The impedance curve of a speaker refers to its impedence in relation to frequency (to plot, put impedence in ohms on the Y axis, frequency in hertz on the X axis). When you're talking about AC waveforms, the "Resistance" is referred to as impedance.
The speaker will have a different impedance with a 50hz signal applied as opposed to a 10Khz signal.
To tell if a speaker has a flat response, you'd need to look at the impedance curve. Stereophile.com has loudspeaker reviews, and has the curves on the "Measurements" page.
Generally speaking, the flatter the curve, the easier it is for an amplifier to drive the speaker. Also generally speaking, it's easier for an amp to drive an 8 ohm speaker as opposed to a 4 ohm speaker.
For example - My Magnepan speakers are 4 ohm speakers, but since the response is very flat they are considered easy for an amplifier to drive (although they are rather inefficient...)
