OTL Tube Amps and Full Range Electrostatic Speakers


I have Martin Logan CLX speakers which have a nasty impedance curve in the treble with a minimum of 0.7 ohms at  about 18 to 20 kHz - or so I have read.  The impedance of the CLX is, as many know, largely capacitive.  Over the years I have preferred tube amps and have heard OTL amps driving various Quad speakers with great results.  My own experience with the CLX's has been more positive with high quality solid state amps; I am currently using a Krell 402e which has no trouble driving this speaker well.  An ARC Ref 150 did not provide the control, particularly in the treble, which this speaker needs and did not provide the level of transparency which this speaker can provide.  I would appreciate hearing if anyone has experience with other tube amps with the CLX's or Sound Labs, particularly OTL's and whether autoformers provided a significant benefit.  Thanks for any insights.

Power increases into lower impedances!

One thing about ESLs is their impedance curve is not also a map of its efficiency, like it is for most box speakers.
Instead, its impedance curve is a result of being largely a capacitor. For this reason, what is desired is the ability to put out constant power over the range of impedances presented by the speaker rather than constant voltage (which results in increased power into lower impedances per the quote above). Of course, no amplifier really does make constant power but they can come pretty close, especially if assisted by a set of ZEROs (www.zeroimpedance.com) since any tube amp that is designed to make constant power (like ours are) will tend to have a higher output impedance.

Ralph, would the solid state McIntosh amplifiers with autoformers qualify as constant power sources? Their specs indicate the same power from any of the speakers taps, e.g., 2, 4, or 8 ohm, but with different levels for the output impedance. If so, that might explain the general tendency to pair these amplifiers with Martin Logan ESLs. My MC2200 model does seem to do quite well with my ML Aerius i.

Damn @kalali, can that be right? $13,000/pr is a lotta dough! I guess I assumed the $6500 quote was for a pair, but it appears you are correct. Looks like I won't be buying a set!
