You are entirely correct. You have made your point very well. My point is, the OP wanted to know what the output LOAD impedance that his amp was rate for. Doing the test you and Mr.Chips prescribed will not tell him what the optimal output load impedance is. Sure, it will tell him what the amplifier output impedance is, but a number like .14 ohms will do him no good.
I admit that I should have been clearer when I said that,"the test would not work on solid state amps". A more truer statement would be, " This test will only tell you what the optimal load impedance is on a transformer type amplifier. It will not tell you what the optimal load impedance is on a solid state amplifier."
