QUAD ESL63 and Pass Aleph 5

[355F1]

Chaps,

Has anyone tried an Aleph 5 with ESL63?

Cheers,

I know noting to help you except that I see the Aleph 5 appears to have just 60 watts which is ordinarily too puny for ESLs that require a nominally large wattage rated amp that produces a large voltage.

Update. Folks have tried 'em and even Dynaco Stereo 70s with ESLs. See page one and also post 26 and after:

Krell KSA clone, Aleph J or AMB for Quad 57?

i've had good luck with even EL84 based amps in small rooms with the 63's. You don't need big power. You do need an amp that handles reactive loads well.

I'm using a Naim Nait 5i-2 with 63's in my shop. my 2912's are currently being driven with a Naim uniti atom. when I'm not using that, I use a classe Stereo 60 or a citation II.
