Will Sonic Impact T amp work w/ original Quad ESL?


Does anyone know if I can use a T amp with original Quads or will I destroy it trying? Thanks for any help.

Quad panels in good condition require 33 watts to arc and cause permanent damage to themselves. Sonic Impact T amps do not swing nearly this amount of power.

The original Quad ESL has an extreme wide modulus of impeadance: 2-32 ohm. Look at the Tripath's output impeadance curves to see how it does with this kind of demand.

Or, try the combo and let us know how it sounds. It may destroy the amp or put it into protection mode (I believe that the tripath protects itself).
