Just for the record, so there are no assumptions made going forward. If Eden makes a head that states it can handle a 2-Ohm load; It will handle a 2-Ohm load. The WT-550 is a great example of this. While I would be totally comfortable driving this amp at 2-Ohms, I choose using an Eden D210XST(4) with a D410XLT(8) or D212XLT(8) simply because it is all I need with the 550. I find these combinations to be a great match and only drawing 2.67 from the amp.

Also.......

Certainly not suggesting you fall into this group Scott, so please don't take this personally as this is NOT my intent, however, more times than not, it is the end-user that creates their own "horror story" simply because they don't know how to utilize the tools they have.
