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,

Hello georgehifi,

I may be purchasing a pair of mono blocks.
They're Wyred4sound SX-1000's.
Some of the higher power Class D amps.

If the sale goes through I'll be sure to let you know whether they can drive a very difficult load speaker.

To let you know what I'll be driving...
A pair of original Infinity Kappa 9 speakers.
This will end the debate of whether these Class D amps can drive some low Ohm speakers for sure!

Right now I drive my 9's with 2 WOPL Phase Linear 700 amps along with my Krell KSA-250.
The Krell drives them to realistic listening levels with zero issues.
The WOPL's drive them as well but they do require active cooling.
I keep my Kappa 9's in the "Extended" mode as that's a true measure of whether the amps can drive them or not.

I have been very curious myself if these Class D amps are up to the task.

Will let you know if I do acquire these...

Seems odd to me but can I ask why you are purchasing these amps that are over $3K without even hearing/knowing they can drive these evil Kappa 9’s

Good luck btw with these IcePower based modules https://ibb.co/hZJN3q5

Good test, looking forward to it and your findings, and hopefully anyone else’s that maybe present, if you could get them to furnish their opinions also.

Cheers George
Heck..if your going to spend over $3K you would be better off purchasing a pair of the Nuprime ST-10M's. The Wyred4Sound amps are not in the same league. Just look under the hood.
The Nuprime power supply is much larger and their custom designed 
switching amp is equal to if not better than the B&O amps. 
The nice thing about Nuprime is that they display their top amps on their website with the covers off to assure you your getting your money's worth. Wyred4Sound will never display their amps online with their top's off. 


Damn fair question... because of the selling price.
If the moderators won't kick me off the thread I'll post what I'm paying for them.
At the purchase price I can't lose...
One of the reasons I’d like to give these a go...
Specifications
  • Design: Monoblock Power Amplifier, Class D.
  • Power Output: 570 Watts RMS into 8 Ohms, 1,140 Watts RMS into 4 Ohms.
  • MFR: 20 Hz – 20 kHz, ± 0.4 dB.
  • THD+N: 0.2% at Rated Output.
  • IMD: (CCIF): 0.0005%
  • Efficiency: 79%
  • Sensitivity: 2.95 Volts.
  • Output Impedance: 0.005 Ohms.

It’s gonna need every bit of those ratings to drive the 9’s!

Without dropping a name I was advised they’re rated into 2-Ohms.

It’s worth a go...
