Appreciate the info, but have pretty much entirely dismissed that page

His graph of impedance and phase angle may be accurate, though I doubt it - as the $Phile plots for the 801 Matrix S2 don't even hit a low of 5 Ohms.

My reason for discounting the page lies in most everything towards the bottom of the page, including where he notes:

"6.13 ohms 50-3k" which, SORTA corresponds to the Stereophile measurements of the 801, except, as you've noted - the impedance isn't particularly flat.

Me? I don't need my impedance to be flat - all I care about are maxes, mins, and a nice flat and/or predictable output when driven by a known amplifier. :)
