"
They need about 15 Watts of the best amplification you can get your hands on."
" The Quads will play up to about 100 dB, which is much louder than I play music even when playing loudly. "
" The second downside is that they are a difficult load for the amplifier to drive. They are highly reactive loads (primarily capacitive). Their impedance drops as the frequency increases. This makes the Quad ESL a bad choice for single ended tube (SET) amplifiers. "
I think I can figure out why this guy isn't an authority, desperate or not.
