How Science Got Sound Wrong
Nope, an article by an actual scientist ... just not an actual scientist on the technology most applicable to the article.mapman16,341 posts11-20-2019 8:22pm How Science Got Sound Wrong Let me guess.  People who know nothing about science tryin... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
jetter,I have no skin in the game for Class-D, AB, or A.  I am just the guy that actually understands what EPDR  is, and why it does not apply to Class-D amps, and why it is particularly harsh to BJT amps, the type that a certain person pushes as ... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
The whole basis of your reasoning is that if the power does not double from 8 ohms to 4 ohms, and then again from 4 to 2, that it couldn't possible work right. There is no way you can make that determination without knowing exactly why a specific ... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Now if only there were Class-D amplifiers that drove into 2 ohms without any trouble like the op asked ... oh, there are. Cherry Class-D do.  Mytek will as well. There is nothing "sexy" about them, they just do the job they are designed to do. Obv... 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
For the same reason an RC-snubber across a diode or FET is not a Zobel network .... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
This is a class-D thread. No one is pushing anything. I am stating, quite clearly, that your "push" of EPDR as a relevant value is meaningless w.r.t. Class-D amplifiers. Given that EPDR is meaningless, we don't need to consider 0.9 ohm loading as ... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Wrong thread georgehifi ... your post has nothing to do with the Ops topic which is Class-D amplifiers. 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
It is not a Zobel network, though it looks the same, it performs a much different function. A Zobel network is placed, typically across the woofer, so that as the impedance of the woofer goes up, the Zobel network simulates a constant impedance. T... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
Just to restate,georgehifi has been pushing the EPDR "number" for certain speakers as a reason why Class-D will not work unless it can drive <2 ohms, as they have an EPDR (Equivalent Peak Dissipation Resistance) < 1 ohm.EPDR is a term that w... 
new GAN amplifier
Given that you have been and are repeatedly misusing the term EPDR, I am not sure how you can make a definitive statement about the OTLs. 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
I think we are adults here, and obviously there is a cost to everything, but the question is and that is being discussed, is what is the real cost to a MFR, and is it justified for a reasonably priced cable. I have shown that with minimal equipmen... 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
Originally patented by Polk 30ish years ago. 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
Free burn in on all cables on their custom cable burn in unit (and they are not $7,000 cables):    https://www.avantiaudio.com/cable-conditioning.htmlCable loaner program (prices start at $700). Cables are burned-in before shipping:    https://www... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
georgehifi,Why did you create a post, delete it, then create a new post making it look like you agree with the post you deleted?  
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
If I was making a thousand a week the cost to burn in would drop to <<$1.00 per cable.This is the real world. Many products are burned in and they don’t just turn them on, they monitor them too, even inexpensive items. That is manufacturing ...
