My dad had the 16 then jumped a few steps and bought the Ref3, with efficient speakers it was an issue but was tamed by attenuators that shaved 9db off signal, some are a sonic compromise and some get pricey but have little to no negative affect..........Rothwell makes a model some like and some avoid but they are not pricey to try.
PS The Ref3 has a volume NOTHING like the 16,,,,,,,for $10K it better not!
