Default ESL57 - a difficult load?

I rescued a Rotel RA930AX amp from the junk shop.
The manual says:
"Do not use speakers that have a very high capacitive load,
say over 0.1 microfarads, as it may cause a damage to the
power amplifier section."

So I shan't be connecting it to my ESLs.
Any idea what would happen?


**Actually, you're likely to experience fewer problems with the Rotel,
than with most other amps. I am a Rotel service agent and part of the
testing procedure I use on ALL amps (except Naim of course) is to connect
a 1uF cap across the load, to check for instability issues. Rotels do not
exhibit problems.


**Typo alert! Sorry. That would be a 0.1uF cap.
