Amps for ESL

I use the Innersound esl amp to drive Magnepan 1.6 and love the effortless sound. Paul Seydor, a reviewer for The Absolute Sound, reviewed the Innersound esl amp with Quad speakers in the February 2001 issue. Here is a link to the review: http://innersound.net/eslreview.html.

If you are interested in an Innersound amp and you can't find a dealer in Oz, give Duke at Audiokinesis a call or email. He is one of the best people to work with in the industry, not just amongst dealers either : ) Sean

PS... BIG voltage and BIG current are a winning combination for any type of reactive and / or low impedance load. The less "finicky" the load that the amp sees and the more efficient the speaker is, the easier it is to pick amps.

Hi
I had the quad esl 63 with the stax da80(45 watts pure class A,and stx da 100,100w class A),
They really are singing superb mid rande ,musical,et plenty of dry bass.
You could get a da80 for $800 on audiogon but you have to be patient,never seen a da 100
regards

Try a McIntosh MC402 amp you will have no issues. They use auto transformers and function like a tube amp. Quad 62 will sing.

do yourself a favor: try a QUAD amp (909,606,306,303 but not the 99!) it will sound better then most other amps costing 10x more. However, you should avoid Quad preamps!
For more then 30 years i've owned 57,63,988,2805 with CJ,Electrocompaniet,Bedini,Counterpoint,Bryston, Naim,Pass Labs...,but always returned to the Quad amps !
