Cary 805c and Quad ESL-63 Combination?

Has anyone tried using Cary 805c's with Quad ESL-63's? How does that combo sound? Do the amps have enough power for the speakers? I am thinking of upgrading from Cary SLM-100's. Any help is greatly appreciated.

ps. If anyone has any other suggestions for amps that work well with quads, I would appreciate the recommendation.

Thanks.

I had Cary 805B's on US Monitors for @ 5 yrs. Very good match. NBS spkr cable sounded great between them.

Hi,

If the Quads are the speaker you will be using then the 805C should be no problem at all. Quads only like to see about 50 to 100 watts and the 805C is a big 50 watts compared to similar solid state amp.

The Pass Aleph series work well with the 63s. I use the Aleph 5 to good effect. I listen primarly to classical and adult rock. I use Nordost Flatline cable. I have tried many other solid state and tube amps but have settled on the Pass.
