Amps and the ESL 57

Is there an amp that can "truly" drive the ESL's with it's large impedance shifts without distoring? How can the ESL be one of the "best" speakers of all time, or is it, with such low sensitivity and unstable impedance?

Thanks,

Lee

I currently use VTL Tiny Triodes (original version)to drive my ESL 57's with excellent results.

Hvowell, for your answer, see

The ESL57 is a Power Paradigm technology, so look for amps with higher output impedances to drive it.
