| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Most speakers have "roller coaster" impedance curves, and do just fine with most all tube and SS amps.Do not buy into this "theoretical nit picking" impedance BS. That does not matter much in the "real world" listening experience! | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Without the ZERO’s Ralph’s amps sound poor with 80% of the speakers out in the world!How many people use Zero’s anyway?And those that do not, do just fine IMO!There are lots of tube amps that will sound fine on ML speakers without Zero’s. | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. atmasphere Why do you keep pushing ZERO? Are you PAYED BY THEM?Most all tube amps use output transformers with impedance taps that work just fine into 4 or 6 or even 16 ohms!The Zero is of NO VALUE to most tube amps! |
