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,

What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load

Simple fact is: Class-D cannot drive a 2ohm load and double it's wattage down to that 2ohms, load like a good linear bi-polar amps, end of story!
  
That is why with the many speakers similar to the Alexia, B&W etc loading, Class-D's are not a good match, even complimentary push pull N and P channel Mosfets are not, except amps that use only N channel Mosfets only.

To others here. Both the above posters have financial interests in selling their own Class-D current or yet to be released, this is why they have their backs up.

Cheers George
Simple fact, very few amps.....including class A or A/B doubles its power down to 2 ohms. For instance, the Parasound JC1+ was measured at 1200 watts into 2 ohms (if it doubled all the way down to 2 ohms then it would put out 2000 watts).....which, by the way is exactly what the NC2000 does (2000 watts)....sorry, Parasound loses. By the way, the Merrill 118 class D mono blocks double all they way down to 2 ohms (1600 watts into 2 ohms)....much better than Parasound.

Doubling power does not matter. The only thing that matters is whether the amp has enough power at 2 ohms to drive the speaker at the listening level you want. George can rant on and on about this but this is the truth. 1000 watts into 2 ohms is 1000 watts into 2 ohms. Practically no one who has a 2 ohm dip speaker will ever use this much power unless you are in a huge room and play super, super loud.....this is the actual fact.....not anything to do with doubling power. George has never listened to any of these class D amps so what does he know about how they drive these speakers? You know the answer.

I would back any time the Parasound Halo JC1+’s sound and drive-ability up against ANY Class-D into the loads the likes of the Alexia’s, B&W’s etc etc
You and Ralph are both just in product protection mode, it's so obvious
Its so obvious you are in ego protection mode. Ralph is not even talking about power......in fact, you are the one that brought up (for no apparent reason)....your thoughts on bandwidth and GaNs here. They have nothing to do with power and you know it. I sold 12 class D amps LAST YEAR and am making no more.....so what product am I protecting? You keep saying the same silly things over and over again. I really feel sorry for you.

BTW, I have said all that I know on this subject so I will bow out unless I see some info that needs help.  I like to be helpful.  I want people to be happy and buy the best and least expensive thing for their stereo or whatever.
whatever!
Like i said

And that's what this thread is all about!!
