Sorry Erik, I won't be engaging in any more of this discussion.And, the Angels shall weep.😭
Now, back to our topic:
So, what amp WILL drive a 2 ohm load?

golfnutz25 posts Sorry Erik, I won't be engaging in any more of this discussion. You can find the quotes yourself if you need to see them. gdnrbob And, the Angels shall weep. gdnrbob 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. |
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 :) 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 offeringsWith 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. |
