Andy,

You can't infer/conclude that a parallel crossover is more demanding upon an amplifier than a series crossover....or vice-versa. Generally speaking. There are too many other variables at play here.

In the case of these Magnepan X.7 speakers, the series crossover resulted in a somewhat flatter impedance curve in the crossover range. However, the 1.7 has a dip in impedance at higher frequencies the 1.6 doesn't have.
