What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load

joysjane

Won't be able to find out if the SX-1000's would power my speakers.
The deal fell through.

I say lucky you, that was to me was more divine intervention.

Cheers George


Hey George... update.
Looks like we're gonna find out if the Class D amps will drive the Infinity Kappa 9's after all.

Am in a transaction with a fellow a-goner for the purchase of the Wyred4sound SX-1000 monos.

Will be reporting to this thread if they truly can drive difficult loads. 

This'll be good, the maker doesn't even dare to mention 2ohm let alone 0.8ohm.

Cheers (sorry no) good luck George

Here’s what the Aussie’s think about the Kappa 9’s after this guy posted them up for sale. I think the 2 pages of discussions on how they are to drive, killed his sale of them. Wilson Alexia’s are even harder as their lower most impedance is up even higher around 80hz

Fello A-Goners,

The Class D SX-1000 amps arrived today.

First impression is this...
I'm definitely blown away at the size of these mono block amps!
They're tiny compared to my Phase Linear 700's in size and weight.
Even my wife said WHAT!

I go into this without ANY preconceived thoughts.
I'm an open minded individual.

Tomorrow will be hook up time, to do an evaluation, on these Class D amp's ability to drive some ridiculous low impedance speakers...
Infinity Kappa 9's.

We'll be able to put this discussion to a real world evaluation rather than what my brother's smother's friend of the family said!

Stay tuned y'all...............

Damn georgehifi,

Didn't think there was ANY SPEAKER harder to drive than the 9's.... WOW!
I know the Scintillas were close but DANG!

Something I've noticed with hard to drive speakers.
Given the right amplification they just seem to be more powerful at music reproduction than the high efficiency speakers.
Especially in the bass region.
