   > 6.  A good solid state amp can easily drive two ESL57s in parallel -  the

   ** FYI:  The Quad 306 is a very compact power amp of 50 wpc at 8ohms.

   It's a "current dumping" design, the PSU has no hard CT and the op-amp is   
   only for offset correction.   
      
   Internal construction is unpretentious, to say the least.   
      
   THD is low and hard to measure and there are no vices.   
      
   Used examples go for A$300 to A$400.
