Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ?

Just thought I'd chime in on this thread after I found it during a search. Regarding the Aragon's ability to drive a 1 ohm load and, more specifically Apogee speakers - I distinctly remember the letter which Mondial wrote to Stereophile after they tested the 8008ST and complained that it blew a fuse into 2 ohms (@ 700WPC). Mondial pointed out that a famous museum (Smithsonian I think) was using Palladium's to power some Apogee speakers that they had on display that presented the most difficult load known...I can only assume that these were Scintillas.

I myself wouldn't choose any Apogee speakers over today's better offerings, however back in the day I believe they were something to be reckoned with. Regardless, there are other speakers that require stability and current that the question is valid for.
