| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? Hi Clio09 - the bass impedance hump at 100 hz can be managed by modified placement in the room, especially when it is a fairly large room. See pic 41 on my virtual system. It is roughly 20 x 24 with stairs going up at the back end. I could neve... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? Clio09In my setup I use a Luxman M-02 on the bottom and either the M-60s or RM-10 on the top. Instead of modding the Luxman to house the crossover I bought a used Beveridge RM-3 (designed by Roger) and made my own low pass and high pass cards (Rog... | |

| B&W 801M vs. 801 Series 2, etc Before Series 2 came out there were the series 80 models and a few other letters like the 801F and 801M.confusing :^( If the "801m" has a front port, and is bi-wire capable - I am willing to bet it’s the same as a Series 2 and this is a B&W ma... | |

| B&W 801M vs. 801 Series 2, etc I know there is the 801 series 80 (non-Matrix), 801 series 2, and 801 series 3, both Matrix. I'm guessing the 801M must be essential 801 series 1? Hi dastro It can get confusing but the label on the back of the speakers reveals the truth. Visual... | |

| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? nyameBut this is the first time I have heard of stacking 3 pairs of Quads. Why stop there ? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/72/13/36/7213361b9e13336a168f4c0d98008eb3.jpgThe funny thing is that when I had my Quads I was never aware, while... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? Hi nyame yeah, I get the fact that the Quad 57 presents a capacitive load. Atmasphere also made this clear earlier. Also I do remember now, similar discussions with the OTL manufacturer who made the 200 wpc OTL amps I was using with my Acoustat... | |

| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? ^^^^^^^^Hi Eric (Bdp24) In followup to your post, U know..... I keep changing music genres lately, more than usual. There really seems to be no rhyme or reason to it all. I can't explain it. I think it is due to stresses from the past holida... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? Right on Whart. Kent is a good guy over at EStat Solutions. I ordered EHT boards from him years ago. Can’t stress enough the importance of the subs here in the overall solution and fwiw, how "estatic" (sic) I am with the ones I chose. I found them... | |
