Difference in Demands on Amps


All things being equal, will a Magnepan 20.1 or 20.7 present a more challenging 'load' to your mono-block amps? How does one really quantify that difference if any?

I think there was a thread about a year ago from someone who was having trouble driving the 20.1's with the Cary 500's. If I recall correctly, it was pointed out that the 20.1's had a pretty significant impedance dip to about 2 ohms that you don't have with the 3.6's.
I'd not want to speculate on the 20.7's. The crossovers are different. I'd want to see the impedance curve.
