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,

Oscillation has nothing to do with whether an amplifier can double power as impedance is halved, and has nothing to do with whether or any such nonsense.

This statement is false, and quoting nobody, your inferring that someone said if an amp can double down to 2ohms, it’s also stable (won’t oscillate)

Can you point to who said this, or is this just a ******* in the wind statement that someone did, I’ve searched and no one has, not even golfnutz who you quoted.
Well that would make sense as you describe it sounding sterile.
Most definitely would be the reason why my wife asked what's wrong with the stereo...

I am happy they didn't damage my Kappa Tweeters. Did an inspection right after and all's ok.

They're singing with the WOPL's now....

Old Infinity speakers were tuned without much regard to impedance. I'm not sure which speakers you have, but I've seen a number of crossover upgrades for them you should consider which fixes these issues.

Good as they originally sounded, they were designed without the tools we have today which would allow for simultaneous optimization of frequency and impedance.

I've owned Kappa 9. X before and after mods to the XO. 10 plus years ago. I sold those speakers and the guy LOVES them. I did too, to tell the truth.

Ampzilla 2000 were the only amp that I owned at the time that would drive ANYTHING, including those.

They were touched by Mr B himself. I got them to actually drive .5-2.0 ohm strathearns ribbons. True amp killers at the time worse than
Kappa 9.  They were flawless, got hot but NEVER shut down. THE KEY was supply voltage for me. 20 amp circuit per amp.

The same when I sold them and went to class Ds.  It was a supply and demand issue for me.

A single 15 or 20 for two monoblocks just couldn't provide the UMPH!! (mechanics term) without loosing the dynamics that Strathearns can provide.  It took two dedicated circuits and voltage maint. of 120. The class Ds sounded stunning, even more so after a break in.
How did I find out? The guy that bought the Kappa 9 went to class Ds at least a year before me. He almost got rid of them and he installed 2 dedicated 15 amp circuits from a single 15. He was amazed the difference in BASS response. From Krells to class D and once the electrical issue was ironed out, it sounded better than the Krells. ZERO floor noise, zip, nada, nothing... Goes to show that the amps PS is a big factor in how it performs. Krells, Big Macs, Pass, serious power supplies.

The class D sounded BETTER, than ANY amp I've used to drive True ribbons, or planars.  As a matter of fact, the only place I run a different typology is in the mids and highs, that only with a GREAT valve amp (over 22K spec), and normally in the winter..700hz down nothing but class D. Just the best.. I use Nords One Up rev B,C,D NC500s x 7 and never a problem. Sparko and SI OpAmps.

I still have a shop full of great amps, and use them, sound great, but these class Ds are SO COOL....

Regards.
