Amps for Martin Logan SL3


I'm looking to upgrade to a higher end used SS amp. My choices are Conrad Johnson MF2500, BAT VK200, Innersound electrostatic amp. Any of you SL3 owners own or compare these amps? I'm looking for a warm and non fatigueing sound with dynamics and great bass to make my SL3's wake up and come to life. I originally wanted to upgrade the preamp as well but $$$ is limited right now. My spending limit is $2K and my preamp is an Audio Research LS3. I appreciate the suggestions fellas.

Hi! You might want to try a Sunfire amp since the design works well with electrostats, has plenty of juice and runs cool. These can be picked up on the used market pretty cheap. I am using the Sunfire with SL3s in my HT setup, but mine was upgraded with Cardas binding posts and Kimber wiring by the dealer when I originally purchased it. The Signature model provides even more power and has been favorably reviewed by TAS, but will cost you more.

Good luck! R
