Has anyone heard the Innersound Electrostatic amp?

Hello all. I'm currently using a Odyssey Stratos amp with my Magnepan 1.6qr's and with good results. I've considered trying the Innersound Electrostatic amp which puts out high voltage and is 1200w/4 ohm! What could I expect if I was to go from 260w to 1200w on the 1.6qr? Thanks in advance for the responses.

Having heard the Innersound amp at Plato's and at an NJ Audio Society meeting with Roger Sanders explaining its workings, I second the above responses. It is well-designed and an excellent amp.

I own two of the Innersound amps, and IMO they are wickedly good, at any price. I've used them with various Acoustats, Innersound Eros, Gallo Nucleus Reference, Martin-Logan CLS IIz, and bought the second amp to biamp Apogee Duetta Signatures with an active crossover. In every case, the sound was superb, and better than (any) other amplifiers I have used with each of these speakers respectively. The amp is practically bulletproof, stable into 1 ohm loads, and never gets hot in operation. The product support offered by Roger Sanders is practically superhuman; this amp deserves to become an audio legend.

Plato could you tell me about your Innersound amp and your associated equipment? Did you compare the Innersound to any other amps and with what results? Thanks!

What difference in sound could I expect between my Odyssey Stratos(260w/4ohm)compared to the innersound esl(600w/4ohm)? Magnepans sound can compress when pushed too hard and wondering if this might happen with the esl amp on the maggies. Anyone using a tube preamp with their Innersound esl amp and with what results?
