John, you know far more about electronics than I do, but I believe it is not just how flat the impedance curve but where it falls.
For years I owned Duntech Princess speakers. Their impedance curve dipped very close to 2 ohms in the range of both the woofers (2) and tweeter. That was a challenge for tube amps even though the curve was relatively flat. Two that seemed to work quite well with the Duntechs were the VTL 225 and 300 mono blocs, both more powerful than average for tube amps. But then I discovered the Parasound Halo JC-1s, a better overall match for my taste.
Your Thiels fall into that small group of speakers with time/phase alignment in design (include Vandersteen and a few others) which can be very revealing and that is the reason for my caution about a trial before building. Either way, good luck, I'm sure you'll be rewarded.
