The right amp is what makes for bass on a Sound Lab. Generally speaking, transistors are not a good match. The reason is the Sound Lab, like most other ESLs, has a 10:1 change in impedance over its range, and is over 30 ohms in the bass, making it hard for transistor amps to make power, and it does need the power."
Every time I heard Soundlab speakers it was with SS amps. Even at CES, Soundlab used SS amps in their own room.
