RE: 16 ohms is the key to getting all amps to sound smoother and more detailed

Aren't speakers voltage driven? Speaker manufacturers quote the voltage sensitivity, not the power sensitivity. While the power of a transistor amp into 16 Ohm will drop, its voltage swing will not.

A 16 Ohm speaker will have 3dB less voltage sensitivity though vs an 8 Ohm one.
