Innersound ESLs Amplifier

Buy it.

Carver Silver 7-t or 9-t will be vary good too. Designed to handle very difficult load. Very tube like sound. Used to be my summer amp. Runs cool and very efficient.

I'm driving my Martin Logan CLS IIz's with two Innersound ESL Monoblocks. They are outstanding. Roger Sanders at Innersound in very helpful in setting up a great system.

You may also want to take a look at the Llano Design Trinity 200 amp. List price is $2,995. It's a pure Class A hybrid amp (tube voltage amplification with MOSFET current delivery) that delivers 200 watts in 8 ohms, 400 watts into 4 ohms, and 800 watts into 2 ohms. A very stable, musical amp that's excellent for hard-to-drive planar speakers. See www.llanodesign.com.

Listen to tubes if you have a chance. You should definitely try to audition some tube amps before you buy. I used a Hafler DH500 to power my requests and although I had power and bass control to spare when I put in the CJ premier 11a I got MUSIC!!! Loss of bass control, yes, less dynamic range, yes. Better Sound, Definitely YES. In my experience Logans sound best with tubes. Happy listening
