Amp or Integrated amp for Quad ESL-63's?

one word of advise ,if you have the extra cash seperates
are better ,you can fit bigger porwe supply , capacitance
and usually a more aggressive circuit.why do you think flag ship models are all seperates.if you have a tight budget you are better off waiting ,or buying quality used gear that match.

If your room is not too big, the Cayin A50 for 1300 new runs Quad USA 63's very well for the price. I am using in a den and it is a very good affordable combination. Clean looks and useable remote are bonuses above and beyond the sound/price level.

Grizzie,
1st - How large is your listening area?
2nd - What type of music do you like?
3rd - How loud does it need to play?
I currently have a pair of ESL 63 being driven by MFA tube gear. My experience is that the Quads are ruthlessly revealing of upstream electronics. I would suggest a MFA Magus or Counterpoint SA 3.1 or 5.1 and an upgraded Dynaco ST 70 if you don't have a large room or need them to play very loud. This should be in your budgetary range.
My $0.02

I have a Forte' 4a (Soderberg mods) on my ESL-57's sounds fantastic.
