Hattor Ultimate Power Amplifiers


I am wondering if anyone has tried Hattor Ultimate Power Amplifiers? I am currently driving Martin Logan ESL X speakers with a pair of Nuprime STA 9s as mono blocks. I am happy mostly with the soundstage and detail I am getting,  but I am experiencing a little harshness at very high volume and I am wondering if next level class d will afford more musicality and punch. Anyone with experience going up the food chain in class D amplifiers have any insight on this? Thanks,  Tom

Khozmo (mostly) passive preamp
STA 9 monoblocks

mijostyn nails it again. Class D is not an optimum match for electrostatics. It may "drive" them fine, but if you care about quality of sound, just say no.
