I have the good fortune to have a friend who drives M-L 15a Renaissance electrostats with a vintage Audio Research tube amp.  Don't know the model, but has, if memory serves,16 output tubes total.  He can really open those stats up with that amp!  He is in an enormous room with a gabled ceiling.  The combination seems to get rid of the M-L "plasticy" sound all too often heard through mylar diaphragms.  Very open and airy.  Especially fine reproduction of voices. Perfect for him as sung music is his tune of choice.
