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?

Another way to look at it is to search for the few, underline few, amps that can comfortably and reliably,heavily underline reliably, drive the Apogee Scintilla which goes down to 1 ohm. Looking at those amps will tell you what is necessary for an amp to handle such a load.
