RE: Is 16 gauge speaker wite ok to use with my Merlin TSMBME

He's using a tube amp which means low damping factor. That means every peak and dip in the impedance curve will be reflected in the speakers response significantly, probably two peaks above and below the box resonance and at least one at the mid range crossover. Some may like this, which is their right, but the term fidelity is inappropriate in this case.
