I wish I had the technical answer for you, but I don't. Maybe someone who has a better technical background understands the argument will chime in.
As I understand it; using a tube amp, and all else being equal, a 16ohm driver will be 3db more efficient than an 8ohm driver.
People usually think in SS terms, where if you go from 8ohm to 4ohm, then you pick up power. But with tube amps it runs in the other direction. You pick up power as you increase impedence, up to a point where there is a dimishing rate of return, which is why you don't see 32ohm drivers. Although you once did see them when tubes were king.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
