Hence my moniker. :)

That speaker has a peak in the bass of about 30 ohms. Since the VTL runs a bit of feedback (tends to act like a voltage source) I would expect it to run a bit bass shy. How do you have your jumpers set?
I also run Acoustat 1+1s in the home theatre system. Again, pics are available by clicking my moniker and following to the galley. I became an instant full range electrostatic fan when I first heard Dr. Cooledge's (JWC of TAS) Dayton-Wrights when I was a teenager. While not perfect, they sounded so "right" on most content. I purchased my first pair of Acoustats when I was 20 in '77.

I heard Brian Walsh's pair driven by a pair of your MA-2s. Sounded perfectly wonderful, but occasionally clipped them on demanding material.

That may well be the case for a Virgil Fox fan. :)
With my previous front end arrangement of GamuT CD-1 direct to amps via attenuators, I was getting flat to 25 hz in room response. When I switched to using a Touch as the player, I lost a few cycles. With my current Sonore µRendu, I sense the bottom octave has been restored. As for me, I find the results completely satisfactory. I need to perform the test again with the current setup.
Here's the third octave plot with the GamuT player:

Jumpers? If you refer to the three rotary controls on the backplate, they are all set to their nominal flat settings.
