I was looking at a ST-70 for sale, and noticed that the NFB was connected to the 8 ohm winding, instead of the 16 ohm tap. Is there any downside to running a amp in this configuration?

It should not matter, as NFB, for one of the better words, is used to reduce distortion, so as long as the NFB signal is present, that should suffice in this instance.

To day most like the Sound of the speakers being used in the NFB loop...so we split the diff an use the 8 ohm tap....but if your using the 4 ohm tap...you can use the 4ohm tap for the NFB...
I never use the 4 ohm tap even with 4 ohm speakers...as it about 2-3db less output an sounds a littel dark in my setups
less your runing 16 ohm speakers....most to day 4-5-8ohm speaker ....
but it well work fine on any tap................
Thanks for the site Bob...........
