Sonus Faber Elipsa SE's. Wow...what a combo that would be.

uhh...definitely not Planar speakers. I've owned 4 pairs of Planars and they love power.

I have 2 MC 275 mkV. I use them in mono configuration to drive the top end of my Infinity RS-1B's. Plenty of power in my 16 X 26 room.

For over 20 years I ran a pair of Mac MC 275 Gordon Gow Commemorative Edition amps strapped in mono into a pair of Martin-Logan Quests, a hybrid electrostatic with a 48” x 18” ‘stat panel and a 12” woofer in a sealed enclosure.  Room was 16’ x 22’ with a vaulted ceiling.  No problem whatsoever ever in driving that difficult load and the sound was glorious.  FWIW,  I was only on my second set of output tubes when I moved and sold the system, and they still met spec.

I have recently been introduced to Odeon Speakers. The experiencing them in a Room Dimension approx' 18' x 27' powered by EAR Power Amplification has been something special.

These are proving themselves as very attractive alternative Speakers to the resident Quad ESL 2912.

I checked the Opera Home Site and a USA Dealer is:
