Which technology is a better match for my Parasound Halo A21?

Hello again.  I am seeking opinioins on which speaker technology might be a better match for my Halo, electrostat, i.e. Martin Logan, or the Maggies?  I am split right down the middel in regards to the speed and transpancy of the stats versus the holographic sound stage of the Maggies.  I have a largish room, and I seldom 'crank em up', so I'm leaning a little, maybe, toward the stats, but the larger sweet spot has a real attraction.  I have the ML Dynamo 700 for a sub, so the low end is less a consideration.  What I'm wondering is the inductive load vs. the resistive load and how it might affect the SS Halo.TIA for you comments.

The Parasound Halo A series is going to do well no matter what you throw at it in terms of modern speakers. They are pretty well constructed, low impedance amps.

I would focus more on your room acoustics and placement.

The only other consideration is they are very neutral to warm amps. If you need extra detail, they won't give it to you.

On the other hand, with ESL's they have plenty of current at the high frequencies to prevent them from sounding dull, like lesser amps might sound.
