Blind listening verses Sighted Listening..good read

Do tell us about your amplifiers and the real world testing you've conducted. Perhaps you can teach Nelson Pass something since he has specifically designed his amplifiers to work with reactive loads for over thirty years.

Anyone on the internet thinks he's an expert.

From his article...

"A massive output stage using 18 transistors makes the amplifier extremely rugged and reliable. It will drive the most difficult (low impedance and reactive) loads without strain or damage, which is why it is ideal for driving electrostatic loudspeakers. "

Thats SS in every sense of the word. No tubes here? Where are you gettign that tube amps are better for electrostatic loudspeakers? Furthermore this article is promoting a very high powered amplifier. You've stated that power wasn't the only factor in driving reactive loads. It turns out that I'm correct after all becuase this is exactly what this article is pushing.

Also, from teh desciption, it sounds like this amplifier is a class D or equivalent amp but not your classic classAB or class A amp.
