[QUOTE="Moonraker, post: 1090751, member: 24248"] Off topic: I don't see why not. The electrostatics require a push-pull drive, I believe. Driving them basically off the anodes of the PP output stage should be possible. With some fine tuning to make things safe and stable of course. Imagine the original Quad2 driving electrostats, as intended. The amplifier OT steps down the impedance down to the level of typical electrodynamic LS. And the loudspeaker's transformer reverses the impedance ratio again. Kind of a waste... and distortion! [/QUOTE]
