I would rather pull the reverb tank and reverb amp out of the A100 and
install it in
the 710 cabinet (now converted to 147) and run the reverb straight off of
the
147 amp to the two  8 ohm stationary 6x9's, but my concern is that running
an
8 0hm load together with the 16 ohm load of the 15" bass and treble
drivers might load
the 147 amp improperly. Should I worry about this?
