Thanks everyone. I'm not going to pursue the Scintillas. Just too many problems but mostly the distance and the ML Prodigies are doing just fine. I also use the ML Theater i and the ML Scripts as my everyday system. I run everything as a home theater using a high end Pioneer receiver that has pre-outs. I switch amps now and then sometimes biamping the Prods. I have a Yamaha M2 that needs to go in next.
I read up on the Sunfire CGs. The first Sunfire amp which was 2 channel was rated for 1 ohm for "certain electrostatic speakers". At 1 ohm the output is 2400 watts per channel! But alas the CG which was the 2nd Sunfire product and 5 channels will only tolerate 4 ohm loads. I do wonder how that Sunfire stereo amp would perform with the Scintillas.
It is interesting that Maggies were brought up because I also have a pair of MG-111 that need a total rebuild. I have all the new parts including new ribbon tweeters. My plan is to actively bi or tri-amp these using a vintage Pioneer SF 850 active crossover. The garage is too cold now but I'll have the house to myself for 2 weeks in March so maybe I can do the rebuild then.
Thanks again everybody.
