| Can 60 triode watts drive Quad ESL 63's? Oh, Good Lord yes. I've got a stacked pair from PK and used a Dynaco from Cleby (35 per side) for about a week. Didn't beat my Audio Valves (which were in the shop, but without too much EQ from my TACT, and staying away from Nugent and Mahler, the... | |

| Nautilus 801 bass/room size amplifiers Cardio:I've had 805, 801 and 802's. In 25 years of high end, with planars, electros, ribbons, and more dynamics than you can shake a stick at, the 801 were the wooliest, hairiest speakers (both with and without flutes, Arcici's, etc.) I ever tried... |
