RE: I mean to tell you/

The Peerless on the W6M is part number 16431.

The 16431 was chosen by Heath because it had a 70 volt secondary tap and hence would have some applications in the pro sound sectors of the marketplace.

Here's some historical trivia. Peerless designed two other outputs for the W6m amplifier.

I actually prefer each of these two alternates over the 16431. Neither of these two had the 70 volt line tap on the secondary.

One of the two had a bifilar wound secondary (16, 8, 4, & 1 ohm) and the other had a really cool trifilar secondary (again, 16, 8, 4, and 1 ohm).

If you don't need the 70 volt line tap then either one of the alternates would be a better choice IMO.
