Sanders 10B Electrostatic

I heard the Sanders speaker at this years T.H.E. Show in Irvine, and I've been lusting for a pair ever since---I loved 'em! With Sanders, Ralph Karsten, and Roger Modjeski, you have three very good designers, each of whom will give you a different opinion on an amp suitable for driving them. Sanders can be ruled out for your friend Albert, as he's a SS man. Karsten will of course recommend one of his amps (nothing wrong with that!). As for Modjeski, in his Forum he wrote that the common wisdom of an OTL being a good match with electrostatic loudspeakers is, in actuality, incorrect. Roger has designed OTL's (a really good one manufactured and marketed by Counterpoint in the 80's), and will build you one now. However, he points out that the interaction of the impedance load of an ESL with the high output impedance of an OTL amp makes them very much incompatible. That the legendary pairing of the original Quad with a Futterman or NYAL amp produced wildly inaccurate frequency response, as well as ringing and instability in the amp. I'll bet one reason Sanders would recommend a SS amp is, for one thing, precisely because of their generally low output impedance.
