I would respectfully and seriously suggest that you audition full range Sound Lab electrostatics when you get a chance. If domestic tranquility and acceptance is a factor, the A series approach the look of fine furniture with book matched finish and so on. SLs may give you the results you are looking for. They are a final purchase. If you must stick with ML (certainly a great choice) audition the McINtosh 602 amp. At a friends store they made the MLs sound more musical and lifelike than some of the other amps mentioned. IMHO.
All ML or mix & match with Electrostatics?
I AM CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF A ML380S WITH EITHER ML390S OR 360S DAC & 37 TRANSPORT OR MIX AND MATCH ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS. THE SYSTEM NOW IS RUN BY ML336 AMP AND MARTIN LOGAN PRODIGY SPEAKERS. I PREFER THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MY SYSTEM WITH A REMOTE AND REALIZE THIS IS POSSIBLE WITH ALL ML EQUIPMENT. YET LOOKING FOR A PLEASING DETAILED YET WARM, FULL BODIED SOUND. I AM BUILDING THE SYSTEM AND DO PREFER NOT TO BUY AND RESELL. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR HO.
