Innersound ESLs Amplifier

You may also want to take a look at the Llano Design Trinity 200 amp. List price is $2,995. It's a pure Class A hybrid amp (tube voltage amplification with MOSFET current delivery) that delivers 200 watts in 8 ohms, 400 watts into 4 ohms, and 800 watts into 2 ohms. A very stable, musical amp that's excellent for hard-to-drive planar speakers. See www.llanodesign.com.

Listen to tubes if you have a chance. You should definitely try to audition some tube amps before you buy. I used a Hafler DH500 to power my requests and although I had power and bass control to spare when I put in the CJ premier 11a I got MUSIC!!! Loss of bass control, yes, less dynamic range, yes. Better Sound, Definitely YES. In my experience Logans sound best with tubes. Happy listening

Lets put it this way, just recently I sold my Krell amp that doubles its load down to 1 ohm for a whopping 1600 watts per channel. Upon installing the Innersound, cold dead out of the box it literally blew the Krell out of the water in every way. Musicality, bass, high frequency extension, transparency, effortlessness, soundstage you name it. I would never have believed it had I not heard it but it was there in spades. To take it a step further a friend was over who has Krell 650 MB's and he and I both thought the Innersound was more comparable to a 600 FPB or at least 350 MB's. This amp is a ridiculously good deal. To answer your question there are no other amps that I know of that are designed specifically to drive electrostatics like this.

Bottom line go for it. You have nothing to loose as he has a 30 trial offer and will pay for return shipping if you don't like it, if memory serves me correct.

I "second" the Llano Trinity 200.

I sold my Innersound ESL (which is a darn great amp) to buy a Trinity 400 for my Logan Oyssey's.

That should tell you something.

Good luck!

Thank you all.

I don't want to go with tubes or hibrid. I like to listen to music very loud and with deep bass (that's where my Velodyne helps the ML). Another thing, I'm in Brazil, so I'm unable to have tube service down here. I think SS is the way to go for me.

Maybe the Innersound really is my best choice.
