Nsgarch, itm is the speaker that 'decides' what it needs to produce sound, not the amplifier.
The electroststic speaker's membrane moves in concert with the alternating Voltage with which it is charged, just as you said. And, as you said, not much energy (watts) is used during that action. Not much more energy is necessary to produce the high frequencies (in fact less is usually necessary due to the low volume of those frequencies)in spite of the lowered impedence, thus no real need for 'high current' capability. The biggest problem for the amp on electrostatics is ringing or oscillation due to the highly capacitive nature of the load, not current draw.
