2 ohm Capable Heads -- What's out there?

[funkmuffin]

OK, So I've been poking around, trying to locate my options in the 2 ohm capable range. So far, I've found the Carvins, the Acoustic 600H, and not much else.

I need to see what the options are, because, frankly, neither of those get me very excited, and I've got 2 4 ohm cabs on the way...


So folks, help a brother out. What are your favorite options for currently available 2 ohm stable heads? I guess I'd consider "not-new, but worth it" options, too.

Thanks!

EA iAmp800 is rated for 1000W@2 Ohm

There are a few iAMP 800 and Acoustic Image Clarus come to mind off the top of my head. I am sure the search feature would help you also.

Get yourself an Eden WT-550. I use one to run two 4 ohm Eden D-410T cabinets on a regular basis.

Amazing tonal flexibility, ear splitting volume and 2 ohm stability in one tidy little package.

Cheers,

Genz Benz GBE series (GBE600, GBE750, GBE1200) all go down to 2 ohms. They sound freakin' amazing too!

+1 to the WT550. My friend uses one with 3x 8ohm 2x10s all the time and it sounds fantastic.

Some great recommendations made. The iAMP800m and the Eden WT550 are both great heads. Different tonally. The iAMP is clean and clear sounding, while the WT550 has that warm Eden tone.

Sunn Coliseum 300.

I completely concur. Wonderful amp, can be had for under $300, play like thunder and never break.

Peavey Firebass or Nitrobass...
or if you lucky and can find one, the T-Max or the Kilo-bass.
