I just saw the impedance curve. Wow, that's pretty brutal. I would love to see the schematics for this beastie and see if it can be made more amplifier friendly.
On another note, one thing I've found about amps and low impedance in the bass:
- Amps can be more susceptible to sounding weak due to low impedance than you'd think.
- This is easily audible. Basically pick the amp that produces the deepest tightest bass. :)
- Sometimes speakers have horrible impedance issues for lack of better simulation tools (i.e. old speakers designed empirically) and sometimes they get there to make them seem more demanding. Audiophiles often equate a demanding speaker with a better speaker.
To the OP: Buy what you like, I think the impedance issue, so long as it meets the amps minimum impedance requirements, will be something you can 100% hear for yourself, either way.
Best,
E
