There are good sounding amplifiers that will drive two ohm loads but they are very few and far between you have a lot to worry about because the speaker will require four times the amount of current from the amp as an 8 ohm load would and if the amp is not capable it will sound thin and bright which you do not want. The problem is that all of the newly manufactured speakers over the last few years are dropping their impedance because of cost of manufacture of the drivers because it takes way more wire and a stronger coil and cone to make a high impedance speaker as well as a better basket, spider, magnet and every other part. It all boils down to cost and sticking it to the customer. Try and find an 8 ohm or higher speaker and give it a listen you will not be disappointed.
2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons
I was just looking at the new models at Tekton. They have a very interesting new version of the Pendragon with the 5-driver array from the Dynamo Monitor. Looks good. But it's $2200/pr loudspeaker. Is there a similarly priced audiophile quality amplifier that can consistently drive a 2 ohm load. And that's an average rating which means that it must dip below 2 ohms at some frequencies.
