If I could afford some SET's capable of driving my esl's I'd already have them.

The guys at Hydrogen Audio amuse me to no end.

It's been my experience that those who worship at the alter of specs usually have the worst most "God awful" sounding systems I've ever heard. They assault ones ears with that "noise" while touting the super low distortion of their electronics. Many of them have the bizarre and mistaken belief that an equalizer can make an inexpensive speaker sound like something much better. Not!
