The one simple summary of all that information might be that the better damped (ie. controlled) the speaker itself is the more likely that it will work well with a SET amp. Speakers with poor self control (ie. High Q bass alignment, wild impedance, high mass drivers with small motors etc.) need to get it from the partnering amp but this then introduces compromises (as we in SET asylum all know) in the circuit design that does not lead to good sound (like lots of negative feedback).
