Amplification for stacked quads?

Hello I have a pair of wonderful stacked ESL 57. Right now I am running them with a pair of EAR 509MKII monoblocks (100WPC) but I am considering Berning's ZH-230 (30 WPC) and the integrated Jadis DA-60 (60WPC). Has anyone had experience with stacked quads? Any recommendations in general? And how about the amps I mention here? Many thanks.

I like them a lot. It's just that not having other reference points I don't know if I am missing something. And I have always been a big fan of Berning. But certainly the 509's are quite good.

They do have their metal grills on!...but still after a long period of search in which I tried all sorts of speakers (SF extrema, Living Voice OBX R2, Ocellia Kedros, Quad ESl 63, Devore nines and many others) I think I found my "definitive" speaker...I never heard anything like that.

Thanks for all your answers. I am still processing. Interestingly, today I got a Sonus Faber Musica for my second system (I have a pair of SF Minima) and just out of curiousity I tried it with the quads...I was actually quite impressed. It's extremely precise and it images like crazy...not bad for something in the $2K range (used).
