Each tweeter array is 4 Ohms, the mid-woofers are 6 and the woofers are 3.8.
Unless you're into flutes, oboes and lyres, typical music is 60% bass, 30% mids and 10% highs. At peak power levels, which is what really matters, those percentages translate to 1800W for the woofers, 900W for the mids and 300W for the tweeters for an available two-channel peak power of 3000W. For this example, a single 1000-8 can source the power for the mids and tweeters. As for the woofers, a 1000-2 with a 600 or 800 can do the job. I'm not sure about a single 500 but duals for sure.
It's an academic discussion because this much power is atypical. I doubt very much if my system has ever exceeded 70W peak per side during movies or music for the mids and tweeters. The bass however may have reached a lot higher with movie effects. Cleaner, lower power, lower cost amplification for the actives would be a very good thing.
I'm doing my part as a good citizen by quarantining myself to prevent infection and transmission. I don't dare touch my holy speakers lest I infect them.

Are you self-quarantined because of a case of Audio Obsession? Maybe I caught it from someone back when?
Should I self-quarantine as well?

Yes, you should. You can use e-mail, Zoom, WebEx or Skype. And don't touch any of your audio equipment!

But, but ... if I'm self quarantined, I need my audio equipment. I suppose I could wear gloves or something, eh?

You could but touch the audio equipment before touching yourself. BTW, cerveza virus can last up to 7 days on gloves unless they're made of cardboard or copper. Only 24 hours on cardboard and 8 hours on copper.
I found out today the majestic, large software factory where I work is contaminated. We have a few hundred in there. I haven't been there in 2 weeks.

Philip, you know that I know you've been caressing your gear. You gotta stop that!
I do admit I like to rub the hexagonal sides of my M2OW in hope of Jeannie smoking out from one of its smoothly-contoured sphincters. I'd give her something to think and blink about.
