Planar speaker that don't require herculean amp?

I'm looking for a planar electrostatic or ribbon speaker, but they all seem to require gobs of power. I am currently using AES Sixpac tube amps with KT66 tubes, which have about 35 RMS watts each or so. I don't have to worry about low bass, as I am using a pair of Entec powered subwoofers. I listen to many types of music, but don't need incredible high SPL levels. Are there any planar speakers out there (preferably used) that can work well with my tube amps?

We have a guy at the Apogee speaker users forum that (I think?) is using the sixpacks with his Caliper Signatures. I may be able to put you in touch with him.

I have Apogee Duetta Signatures and have just bought Rogue 120 monos to try on them...I don't have the amps yet so no report to give.

Apogee Stage should work quite well for you...not all Apogees are Scintillas.

Here is a link to a post our forum member (jaragaki) made regarding his new sixpacks and Calipers.

I'm sure that you could also email him with any questions you may have.
