Hi Dear  Fellows

Any of you have experienced using Martin Logan speakers with based tube amps?I have a pair of cary cad 805ae monoblock amps, wich are pure class A, 50 watts per channel.What do you think?.....Are they powerfull enough to drive,  for instance ,Martin Logan Aerius, Stylos etc.Many thanks for your advices.
Thanks in advance!

I know of several cases where switching to solid state was the solution.


It depends on your overall tastes, of course, but in general, that giant capacitor called an ESL speaker makes it common to see less than stellar amps droop in the top octaves and loose overall punch.


The more common combination is tube pre with solid state amps, but YMMV, and there are always exceptions to the rule.
