I had a less positive experience combining 805c's and ESL-63s. I run mine biamped with Vandersteen 2wq subs, but the issue I encountered was more with the treble. It seemed very dead on top. I love 805c amps (I've heard them on other systems) and I really love Quad ESL-63s, but together they did not work for me. I assumed it was some sort of impedance issue with the electrostatics, but if others have found positive results, maybe it was something else. Just thought I would share my experience. I will not sell my Quads so I reluctantly traded 805c's to a friend for VTL amps that sound fantastic with my setup. I will always have a warm place in my heart for those Cary's though... so nice.
Cary 805c and Quad ESL-63 Combination?
Has anyone tried using Cary 805c's with Quad ESL-63's? How does that combo sound? Do the amps have enough power for the speakers? I am thinking of upgrading from Cary SLM-100's. Any help is greatly appreciated.
ps. If anyone has any other suggestions for amps that work well with quads, I would appreciate the recommendation.
Thanks.
