A tube amp that works well with Martin Logan speakers is the Music Reference RM-200. It was designed to handle loads down to 1 ohm.
MartinLogans and Cary CAD-805s / electrostats and SET amps
Hello, Audiogon!
I have a pair of MartinLogan Montis speakers that are currently powered by a pair of vintage Denon monoblocks. I have an opportunity to pickup a pair of Cary CAD-805s at a great price. Does anyone have experience/have auditioned such combo? If not, what about generally speaking electrostats powered by SET amps? Montis are rated @ 91db as far as sensitivity goes, so powerwise 50W will go a long way, but what about the sound/presentation? Thanks!
