Driving M-L Requests


I just purchased a pair of Martin-Logan Requests with a Rel Stadium III and I'm hoping to make an informed decision about which way to go (ss or tube). I'm running a McIntosh MC352 currently but don't feel this is the right amp for electrostatics. I'm leaning towards Plinius(SA102) but would love to hear your opinions for direction. Pre-amp is Cary SLP2002. Initially I'm looking for something +/- $5000.00. Thanks for help.

I use a 200 watt Meridian amp(8 Ohm) for my SL's coupled with a Martin-Logan Descent Subwoofer. The Meridian puts out 340 watts in 4 ohm and goes below 2ohm at peaks. The Meridian 557 Power Amp is a sleeper and overlooked by the audio industry IMHO. New about $2700 used about $1-1300. Steve
