What amp do you use with your QUAD'S?

I have a Bedini 15/15 specialy dsigned for Quads [1 of only 3 ever made] it is the perfect match. The problem is I sold the Quads.

When I had my ESL 988s, I used 3 permutation of Mac MC-225s wired for monoblock mode or a HK Citation II. I did use one MC-225 as well but found that the 30+/- wpc wasn't enough for an 86db efficient speaker in the size room I had.

BTW, all these amps have been gone through and had all out of spec components replaced. It is a complete toss-up as to which amp is better, IMHO. They both made the 988s sing and I was happy with both setups. Its unfortunate that I had to sell the Quads, though.....I still have the amps.

Cheers,

As a starting point you may wish to check these two websites out:

FWIW, I drive my Quad ESL-989s which I believe are each the equivalent of two ESL-63s quite happily with a Conrad-Johnson Premier 140 amp.

Good luck in your search.

I started with an Audio Research CA-50 with Quad ESL-63's. Upgraded to Cary SLM-100's and finally to a Cary 805c's. All worked very well. Only the Audio Research seemed like it needed a few more watts to properly drive the Quads.
