When I had my ESL 988s, I used 3 permutation of Mac MC-225s wired for monoblock mode or a HK Citation II. I did use one MC-225 as well but found that the 30+/- wpc wasn't enough for an 86db efficient speaker in the size room I had.
BTW, all these amps have been gone through and had all out of spec components replaced. It is a complete toss-up as to which amp is better, IMHO. They both made the 988s sing and I was happy with both setups. Its unfortunate that I had to sell the Quads, though.....I still have the amps.
Cheers,
David
