The avt amps, with their solid state output sections, are perfectly happy driving higher Ohms loads, you just dont get quite as much output than it can push into 8 or 4 ohms. No need for you to change anything if it sounds good.

Its actually not possible to rewire 4 16 Ohm speakers (as you have) to make 8 Ohms. The only other sensible option is all in parallel to make 4 Ohms. The AVT head can actually drive a 4Ohm load, at which it will give its max 150W power. It will be working harder however, so if its OK now I'd keep your cab as it is.
