RE: Why?

Impedance curves can show resonances, both mechanical and electrical. They can also give indications of energy storage( capacitance and inductance). Yes amps can drive those loads but that doesn't mean the amp can compensate for problems in the speaker which is a complex combination of electrical and mechanical loadings that can store energy, can ring, etc. Smooth on axis response says nothing about these factors. And one can argue that while flat response should be a goal, it is not that important a factor in sounding live(with a good recording). Changing your seat at a live concert changes the balance of tones but it still sounds live in both seats.

And flat response tells you nothing about transient response and dynamic response which are critical to simulating a live affect.
