What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load

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

The whole basis of your reasoning is that if the power does not double from 8 ohms to 4 ohms, and then again from 4 to 2, that it couldn't possible work right. There is no way you can make that determination without knowing exactly why a specific power limitation may exist at 2 ohms, and you definitely cannot use whatever logic you may think applies to a linear amplifier to a Class-D.

Whatever you say or how you screw it, does not make anything right!

End of story!

I don't care to invest the time to technically learn and decide whether atdavid or georghifi is correct, but I do want to know which one is correct.

Is there a third, hopefully independent party that can opine to this?

Thanks

     It's apparent that georgehifi has appointed himself the official judge on this thread who administers the amp typology scales of justice with a big, heavy thumb on a particular scale and applies amp typology justice and fairness in the manner of a 15th century sadistic Russian czar.

     C'mon George, are you actually implying that a pair of  the 1 ohm stable, 800 watt and highly praised Merrill Veritas mono-blocks won't make much music on the OP's Thiel CS5s?  Here's a link to just one of a plethora of highly positive reviews on the Veritas and their music making abilities:
