Default Speaker Impedance and Amp Sound

In an earlier post, I said that my Martin-Logan speakers fell below 2 Ohms
impedance, but that this should be inconsequential. I forgot to add that this
would prove inconsequential for most Solid-State amps (which was what I was
thinking about when I made the comment). Of course, it would likely be very
consequential for most tube amps, as they, generally, do NOT like highly
reactive loads. I still suspect that unless that reactance caused some kind
of non-linearity in the driving amp, that this would likely affect top-end
frequency response rather than distortion.
