Ribbons or electrostatic speakers with SS Amp?


I have been advised by Pass lab to avoid ribbons or electrostatic speakers with SS amp (XA 30.5). Any of you folks have any experience using these speakers with SS amps? Thanks.

I tried a XA30.5 on my Martin Logan CLSIIA's and it sounded great, however, no where near the power that I needed. I do have a bigger room and listen a little loud, (but not overly so).

I also tried a pair of the XA60.5 monos and still I thought that it wasn't enough.

The XA100.5s or the XA160.5s would have been perfect, but I didn't have that kind of money.

I know of quite a few people that use the PASS XA series amps on Martin Logan.
