RE: Question for original Quad ESL owners.... EL84 or EL-34

I'll add my $.02. I use an el84 amp a friend built for me for my ESLs and I enjoy it very much. That said, I am convinced that the tube type has less to do with amp sound than the quality of the output transformer and how it matches the Quads. I also have an Audio Research D-51--my first "high end" amplifier--which uses 6550s. I much prefer the el84 amp.

I'll add my $.01. For some speakers, including I expect the Quads, the best output transformer is no output transformer.
