As a matter of fact about 3 or 4 times a week in the different forums this very question is asked and I use my set amps on my martin logan monoliths biamped of course but I also biamp my PP amps to.
Electrostatic speakers have become much easier to drive today because of hybrid designs and the transformers have a lot more output and the panels have closer stators increasing efficiency.
Naz does this and I do this to and when I run my logans is no beaming with the set amps whatsoever.I dont have much beaming to start with having wide panels but it definitely has a wider sweet spot with the set amps and on the quads they are a match made in heaven.
Another thing about SET DHT amps is they are not nearly as sensative to back emf as say an el34 pp amp is.That helps the effects of the impeadance change to where you dont lose the high end.
