Class D

Been thinking of trying a D amp to reduce clutter. Most that I see are not rated at 2 ohms.  My PSB Stratus gold's will drop to 3 ohms or lower at some frequencies. So my question is will these types of amps handle this impedance ?
Thanks in advance. Chris

@audio2design.  
 Yup, heard several, at audio shows and my local dealer, and other dealers.

 Still bland. Would not comment unless I heard them.
     Crown or QSC, vs top tier brands, all the same sound

 it’s labeled better, at 12X the price?

 Get the QSC AMP!

Class D - lifeless.
  Midrange,  no depth, no crunch
highs, , subdued, lifeless.

bass ok, but no feeling, dry and tight.

 Not,for me.

A  or A/AB is the ticket to enjoyment.

while they sounded fine, they did not have the depth, or crunch of a nice class A/AB amp.

 high priced amps are paying for the same old routine.
Crown makes great class D amps, as does QSC, your paying for the name and advertiising, not sound.

 get a nice class AB amp and have enough power and great sound for 20 years!

 even my old class H amp would smoke any class D amp made.

 dont believe the advertising, and smokescreen reviews.
