Acroy, Please go to the link you provided, again under amps, and look at the blurb about power factor. This is really what sets amps apart.
Amps which measure the same into a resistor are pretty much the same.
However, add in reactance and even some highly regarded amps will fall down. Is that the speakers fault?
Please check out the power cube link to see how bad it can get.
So, I wouldn't exactly say the speaker will mangle the sound, but rather the amp is not capable.
Don't forget one of the highly regarded speakers off all times, the Apogee Scintilla in its low impedance version was a notorious amp destroyer. But with a capable amp? Terrific.
I'd love to see how some of the amps you reff'd would play out in the power cube test.
Now, it is certainly a matter of opinion but the kilowatt version of the W4S ICE amps is what....about 2.50$ per watt?
Too much is never enough
