RE: Luxman and original Quads a good combo?

I'm sure this amp would be stable into the ESL-57's weird load. Almost any modern solid state amp of any quality is OK with the ESL. Wayne Piquet of Quads Unlimited found great success with NAD "monitor series" power amps from the 1980's, and he is considered to be one of the foremost Quad ESL experts.

**HOWEVER**

The Luxman amp you are looking at has A LOT of power. Originally it was suggested not to use the Quad ESL with anything over 15 watts. It is very easy to artc / destroy a tweeter panel in the Quad ESL unless you have an aftermarket zener protection circuit installed.

Science doesn't care what you believe.
