Not the hardest to drive 86 db and 4 ohm

Amp wiim amp ultra, lots of power,great sound and room correction with high and low pass filter, peq and normal eq, lots of streaming (no apple airplay), mabye get the DALI SUB E-9 F for a warmer sound, adding more warmth to the sound

If not an option for you, mabye a tube amp will have the warm sound you want

Any frequency,sound character besides a warm sound you wanna focus on ?
Yes. I've never understood this hard to drive stuff. Unless you have a 7W/channel valve amp then driving speakers really isn't an issue.
 
Most amplifiers will "drive" most speakers, as long as you stay within the amp's limits. Fully controlling a loudspeaker, producing dynamic swings, remaining stable under awkward loads, and just generally making the speaker sound like it's alive can be quite a different thing. Just slapping together an amp and speakers based on numbers isn't the best way to do it.

The lower the impedance the more current you need to drive them properly, which a lot of amps have problems with. (86db is also a low sensitivity for 4ohm speakers so you need an amp with plenty of current available to get the best out of it)

It's 8 ohm spakers that just happens to go down til around 4 ohm

Today 4 ohm is nomal and 86db is not low, measure how loud your listening when watching tv or background jazz music

Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-600M

The Klipsch's specified sensitivity is an extraordinarily high 96dB/2.83V/m. My estimate was much lower, at 89.6dB(B)/2.83V/m, though this is still higher than is typical for a small two-way speaker.

I can honestly say that I've never had a problem driving a speaker with any amp since I started hifi in 1990.
