Experiment. You have to listen to a lot of different kinds of music to get a sense of what is happening in these cases.

If you had the electrical load and phase angle curves for your speakers that might make it possible for you to understand what you hear. When a mfr. quotes nominal impedance, one has virtually nothing to go on.

I'm pretty sure you will be OK on simple music (singer-songwriter/acoustic stuff), but Mahler-like symphonic music will probably not be at its best.
