"If you combine that with an amplifier that can double power as George suggests, the result is brightness"
Popycock Ralph, it is the opposite with not only with ML ESL's but others as well and you get dullness with an amp that can't keep "keep it up" current wise.
Why then advocate the use the Zero as a bandaid fix with your amps on these sort of speakers when getting the right amp is clearly obvious, even a rare tube amp with output taps of 1ohm 2ohm that Clio posted designed to drive this sort of load.
Just listen or read the reviews of ESL's with upper range impedances like the OP's ML Ethos speakers have when driven with amps that "can't get it up" (current wise), dullness or similar are the words used all to often.
Cheers George
