What happens to an amp below 2 ohms?


.
I've been reading some amplifier specs. They rate a particular amp stable down to 2 ohms. What happens if the speaker dips to 1 ohm or below? Does the speaker get damaged, or does the amp clip or turn itself off or get damaged?

The benefits that some speakers that have low impedance's provide, outweigh the disadvantages of that low impedance. Buy the speakers you like best, then buy an appropriate amp.
