Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57?

This may not answer the OP's question, but I decided to have my long neglected Quad ESLs ('57s) restored along with my long unused Quad II amps. This is not intended to be my "main" system, but one I can enjoy in the house as a vintage set up, appreciating that the 57s do certain things extremely well within their obvious limits. Back in the day, I was never very successful at mating the '57s with subwoofers, and though I know things have improved on the subwoofer front, I'm not sure I'm going to try--at least on certain types of material, the old Quad can be spooky real.  I guess that means I'm not playing Black Sabbath at full tilt, but life is full of compromises. :) 

@ct0517  Hi, Chris- not set up yet, not even restored yet. Will be sending the speakers to Kent, in the mid-West, hopefully within a week. We are moving out of our current house in NY and I thought this would be a good time to send stuff out for restoration rather than simply put it into storage. Oh, and we haven't yet bought another place to live, so it may be a few months till I can share some pictures. The Quad Its will be getting restored in Virginia, and I'll probably drop them off there, along with my old SP-10 table, for rehab. Our plan is to visit some friends in Nashville and Memphis, perhaps in NOLA, and eventually make our way to Austin, where I split time. That's where we will eventually relocate on a more permanent basis. 
The Black Sabbath- it does get a little play here. It was my introduction to Vertigo Swirl and once I got bitten by that bug, I started to explore the wonders of that catalog. 
Horses for courses. A little Janos Starker on the Quads could be heaven. Happy to post some pics once that system is set up. 

I wonder, just out of curiosity, what it would take to resuscitate a pair of those old Mark Levinson ML 2 amps. After all these years, they gotta have needs- are the parts unobtanium? I know Charlie King found a stash of some old ML parts at one point that he used to Frankenstein some tape preamps.
If I didn’t already have the Quad II amps, I’d probably be interested in exploring other options. I did get to meet Peter Walker back in the day--he was pleasant to talk to- I was pretty young, but he was polite and tolerated my questions.
In some ways, reviving this old gear is more interesting than buying current high end stuff off the shelf--I think my expectations are different, and there is something satisfying about getting a commanding musical performance out of an antique. I haven’t settled on a preamp yet for this "funk" system, but the McI MX 110z seems to ring a lot of bells- a bit of a sleeper since it isn’t a purist preamp only; has an FM tuner that could be a kick to use for a household system and looks like the build quality is stupendous. (Sympathetic restoration would be required as would a little tube rolling).
As to multiple systems being a cheap substitute for an uber system, I have yet to hear any system --at any price- that didn’t have some area where the illusion collapsed. Again, I think it goes back to expectations- you can get a hell of a lot of musical enjoyment out of older gear if you don’t expect it to do everything well. And, I might just be surprised- one pretty well known guru of old Quads told me I might find myself spending more time listening to this system than my "main" system--
I’m certainly open to that possibility. I’m a gear head for sure, but I’d really rather spend the money on records at this point in my life than constantly search for the latest and greatest. These last few years have been very gratifying for precisely that reason- my main system was pretty well dialed in, I knew what it could and couldn’t do, and focused on buying records. Now everything is packed and crated. The movers arrive in a few hours. Yay! :)

kalali- i don't know what is on offer, but keep in mind that most of the original Quads do need some work, whether it is sympathetic restoration, repairing or replacing panels or both- you have to factor that in, unless the pair you are looking at have already been redone by a reputable restorer and not abused since. Kent McCollum of Electrostat Solutions is the person I'm having restore my old Quad loudspeaker. There was a double pair restored by him that a friend recently pointed me to for sale here, but that takes it to a whole other level....

bdp- Pearson also waxed over the maggie bass panels with the Crosby Quad 63. For one issue or so. And then he moved on. What always killed me about The Absolute Sound in the glory days was the promise of a follow up after a sneak preview, which never happened. I used to read those things religiously back in the day, along with an assortment of other stuff, Montcrieff, etc. 

I ran Decca ribbons with my Quads and a small sub back in the early-mid '80s- could never get the thing to cohere completely, but as my late audio friend, Chuck Lamonica said, "You could kiss every note." 
I still have the Deccas--also in need of a restoration, but lower on my list. (I used Sequerra ribbons at one point too, and was able to talk to Dick S. to get replacement ribbons from him. He was very kind).
The history behind this stuff is fascinating, as is the ability of equipment now 60+ years old to deliver a level of quality that in some ways, has not been duplicated.
