It can be done. It takes complex crossover design to flatten the impedance curve. It costs money and with high damping factor like most solid state amps it doesn't matter. And I suspect most tube amp lovers like the interaction of the damping factor and impedance curve. And, of course, there are other factors in amps affecting sound. Tube amps do have many virtues. I do like tube amps.
By the way a damping factor of about 20 will show only minor frequency response variations. The old Melos tube amps had a damping factor of around 20 and showed very well on the Stereophile simulated speaker test. Not many tube amps get to 20 but there are probably a few others. But it's hard to do and stay stable with tubes.
