Thoughts on mating ML ESL 11 A's to a butler TDB 2250 hybrid amp

Looking at the butler TDB 2250 Amp to drive ML ESL 11 a's kinda settled on the Parasound Halo A21 until was pointed in the Butler direction. Any thoughts? Will be using a Linn Majik DSM as source and pre amp.

The Parasound is good you should really save up a bit more and go for a higher class of amplifier with those excellent loudspeakers. What is the budget and the rest of your components?

We didn't find the lower end solid state amps to sound particularlary good they were average sounding amps, at best. The proof is where the company is in the market which is no where. It is perhaps their cheap Chinese implemenation of a good circuit design, we sold Bulter for a few years and then got rid of the line. Persoanlly we would take a pair of Nuprime STA 9 mono blocks at $1,500.00 a pair for 290 watt mono blocks coupled with a good preamp for cheap nirvanah. As we said still love for the OP to save up some additional funds and seek out a really good amplifier, the BAT amps are spectactlar. Some of the Classe amps are also quite good with the ML.
