4 ohm, 8 ohm or 16 ohm tap on amp for quad 57

has anyone compared the affect of using 4, 8 or 16 ohm tap on a tube amplifier when driving a pair of quad 57s ?

if so what do you hear. ?

i am considering a dynaco stereo 70 because it has a 16 ohm tap and is relatively inexpensive for my quads unlimited quad 57s, but am not aware of the advantage of using a 16 ohm tap when driving quad 57s.

hi ralph:

thanks for the explanatiopn. i am using a vtl deluxe 120--a 5 ohm tap, and the quads sound too focused for my taste.
the stereo 70 might solve my problems.
