Talk to @atmasphere. He will tell you how lower impedance = more distortion. The question is always how much (will vary by amp) and is the distortion pleasant sounding or not.
One thing for sure you will likely be advised to NOT use Atmasphere amps with those if truly a nominal 2 ohm load and especially if any kind of response down to 20 hz can be delivered as advertised.
2 ohms will make any amp work harder than if higher. That is a fact. It’s best to make any amp not work harder than necessary.
MC is just plain wrong when he says high efficiency means any amp will do. Not the case if these are in fact 2 ohm speakers with flat response down to 20hz.
BAss is where an amp must work hardest to deliver. The lower the frequency, the harder it works...exponentially.
I would anticipate at best running true 2ohm speakers well off most any amp means limited and distorted bass.
But you never know for sure till you try (and measure) as they say...
Offering a product advertised as 2 ohms tells me Eric is mainly interested in being able to toss a variety of bait (various speaker models with various differences) in order to catch the most fish. Nothing wrong with that. It is what it is. I suppose there is a unifying design approach to them all. The tweeter arrray I suppose. Tweeters are not nearly as hard to drive well as bass drivers. Much less work involved.......exponentially by frequency.
