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,

You guys have me thinking. I’m not at all on your level of knowledge.
So now is a good time for me to throw this out there. I have Legacy Focus mains, with Legacy Marquis center and a nice pair of Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 raal surrounds. Couple of 18 inch subs also. We do up some video concerts while entertaining, classic rock mainly, and volumes stray up over 110 db ( at 10 feet ). The sound in that room is phenomenal. I had a new ATI Signature 6005 series amp, and occasionally the right channel would just quit. I called ATI. They were really nice about it and explained that probably the Legacy’s were dropping below 2 ohms and tripping the channel. ATI then called Legacy and found out that they indeed did go down to 3 during certain conditions. ATI replaced the board with one that could take more punishment, no questions ask. Here’s my question. Legacy has just released their "V" series amps. They are D series with Ice technology. It's double the output of my ATI. 600 verses 300 per channel . It sounds like a perfect fit to me. Any drawbacks ? Please don’t scold me on the effects of loud listening. I’m 64, been racing cars and enjoying loud hobbies my entire life. Too late to cradle myself now .. Thanks for any input.

Thanks guys. My current ATI 6005 uses two 20 amp circuits as I had to run a dedicated line for my second output.
