Hi iFi,
I been considering a single-ended triode (SET) amp to speaker input of iESL.
Reading iESL user manual, the loudspeaker input is stated as :
"Rating below around 10 Watt/8Ω may not deliver satisfactory playback level"
Does it means that SET amp output of 2.3w RMS into 4Ω or 1.8w into 8Ω is out of equation for iESL Pro?
Keen to try on decware amp but uncertain if it synergise with iESL, thus seeking your advise.
As per our manual, with such amps you may not get sufficiently high volume, thanks!
I'd agree with ifi here. Only a few tube amps would be able to push enough power for the iESL. Decaware is known to have lower power tube amps. Even with a more efficient electrostat you won't get enough volume to listen.
