The amplifier will deliver voltage. Ohm's law is still valid! If your speaker is a 4 Ohm load, it will draw more current from the amplifier than a 8 Ohm load. In the case of a typical Magnepan speaker the impedance is almost resistive. That will keep the flow of current lower as the voltage and current is in phase. 400 W into 4 Ohm is 40 V and 10 A. 200 W into 4 Ohm is 28.3 V and 7 A.
