I have some experience with the effects of high source impedance
with My Diy ribbon/planar phones.
The current model has a lot of series resistance in the planar
coil, effectively giving me little if any damping factor.
There is little or no mechanical damping with this design.
The effect is a dramatic mid-bass resonance that needs taming with an inline capacitor.
Also there is some midrange 'suck out' .
The next version of these coils will have little series Resistance so
things will be down to cable/source impedance for control.
This will need to be low.
Depending on the results this will enable some tuning of the sound to be achieved.
Like others here I also feel that the Beyer 931s benefit from a bit
of series resistance, which seems to calm the highs and improve
the bass volume[probably at the expense of some control if taken too far].
I would guess that manufactures use such effects to 'tune' their
products also, as I have noted that people mention cable changes on Senns for instance,
can brighten up the sound.
