Mix and match highs and lows
That’s great. The Von Schweikert s have a built in crossover. I could do as you say . Two quality pieces . They are both 4 ohms. May be worth a try! ThankYou 
Info req: Quad Classic II int or Manley Stingray 2
I ran a pair of Quad ESL 57,’s off the first generation Manley Stingray. Smooth as silk. It was a perfect match, the room was 12x24. TherseTing area was 14 ft away with log walls. 
Could they sell a high-end amp without the fancy
Check out Digital Amplifier Company. Very high end minimalist in nature. 
Class-D or switching amps, any opinions on??
I use a Digital Amplifier Company "Cherry" amp. Check the web site for details. It has powered my Ohm mk5 IIs and my Apogee Caliper Sigs. Very powerful, clear and no lack of lows. I highly recommend it.

Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker
I owned a pair of Ohm 5 mkII's and like them alot. They were a tad large for my room and the best sound was a tad higher than the sittting area. Now that could be because I am 5'7" not 6'. They handled everything I sent there way. They had a non t...

Subwoofer and tweeter for Quads
Had a pair of Quad ESL 57's. Tried REL Stadium III, Martin Logan Dynamo, Snell and M& K subs. No question the REL was the best match. Fast and easily adjustable so as not to overlap into the Quad range. I agree with Duke on the multiple sub te... 
Very Compact Subwoofer
The Von Schweikert vs-1 is a tad larger than 13". It is a great sub. Easy to set up, solid, phases well with electrostatics as well as regular speakers. Better than Martin Logan dynamo, snell, m&k and comparable to REL. IMHO.

Amp or cd player to pair with the Apogee Stage ?
I power my Stages with a DAC4800A 350wpc (digitalamp.com). The Source is a Shanling t200 sacd. I enjoy the sound greatly. Using the tubes (westinghouse upgrades0 renders the sound a bit softer/smoother. The ss output is crisper and sharp. I enjoy ... 
Amp for Quad ESL 57
I tried 3 different tube amps and a ss unit. The best I found to power my Quad ESL 57's was the Cary SLAM 100 monoblocks. They ar 90wpc triode. Very warm and powerful enough for complicated passages. I tried Conrad Johnson, Manley and liked the Ca... 
Bel Canto Pre3 vs Musical Fidelity A308CR
I have the pre3 and am very happy. It is versatil with many pieces of equipment. It does not color the sound. My tube or ss sources are able to play there sound. Great preamp.
