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,

@georgehifi ,
Can you just drop down the level of sarcasm and argumentativeness a couple of notches?

REALLY!! after saying that to me,  https://youtu.be/YTY26k0CA0I?t=6 


And the self appointed forum cop has spoken.
golfnutz from his very few posts (25) had more knowledge than either of you. Audiogon's loss if he leaves.

Thanks George.

This thread should have been finished after the 5th post. I think your response nailed it perfectly. Class-D and speakers < 2ohms just don't work, with maybe the exception of some of the latest offerings that cost just as much as a good quality Class A amp.

Of course you can take my word for anything I say I hear.  Also, because I am not in the business I tell things like it is without concern for politics.  
I didn't doubt you :)

With class D amps the older amps were limited by their output filters- not their current. With newer amps that can switch faster, the output filter can be set to a higher frequency and so 2 ohms isn't the concern it used to be.
2 ohms requires more current of course. Most output sections can handle the current; we're using devices rated at 30 amps each which is double the current capacity required for our prototype to make full power into 2 ohms. The problem isn't the class D so much as it is whether the heatsinks provide adequate cooling (important even for GaNFET-based output sections into that sort of impedance) and whether the power supplies have adequate current to support the power.
So like any other amp: some do some don't. Simply inquire with the manufacturer. Yes- just that simple... 5 pages later.


some do some don’t

By all means please show the do’s in Class-D, hopefully independently tested, impedance v rms wattage all at just before clipping into 8, 4 and 2ohms, the same distortion figures.
