What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load


Just asking.

I see specs into 4 ohms but nothing into difficult speaker loads (like Thiel CS5's).

Thanks for listening,

Hi Dsper,  While I am hesitant to chime in here, for fear of attack, this is what I think I know:
I replaced my Classe CA-2300 (an amp I  Ioved) with Mola Mola Class D Kalugas.  They drive my Revel Ultimate 2 Salon 2's, a speaker not super easy to drive.  The Kalugas are more dynamic, better bass control, faster, as well as more resolved on the high end.  I honestly heard sounds I had not heard before, with no compromises to me.  I compared back and forth several times before absolutely deciding the Mola Mola's were better to my ears.  I previously had rejected Class D amps (PS Audio).

Here are their 8, 4 and 2 ohm specs:

PERFORMANCE

400W/8 ohm, 700W/4 ohm, 1200W/2 ohm
Gain: 28dB
Unweighted Signal/Noise Ratio: 128dB
Distortion (THD, IMD): <0.003 % (all frequencies and power levels)
Input Impedance: 100kohm
Output Impedance: <0.003 ohm (DF>4000), all frequencies
Bandwidth: >50kHz

I have since added the Mola Mola Makua with onboard DAC and all I can say is wow and the WAF is off the charts.

These are not inexpensive Class D amps by a long shot, but are both aesthetically and sonically stunning. 

If you are near to Maryland, stop by for a listen!

...falling flat on my face now...but at least I can still listen from this position!
