Efficiency & Resistance

People usually speak of the 'High Efficiency' of a speaker . But very few dwell on the resistance aspect . It seems that even some of the 'high efficiency' speakers stay in the 8 ohm range .
How important is the resistance in a high efficiency speaker for low wattage usage , such as SET's ?
What is gained with higher resistance ?
What would be required to convert an 8 ohm speaker to 14 or 16 ohms and would it affect the original sound ?

Thank You
