Class D Amp For 'Stats?


For a number of reasons, I am considering the purchase of a Class D amp (or amps) to drive my Sound Lab A-1s. Most uses of such amps detailed here and elsewhere seem to have been with 'conventional' speakers, which obviously present very different impedance loads than a full range electrostatic (approximately 40 ohms in the bass, dropping to 2 ohms at the highest frequencies). I would be most interested to hear of members' experiences.

I cannot imagine why you would want a Class D amp? Most class D use large amounts of Feedback to deal with transient response. I have not heard a Class D amp that does not sound mechanical except for subs, this is the one acceptable use that I can think of. What type of music do you listen to?
Hi, Check out the Bryston 4BSt or SST. They were designed to drive the hardest speakers I can think of, the Dayton Wright gas filled electrostatics. I've heard these amps on Audiostatics { which I own} and Quad 63's and even Quad 57's and the amp just cruises and sounds great.
Never mind Distephenson. Either he has limited experience with this new genre, or an inhospitable system hindering their proper function.
