A properly designed amplifier will not interact with the speakers. Power amplifiers are supposed to be voltage sources. Their output voltage is the product of their gain times the input voltage. One of the design goals of good amps is to not have their output voltage vary as a result of speaker impedance. If it does the system will not have flat frequency response. The spec that measures of the designers success in this regard is the amps damping factor. Above 10 or 15 it probably is acadmemic. Good transistor amps will measure in the hundreds.
