The size of the magnet does not change with rated impedance - 4, 8 and
16
ohms versions have identical magnet structures.
I think that's probably true, based on what I've seen.
Speakers have been made with impedances from 0.5 ohms ( eg Bose) up to
hundreds of ohms and the only thing that changes in the gauge of the wire
wound on the voice coil.
FWIW, I have found trolling through the Eminence online catalog to be
a source of a great deal of data on loudspeakers.
