Yada- Though I believe tubes (particularly OTLs) and esls were made for each other, if you must go ss, then I'd suggest you consider Spectral. My limited experience with a Pass X350 amp (albeit, not on esls) was less than impressive. In my 15 years with esls, there were only 2 ss amps that I felt were up to the task sonically, Spectral and Symphonic Line. Each gave a differing perspective, but certainly top tier. Only the best OTLs outperformed them, but with much greater headaches. Good luck.
Best high current SS Mono amps
I am searching for the best SS amp for 4 ohm electrostat speakers. I would consider tube monos, but I just can not take any buzzing or humming those tube amps have from time to time. I have a very quiet room and often play at low volumes.
Please help me out with your thoughts. I have spent a lot of time on the archives and I just can't tell what to buy. I would like to spend no more than 11,000 used on some balanced monoblocks with high current.
If there is a dead quiet tube amp that fits the bill, please mention it.
