What amp do you use with your QUAD'S?

mpcrnc...yeah, but at what cost?;-)

Really at a very little cost. Sonically, the 270 can be adjusted to several tastes. Financially, it was very reasonable as I purchased it before it was a very popular amp. Thanks, mpcrnc.

Trebleclef,
I used to own ESL63USAs and tried them with Cary Rocket 88, and then later with a Berning ZH270. The Berning was the best I've heard with the Quads. Much better than the Cary in most areas of performance. More power than you need. Exceptional clarity across the mid-band.
If you move to a different speaker later, as I did, the Berning gives you lots of options down the road. It is quite exceptional IMHO.
Cheers,
Spencer

Well, I may have to save for one...:-)

Harhau - My take on the 400a being used for driving stats is to do away with the "stacked" output devices and make a bank of simple emitter followers, using however many of the devices you like. Also, from it's output design and how it's integrated with the active bias circuit, it has a rather high open loop output impedance and could probably be lowered for driving stats. Of course, this entails somewhat of a redesign, so would leave that to you. I know of at least one person having used it to drive some acoustats and blowing fuses was a problem when pushed. Since you mentioned you were bringing a 400a back to life, just thought I'd chime in....:)
