What is a good amp for the Monolith II that doesn't cost a fortune. Before I had an Aragon 2004 for each speaker and it still seemed like it wasn't powerful enough. They would get very hot and seemed like they were struggling to power the Monoliths.
Try to find a used Innersound ESL amp. These are made specifically to run electrostatic loudspeakers. You could by a new Sanders ESL amp, (same as Innersound, but updated).
The Aragon amps seemed like they were struggling because they were. I'm surprised they didn't blow up. Audio Research M-300 monos work wonders on the Monoliths, but you could probably get by with 100 tube watts depending on the size of your room.
Try a Behringer EP1500.I use one with CLSs with amazing success.Don't use a preamp-connect the source directly and use the pots on the EP1500,which are os surprisingly good quality.
