Impedance curve of original Forte speaker

Here are measurements that Gil performed on his Forte II speakers and Quartet speakers a while back.  I haven't seen a specific graph for the Forte I; however, from what I have read the Forte I seems to have a very similar curve.

As the impedance goes up, the amplifier is delivering less current. This is the effect of the autotransformer.

PWK used the autotransformer to reduce the power to the mid because it is more efficient than the woofer and tweeter.
