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,

Nothings been put to rest, let’s see the independant test or even his own, that show the rms wattage doubling just before clipping (same distortion) with all three 8, 4, and 2ohm loads, then I’ll eat my words, and congratulate you on doing something that other Class-D’s can’t. I’ve asked the same from Merrill twice now and got no answer.


That would be cool. But what non-Class D amps exactly are we comparing these to that have been proven to do the trick?

George sounds like you are convinced accordingly that some existing non-Class D amps are proven to do the deed so tell us which proven amps specifically you are recommending dsper consider buying?

Thanks.


Anyone know why Thiel designed such hard to drive speakers when there are so few if any amps around capable of  driving them to the max?


Very few amps are capable of handling that.   In that Class D amps are very efficient, no reason to think they can't.  

Someone bring over a pair of Thiels and we can find out.  I've considered taking the Thiel plunge armed with my BelCanto ref10000m amps on several occasions.
