Default ESL57 - a difficult load?

Probably the output transistors would go short circuit followed by the
fuse(s) blowing. However, there wouldn't be much chance of this in practice
unless you drive the amp with a square wave at high power. Also, it's
probably OK with Quad ESLs as according to this link
http://user.tninet.se/~vhw129w/mt_au...uad_repair.htm they're only
568pF capacitance.

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?
