Happen to think George makes an excellent point. I've been looking for a speaker that has a worse impedance/phase angle plot than my Paradigm 8 (v3) ... and thanks to George I've found it.
Sorry to throw water on the OP's Q, but I would do a Paradigm (pun) shift and think about a very low output impedance tube amp or a SS amp. As JA said in his test report, if a high'ish impedance tube amp is used, there could be significant sonic colorations tipping in the midrange/treble range.
Not sure how much the amp's in the OP's post cost, but I gotta believe there's some great SS gear in his price range. The Focal 1007s have a "fair'ish" sensitivity (88 db) (per JA) and IMO could use all the power (watts) the OP can provide to sound their best.
