Matti Otala....the guy who did all the work on "TIM" wrote a paper for the AES (and believe it or not.......they accepted it! Or course, this was before he got under their very thin skin with his TIM work.)
Anyway....he showed by some complex mathematical mumbo-jumbo that the drive requirements for a speaker can actually be lower than its DC resistance would dictate.
Bottom line is.........in your case.........Maggies do not exhibit this phenomenon, as cone drivers in boxes do.
Low drive impedance may "grab" the panels better, but there is not necessarily a direct correlation between output Z and drive current.
Make any sense to you????
