Multichannel amps that can drive low impedances?


A friend has asked for advice on a multichannel amp to drive some speaker designs he is building...he wants a multichannel amp good down to 1 ohm. Budget is around $3000 used.
I've never heard of one...any advice? If nothing else I guess I could tell him to get some older Krell monos.

You do mean dips to 1ohm I hope? He is not building some Apogee Scintilla clones is he?

$3,000 may be tuff to find something but another $500 or less should find him an Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature II on the used market. With it's power-tracking technology and huge power output (over 400X5) watts a channel it should be up to the job if he's building the former and not the later I asked about above.

How efficient will his design be? This could bring many amps into or out of the running.

Some of the new digital amps have no problem with even the Apogee Scintilla but $3,000 won't work unless the Carver digital pro amp will work? I know nothing mush about the Carver except it is fairly cheap to buy and is said to have no problem driving Maggies at 4ohm.
