2 Ohm Tekton Pendragons

Two different issues,
1 4 ohm speakers are common these days so in that regard nothing out of the ordinary for Tekton to choose that route. If a 4 ohm load is relatively flat and avoids steep phase angles (Particularly at lower frequencies) many amplifiers can manage that. I drove a friend’s 4 ohm  Double Impacts with my 300b SET without any problems.

2 The topic of this thread is more specifically referencing 2 ohm nominal speaker loads. This is not a common choice at all and for good reason . Many posters on this thread have givenlogical reasons as to why this is so.
Big difference between 2 ohm versus 4 ohm nominal speaker impedance loads.

One is commonplace and the other is rare (For very good reasons). Who has even questioned the 4 ohm Moabs (Probably very similar to the Double Impacts mentioned earlier). It is not the topic as it’s not a 2 ohm load.

Arrogant?

Pot calling the kettle black.

It’s no secret that some on this forum tend to deify the designers of gear they own. And pity the fools who dare to question the alter upon which some sacrifice so freely.

The Apogees and their super low impedance are certainly a curiosity. The type of speaker they were and how they were designed , required them to have the ratings they did. 
But a traditional box speaker with a 2ohm nominal impedance?

Why? To play louder with more distortion?

To each their own. Amps feed speakers. Demanding speakers stress amps. A stressed amp, distorts. If that’s what you want, enjoy.
And why, is it that some separate amp designers and speaker designers so adamantly? Each has to have a solid understanding of what the other does, otherwise, it ain’t gonna sound too good.

Whatever happened to Apogee Scintillas?  They certainly sounded good driven by limitless Class A that doubled up power down to 2 ohm anyway.

I guess 1 ohm speakers may not catch on again?

millercarbon   "skirts over their heads"    did you look?

I am no technical guru in the class of MillerCarbon. Presently, I drive my Tekton Design 4 Ohm Double Impacts with a Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 Reference+ amplifier. With the ZOTL technology, I believe this amp should be able to drive the 2 Ohm Pendragon. I would be interested in hearing MillerCarbon’s thoughts, or an owner of my amplifier.
