Using Martin Logan speakers with tube amps??Any experiences??

Vantages with McIntosh 275 ,very nice

I owned ML SL3s, tubes wouldn't cut it and I went with a high powered SS amp.....BAT VK500....it was a good combo

The Music Reference RM-200 Mk.2 is designed to work into low impedance loads. 100w/ch into 8 and 4 ohms. The amp has low output impedance (for a tube design), so no loss of bass or treble (depending on where the speaker exhibits very low or high impedance).

I was an electrostatic fan for years. The last pair I owned was the Martin Logan Aries-i speakers and drove them with an ARC Classic 60. They played fine ... but I really didn't like the speakers.  I found them non-involving musically and they didn't move enough air. I sold them at a profit and bought a used pair of Legacy Signature III's and never looked back.

Asking a bit much of the AR which only gives max 50w from the 4ohm tap at already 1% distortion, to do both the ML’s ESL panel and bass as well!!
My guess it would have been a different outcome, to horizontal Bi-Amp’d the Aries with a cheap 100w Class-D on the bass section.
