Can the Manley Neoclassic 300B handle a 2 ohm load

If you really wish to keep your speakers, you may want to consider an impedance matching device, like Paul Speltz's ZERO autoformers (http://www.zeroimpedance.com). I have been evaluating them in my system for about 2 months, and have been pleased with the results. Mind you I purchased them not as a long term solution to keep my speakers, but more or less so I could continue listen to music at a high level of resolution while I attempt to find an 8 Ohm speaker that is complimentary to the rest of my system. Also, the ZERO autoformers seem to be system dependent - in other words YMMV.

Sdatch is right, with the Speltz autoformer you could make the impedance load appear to be anything from 2 to about 20 OHMS and several selections in between each with a different sonic flavor. Try them they are fun.

DUH? My face is red. Isn't the 300B a preamp?

I own 2 amps that can easily handle the load:
Dynaco ST-80 (1996 by Panor)-great EL34 amp that is switchable triode or ultralinear and has 2 ohm taps.
Grommes G101A Monoblocks-amazing 30 year old amps that handle down to 1.4 ohms with no sweat using 6GT5 tubes. This amp is fast, tight and clean.
I'm not giving mine up but, I can help you find some of your own if you need..................

Don't be red Gregadd,
You could use it as a preamp or 300B power amp 2W/ch onto 8Ohms.
To 2Ohms probably not even half-watt.
