Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances

Seems like all I hear when reading Stereophile’s measurements when it comes to speakers: must be used with a High current amplifier stable at 2 Ohm. Most amplifiers rarely give specs related to 2 ohm loads. Most amplifiers are only stable into 8 and 4 ohm loads, and if they mention 2 ohm it seems they aren’t saying continuous, but peak, short term power.
With speakers becoming more complex and harder to drive, what are some high current amplifiers that have no problem with these 2 ohm or lower impedance speakers?

McCormack DNA 500 if you can find one. 

I just sold mine a few weeks ago that used to drive Thiel CS5i's with no problem.

BUT, my real message here is that I have shifted to high efficiency speakers with a First watt F7 amp.. Dynamic and alive.

An epiphany for me.

Thanks for listening.
