Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions
Thanks for all of your responses. I learned a lot. Grannyring I will definitely take your advice. I am going to try the suggested amps until I find one I really like. I was looking at a 600x2 on ebay but it was pulled from the auction. I am also l...

Thanks Atmasphere. I will keep this in mind. It does point out the difference in tube vs ss for driving a varying impedance speaker.

So now I've come full circle. I have a great list of amplifiers I should look into that have been proven to work with Soundlabs. I will restate one of my initial questions. I am less constrained on my A-1s in requiring high voltage on the low end ...

Stringreen,I do have a budget and I chose to spend most of it on the speakers. The speakers that I purchased are twenty years old although they do sound good. They are not current top of the line. I believe that my choice of amplifier is critical ...

Tthomas I did look up the Odyssey mono blocks. The reviews on these amps are quite impressive. I believe they should be able to handle the low impedance load of the Soundlab speakers. The other suggested amps can all provide high voltage excursion...

I don't believe that will work for me as the b-1s does not go much belo.w 30hz. I will play around with the crossover point and do it as low as feasible.

Grannyring,I have read your previous comments on amplifier choices for Soundlabs and they were among those that influenced my direction. I have no doubt that the Innersound or the Sunfire are among the few SS amplifiers within my budget that can d...

There is not a lot of literature on the amp. I did see that there are differences between the original and the mkll. Is one preferable over another.

I will begin my search for an esl-300. Any idea what the price range on these amplifiers should be?

Rrog thanks for the tip on amps designed specifically for electrostats. The tnt amp is an older design. I assume that one can pick one up cheaper than the Innersound. Have you ever compared the two. Does it come close to the Innersound SQ?

I understand the statement of not spending the money and will consider this option. I am a little disappointed. I would assume that there were some excellent sounding amps capable of driving my speakers manufactured in the 1990s and early 2000s th...

Is there a specific model I should be looking for of the Innersound amps? 
Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions
Thanks for the suggestions but these are way over my budget at the moment. I won't be walking into any money soon as I have to put two kids through college. The first just started and the second will be going in a few years. So what I'm proposing ...
