    Sanders Sound Amp for Quads

    I’m intrigued by this amp as Roger Sanders designed it with electrostatic speakers in mind. I have restored 57’s. The consensus seems to be the Quads sing best with tube amps. Has anyone tried this amp? Would love your thoughts/opinions.

    Everything that I've heard about these amps is that they're incredibly dynamic, but that they sound a bit analytical and dry in the highs. Of course everything's relative, but I wouldn't expect them to sound very similar to tubes.

    over on the Martin Logan forum they have a strong following and with a fair number of folks pairing them with tube pre's it could very well be your ticket to 'sonic bliss' !

    Owned the stereo & the mono blocks on 20.7's. I wont be going back there & I think for the money there are better available.

    I've heard QUAD speakers really sing with David Berning ZOTL amplifiers.

    I've owned a number of Roger Sanders amplifiers and love the power amplifiers but don't think they are the best match for QUADS.

    Thanks. Do you think that little Sudgen integrated which puts out around 25 wpc in Class A would be enough power for the Quads?
