16Ohm speakers

If one were to get 16OHM speakers, which DECWARE amp would work with them?  Torii Jr?

I think it would depend more on the sensitivity of the speakers rather than the impedance.

They are JBL C51 Apollo S7s.  Someone is selling them locally.  Not having much luck finding the specs but I believe they are very efficient.

If they are truly "very efficient" then I think you'd be fine with any Decware amp, unless you have a huge room and/or listen really loud. I think it probably is up to you if you want the single-ended sound or the push-pull sound.

Looking around the web I believe you're correct, they're 16 ohm and likely pretty efficient. My Druid Vs are also 16 ohm, and rated at 101dB although in the real world they're more like 97dB. I've used them with an SE34i.2+ and a Torii Mk IV, along with an Almarro A205 that's in the power range of an SE84. They were terrific with all the amps but I preferred the extra headroom of the Torii, so if you're looking at the Torii Jr. I think that's a safe bet. If you have a small room or low volume requirements, they'll all work.

The information I found shows 8 ohms, but it's probably not real important with the high/low switches on the amplifiers.

FWIW the Almarro A205 is a single ended pentode design and is closer to the SE34i in terms of power.
