What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load

George,

So I take it you have no response regarding your abhorrent manners and/or your inaccurate statements? Would you care to rebut my 8th grade math or perhaps my very rudimentary understanding or electronics design?  

I did unfollow, but I got this one before. definitely gone now.

Look at complimentary BJT’s with massive power supplies that I’ve been suggesting for these loads, then look at your Class-D Mosfets usually not complementary as the P channel stinks, then the 8th grade maths don’t mean ****..

George's arguments are irrational. For him doubling down power is more important that the absolute power and current the amplifier actually gives. Typical audiophile rule of thumb that has no backing on actual physics and basic math.

McIntosh MC2KW is class AB and has 2,000 W in 8, 4 or 2 ohms. In his book it is a bad amp with not enough current because it does not double down too...

This statement is false. One of the advantages of a class D circuit is that since the output devices are only switched on and off, matching the devices is unimportant and the need for a complementary device eliminated. McIntosh

Yes- as long as it can behave as a voltage source, doubling power is unimportant. Our amps don't even act as voltage sources and they've been getting awards in the high end press for decades now. Its a common audiophile myth that doubling power is the most important thing about an amplifier when other aspects such as distortion or bandwidth are often far more important. A myopic viewpoint is often limited...

I am so pleased that others with, apparently, endless patience and REAL knowledge, have taken the time to contribute positively to this thread.

For me, it doesn’t matter that some of the posts have been made by suppliers / manufacturers. What matters is the quality of information and the clearly stated reasoning behind their position that the right Class D amp, properly designed and built, will drive heavy-load speakers.

There is an obvious point to me: certainly for EU/UK law, products that don’t do what is claimed will very quickly mean suppliers / manufacturers will be brought to book in the context of trading / consumer legislation. Also, most suppliers presumably rely on reputation. If they supplied goods that didn’t do as claimed, that reputation would be damaged pretty quickly.

To those who have contributed constructively, retaining their cool in the face of substantial provocation, I for one appreciate it.
