Best amp for ML Z Quests?

hello Ron, I am a big fan of Levinson and Krell, but I have to warn you not to use it with your Martin Logan. On the other hand, I am not an Audio Research fan, but the only time that I've ever heard "jaw dropping" sound from Logans was with AR. It was with Classic 150 or something. I am not familiar with their models, but it was around $10K for the pair. if you use Krell or levinson, you will be very dissapointed, anyone who tells you otherwise haven't heard the ARs mated with Logans.

I have a pair of ML SL3's. I used to have a Musical Design 140i amp. I purchased a Meridian 557 power amp(200 Watts 8hm and 340 Watts 4hm) I have never looked back. The Meridian is a warm British amp that has been OVERLOOKED by the media.In fact I have upgraded to ALL Meridian front end components!! Steve

I own Quest Z's, have for a long long time now. I've tried various amps with them, so far the best match is a BAT VK-500 with the optional BATPAK. I haven't tried tube amps mostly cuz I don't wanna invest in new tubes on an ongoing basis, the BAT sure does the trick for me. Oh, cables make quite a difference as well; I use (2) Harmonic Technology Pro AC11 power cords and Transparent MusicWave 10' Bi-Wire speaker cables (spades). I'm very happy with the set up, and at $2200 used the BAT is a great value. If you'd like a better understanding of my set up drop me an email and I'll provide more details. Happy listening!

CONRAD JOHNSON Hands down.Solid state,try the PASS AUDIO amps but at least 100 wpc.Good luck.

Steve, I agree with you - Meridian amps are very good from my experience which is showroom only, I've been very impressed every time I hear them. I have always had Meridian digital - they don't seem to put much sales emphasis on their amps. Happy Listening!
