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,

Oh hell no...
The Kappa 9's are my last pair of speakers.
Will be selling my Legacy-Audio Focus & Infinity Prelude MTS' some time in the near future.

My KSA Krell is great for the winter as we live in WY. I switch to the PL WOPL's for the rest of the year. They both make the Kappa 9's sing...
And they damn well better!
KSA rated to 4kw @ 0.5 ohm with the Claire Bros WOPL's testing to 513w per channel to 8 ohm.
That's over 1kw per channel @ 8 ohms of Phase Linear bi-amp power that's sweet as honey!

At eight-hunge for the two 1000's it's worth a go. 
I seriously doubt they can compete with my amps but, it'll be fun to see what Class D amps sound like w/the 9's.
I'm intrigued by the small package & lack of weight.
It's just a curiosity thing.

I'm pretty sure the Kappa 9's are gonna suck/inhale these two mono blocks half way into the speaker cables, good thing I have some large ones, and pull my power cables tight on the outlets!
Bahahahaaaaa......


Hey dsper...
Huh, don't those Class D amps have a Damping Factor of 1000?
That surprises me.
I would have thought they would start to get harsh on the upper mids and higher freq's.





To be honest, I'm not sold on what @cascadesphil is saying about his EVS1200 amp being suitable for his Thiel CS3.6 speakers(based on Icepower 1200AS1 modules).


Also this thread, we're talking with the CS3.5 Thiels, which are far harder to drive than the 3.6

Love it 1000ASP ICEpower module Class-D getting sucked up the speaker cables.

joysjane,

I do not know what more to say about the ST1000. I read great things about the amp before I bought mine.

The ST1000 played loud but was lacking in dynamics and sounded bland.

I was astonished how much better the Maggie's and Thiels sounded with good class AB amps. 

A learning point for me from this thread is that it appears there are no standardized measurements for current and damping factor.

That is one reason why I like the Stereophile test measurements as they can help you to understand about a specific amp. Problem was the ST1000 was not reviewed by them and I could not find test measurements elsewhere.

Thanks for  listening,
