In Reply to: VTL st 150 with Shahinian Obelisk - any thoughts? posted by BenE on August 6, 2014 at 08:29:15:
I use VTL MB-450s with Sound Lab U-1s. They are essentially mono versions of the ST-150 with double the output. The U-1s, like most full range electrostats, offer a challenging reactive load that takes a nose dive in impedance at the top. I've been using them with this and another electrostat for over ten years. VTL uses good iron in their trannies. I find they match well.
From what I find on the Shahinian site, the Obelisk is nominally rated at 6 ohms and uses conventional dynamic drivers. You might check with Shahinian.
