"High-efficiency electrostatic speakers"??? Is this not an oxymoron? My friend, Mark, who sometimes visits and posts in this form, has gigantic Sound Lab 'stats. He hates SS, and he uses VTL Wotan tube amps to drive them, 1.200W per channel, and it pretty much takes that sort of tube amp to do it. My Marantz SS amps drive them OK, but "efficient" is the last adjective I'd use for them. Also, of FR 'stats I've heard, those that can be driven with mid-power amps run out of steam pretty quick. Mark's will get quite loud, but back to 1,200 WPC...
