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

Well a speaker's excursion is proportional to current, not voltage. Current and voltage are also proportional - but there's some nuance. If you connect a low impedance load to a voltage source that can't supply the current at the designated voltage, the voltage will drop to match the current it can supply (or perhaps your source will fry or catch fire).

How that relates to matching amps and loudspeakers, a bit above my pay grade.
