Can the Manley Neoclassic 300B handle a 2 ohm load

Hi all,

l am very interested in this amp, however my speakers have a load dip down to 2 ohms, although nominally they are 3 ohms plus. Rated at 96db efficency however.

Would the Manley be OK with this type of load, or will the bottom end be MIA?

Cheers Simon

I own 2 amps that can easily handle the load:
Dynaco ST-80 (1996 by Panor)-great EL34 amp that is switchable triode or ultralinear and has 2 ohm taps.
Grommes G101A Monoblocks-amazing 30 year old amps that handle down to 1.4 ohms with no sweat using 6GT5 tubes. This amp is fast, tight and clean.
I'm not giving mine up but, I can help you find some of your own if you need..................
