Best amplifier for original QUAD ESLs?

Audio Note P2SE. 18 watts single ended, class A power. Mentioned in Listener article regarding the availability of the new "original" quads. Will play the 63s in a smallish room but somewhat limited in dynamics.

Well since I own Original Quads and I'm a dealer for Sound Lab electrostats, I've had a chance to try a fair number of amplifiers with the Originals. The only solid state amp I've really liked with them is the Chord from England. Quite musical. The little 40-watt Clayton is also a strong possibility - it sounds very good driving the 63's. In tube amps, Atma-Sphere M-60's are magical in the mids but can be a touch loose in the bass. The larger models have no trouble. The little Berning ZH-270 is also very nice all around, and works quite well with the 63's also. A friend of mine builds custom 845-based SET's that are extremely sweet with the ESL's. The best I've heard them is driven by Thor 30-watt monoblocks, but that's a ten grand pair of amps. David Magnan, of Magnan Cables, uses stacked Original Quads as his reference system, driven by highly modified Atma-Sphere M-60's. I sell two of the amplifier brands mentioned.

Just inserted a Pass 5 and as of now that is the best amp I have tried, it puts out a safe 30 volts peak.
