Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms?

That's right Sbrown .. also my friend is getting tremendous bass response at 16 ohms taps but if you take a look at the Quad ESL63 impedance graphic ..

... you are gaining from 0 hertz to 600/700 hertz but you are losing from here to the 15.000 hertz and above
While theoretically with the 4 ohms tap you should gain between 600/700 hertz to the whole rest band expecially in mids and highs area .. the most important to our ears .. and where we have the most important part of musical message.

Because it's useful , if not necessary , to listen and compare your experiences .. Philijolet

Thanks Detlof .. what you wrote is the exact result my friend is getting with 4ohms JA30 setup
I think too the 8ohms setting is the best because stays in the middle .. pratically he won't lose the grip on the low frequencies and won't lose the highs presence

I'm happy for you Philjolet

We are trying the 4ohms taps on the JA30 KT880 monoblocks .. and as Detlof wrote above .. bad registered Cds sound really tiresome with disturbing highs
But apart this the Quad ESL63 sound more open and with unbeliveable largest soundstage than with 16ohms taps just loosing a bith depth
In few words at 4 ohms they are gaining from 500/600 hertz to the audible limit .. while they are loosing a bit the tight low frequencies we got at 16 ohms

Well Guys .. it seems we are in consert to agree the best ohms taps for tube amps paired with Quads ESL63 are the 8ohms.
Now we (me and Opera) are curious to know if you have experiences with OTL amps driving these speakers.
We never listened or tried OTL amps (like Atmasphere) but theoretically .. based on electrical impedance observational .. should be the best choice even over the Tube Amps (not OTL)

What do you think about?

Thanks Stilskin!

You can't believe how much me and Giorgio are curious to try a OTL amp on the Quad ESL63s
Unfortunately we don't have any Atmasphere or Tenor Audio dealer around here to ask for a borrowing :-(

And what about the little new stereo Atmasphere S-30 MKIII .. Stiltskin?
Too little or not enough for the Quads ESL63?
