Hi Bill,
You might consider e-mailing Ralph Karsten with your question and include a link to John Atkinson's measurement page from the 2002 Stereophile review of the Andra II. Ralph's a very straight shooter. Here's the link showing Atkinson's impedance measurements:

The Andra II's impedance dips to 3 ohms at 60 Hz. At high volume levels (probably around 108-110 dB peak at 1 meter) that would likely be where your amps would run out of steam first. But run it by Ralph to see what the man says.
Not that it's any of my buisness, but if you have MA-2's and are looking for world-class dynamics you might consider the 16-ohm Classic Audio Reproductions T-5. The combination would be capable of clean peaks over 120 dB, with virtually no thermal compression below 115 dB. I don't sell Classic Audio Reproductions speakers but do think highly of them. I do peddle Atma-Sphere, just so you know.
Best of luck to you,
Duke
