Merrill said all of his class D former Veritas and new Element amps are stable down to 1 ohm, George.
Yes, they may be stable that’s only half of the equation, so is a $199 30w NAD 3020 integrated from the 80’s, it’s also "stable" at 2ohm loading, and also on the OP’s Thiel CS5’s, won’t make much music though.
But when I ask him "twice" to produce "true" rms wattage figures (preferably measured by an independent lab) just before clipping at 8, 4, and 2ohms, I was "then" met with a deafening silence.
Only this and also being stable will indicate what’s going with an amp, into serious low impedance’s as the OP’s and many other hi-end speakers have.
Cheers George
