I have owned electrostats for around 12 years and found they all like lot's of power, they DONT do well with entry level high power amps. I have Martin Logan Ascents and driving them with two Classe 25 power amps in mono about 1000 watts per channel and sounds great. If you choose tube amps check out Audio Research, VTLboth sound very nice. GOOD LUCK
What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers
Is it wpc, high current, both or what? I've been aud-itioning amps with the Final Electrostatic 0.3's (86 db sensitivity). The manufacturer suggests a minimum of 50 wpc to get them going. So far, I've tried a Nakamichi Stasis (150wpc) and an Electrocompaniet AW250DMB(250 wpc).With both,the speakers sounded dull, yet the Parasound HCA 3500 (250wpc & high current)made them sing sweet as can be.
Could somebody be kind enought to explain to me how this stuff works. I need to purchase an amp to drive the Final 0.4's (the big brother to the 0.3's). I'd love to know what
to look for.
