I burnt the transformer out before the guy rewired the cab. I took it to a crate repair dealer and they fixed both times I was lucky it was still in warranty. And my crate is a solid state. And I agree with you on the ohms it's not good to mismatch ohms. If u do mismatch it before to long something is going to give I learned the hard way burning out mine. It's best to run it as close as possible. What's crazy is on a solid state amp the lower the ohms the better and louder it is. I don't think I have ever seen a solid state amp with 16 ohms. Back 25 years ago I never seen a tube amp with 4 ohms all the ones I seen only had 8/16 ohms. The techs I talked to said running a tube amp at 4 ohms wasn't good but now pretty much all tube amps have 4/8/16 ohms output.
