Any reason to go with anything other than Sanders Magtech for Martin Logan Summit X

MAGTECH is the way to go, 30 day test run from Roger, who is a dream to deal,with.

 Get the Magtech and done !

never look back, only upgrade is the Magtech Monos’.

 Don’t be fooled by imitations, there is only Rogers Sanders Magtech amp for the speakers ur looking for.

thank,yourself post purchase.

I agree.  His amps are incredible. 

Magtech. 100 percent. The only amp designed to follow the crazy impedance swings and capacitive nature of an electrostatic panel.

Not so true with ML ESL's, do a search on SNA for Summits and the Magtech, it had problems blowing fuses when pushed with their loading, which is quite different and more tricky to the Sander ESL's, they even got a different Magtech from the supplier same thing happened.

It is a general rule, but not an absolute rule, to go with solid state amps when using ESLs because of the generally true impedance matching issues.

There are lots of good exceptions though, so it’s not an absolute, just more likely.  You might really want a drop in upper octave output, in which case a high output amp (i.e. tube) will suit your needs.

Personally, give me a nice juicy preamp and a solid state amp with those. :)

Best,
