Are you Irish yet? Nobody waved as we hurtled down from Howth

Not Irish yet. Life keeps getting in the way. The She wants to buy a

Much the same NOT! Mr Drivel!
I may have to kill her and make a rose garden, you will

I would.

You were probably feeling my tweako freako rays from afar, I will
note. I recently made a pair of all-tube power amps from snake oil
capacitors, snake oil resistors, snake oil tube and choke power
supplies, and snake oil stainless steel, hex-head screws. I have now
fallen out with my transistor amplifiers and in love with KT90
bottles. This shift in my audio energy state has produced x-ray-like
tweako flooby dust ripples across the eleven-dimensional audio
continuum, you will note.


No that was not it. There must be a bit of chicken**** in me.

I hope that is not so. What has happened to it?

Been there done that, Mr. Sanderton. Just last week I rafted down the Nile
before climbing up Mount Sinai and I'm in pretty good shape for a man as young

Which Quads?
The original ESL ( 57 ) might do OK, I doubt if the 989 would come to
life with your (Scott or Fischer?) amp.
Also, remember that the 15 watts Quad II amps used heavy feedback
around the output transformer (cathode windings) , thereby being able
to deliver some current.
Your average UL or pentode tube amp could get in trouble.

I'm doing okay with 40 watts of solid state, so, maybe.


The 40 watts figure in itself is quite meaningless unless the amp is
able to maintain the same voltage in lower phase-shifting impedances.
My PP KT88-in-triode amps are able to create a very nice sound quality
in my Magnepans, but my hybrid MOSFET amp goes beyond that in terms of
subjective loudness and bass extension (punch).
I *know* that Maggies aren't Quads, but in my opinion Quads are a bit
harder to drive with mere UL or pentode amps.
Maybe PPP KT88 or KT90 in triode is the way to go, that would give you
about 40 watts and enough damping to control the lower end.

Maybe mr. Devil could enlighten us on what kind/configuration of
amplifiers he uses?

One pair of KT90s, 460 volts anode and 80mA bias, ultra-linear, 12dB
loop feedback, no cathode feedback. Driver is a pretty straightforward
affair (I'm keeping the tube secret though, cos it's special!) :-).


Don't tell me it's the ECF82/6AN8 phase splitter :-)
Your primary Ra-a would be about 5 k then?
If so, try the lowest secondary impedance taps you can find.
Your ears will thank you!

As my esteemed contribution to this veritable cornucopia of Evil High End
Establishment falderol, let me add the following to this mortifying display of
tube bigotry - LOT'S!!!

For many years, I used to drive a pair of Quad ESL-57's with a vintage toobed
Fishe 400 receiver - 25 watts/channel - 4 7868 Pentodes. Plenty of volume and
good dynamics. Actually, there was even enough power to drive these in
combination with an M&K subwoofer specially designed to be used with original
Quads (called "The Bottom End"), where the Fisher provided the power for the
M&K as well ( run through a passive crossover matrix). Don't know how well the
Fisher would have done with 63's or 988's, however.

Been there, done that. Asked and answered.

If iron knees killed (trademarked creative expression).

A lot of people run Quads with 25-30 wpc, both SS and tubes, so I really wonder
if 20 is going to make or break it. Like the Devil said, I should borrow
another pair of 63s and see how it sounds. I think 988s are 87 or 88 dB
sensitive, so I think that's right on the border. My Spendor SP100s are 90 dB
sensitive and it's a perfect match, but the impedance stays fairly constant at
8 ohms. I think the Quads dip below 4 here and there.

If I recall correctly, the Fisher had 4, 8 and 16 ohm taps. Somebody suggested
I try feeding the Quads off of the 16 ohm taps because of their impedance
