Is my YBA amp enough to run Martin Logan Vistas?


Hello;

I have a YBA 2 (Dual Mono) Pre and a YBA 2 Power Amp.

I am looking to get into a pair of Martin Logan Vistas. The YBA is exposing my Monitor Audio Silver loudspeakers, and both my Fiance and I loved the Vistas we heard at the local shop.

My only concern is Electrostats demand high power...

Any advice would be welcomed.

That is not actually true, it depends on the speaker. Quads, for example,can be overdriven by too much power. Many electrostatics present a difficult load ; often in the high end. The ML hybrids my friend use to have went down under two ohms in the top end [1.8 to be exact]. If the ML you are talking about has a similar impedance curve then you need to see if your amp is happy with this kind of a load.
