Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?

One of the experiences that "hooked" me into high end audio was the day I walked into a stereo store in Sherman Oaks, Calif. and heard John Coltrane's tenor sax flowing out of a side room. I asked the guy at the counter who was playing the sax?  He laughed and said: "Oh that's just the FM jazz station playing though a pair of Quad 57's."  He took me into the room and sure enough, no live sax there. Just a pair of Quad's, and all Quad solid state electronics.  It was the Quad 33 amp, the Quad 33 preamp, the Quad FM-3. All miniature in stature but glorious in sound.   

If I had an extra room where I could fit a vintage system, I'd most likely go with the above.
