When I first read/heard that ESLs are hard to drive with SS amps...

...I didn't understand what they meant; I learned what this means this summer.

You may have followed my saga of choosing the right amps for the SoundLabs, so I'll be brief--only TWO amps that I heard sounded at least very good driving my SLs, the Pass X260.8s and finally the BHK600s, and even at this 'at least very good' level, the BHKs were clearly more resolving and more MUSICAL than the Passes.. The Berning Quadrature Zs were in the broad close-but-not-good-enough pool of candidates, along with MANY other otherwise-very-fine amps.. I imagine the Q-Zs would sound very good with magnetic speakersystems.

Pls remember that I'm NOT a quick-hearing GEA, just a slow-hearing musiclover.. Maybe a 'bronze-eared' audiofool?
