I'd like to hear what those of you who own ESLs are using to drive them. I have previously read (on this forum) several votes for using something like a Quad 405 or 606 or 909, but those are pretty thin on the ground around here.
My Innersound Electrostatic amp has been a pretty good match, but is now due for a recap (it's 17 years old). And I recently realized it's probably too powerful for my ESL63s, as it can dump a ton of current through the speakers to the point where the protection circuit is activated. So I'm guessing I need to dial the power back a ways.
This experience has me wondering what others are using and - if you feel like sharing more - help me understand the whys and wherefores. Where else have you been on this journey called Quads and how'd you arrive at your current setup? Anybody using tubes?
Best regards,
Markus
