ps seing your guide to electronics, very good indeed, I wondered if
you'd seen the post about a Gainclone driving ESL's?

I read some of the thread on gainclones, but can't recall seeing that
posting.

One of the oddity's at that HiFi show was a 5 Watt chip amp driving a
pair of ESL's, didn't sound too bad either.

The later models of 63 and the 988 aren't particularly 'difficult' loads if
you only want low sound levels. I spent some time many years ago monitoring
the power/voltage levels I used when listening. The result was somewhat
ironic in that I was being employed to develop a 200Wpc amp, but would have
been quite happy with a 25Wpc one. :-) 5W seems a bit on the 'mean' side,
though...

Slainte,

Jim
