In addition to what I've written here Integrated amp advice for ML , I'd like to add that I had the chance to directly compare the Accuphase E-370 (class AB as well as significantly cheaper) and the the E-600 (class A or so they claim) - but on some dynamic speakers that I know well, not on...

I'm happy with my Accuphase E-470 integrated driving my Impression 11A's. Beautiful highs and midrange, with natural color and warmth, and better extended up top compared to my previous amp, the Audio Analogue Maestro Anniversary (despite the fact that the AA was doubling power at 4 ohms and was...

Hi! Your amplifiers are real beasts it seems, so I cannot imagine them as being the culprit. I also own the Impression 11A and I haven't heard the thinning you are describing, but then my "loud" is not very loud so I don't know how they behave at 90+ dB. My feeling though is that they are not...

Or - let's not! A forum is a place for sharing, not for convincing. It isn't about religion, so it shouldn't be about "agnosticism" either. I don't need anyone to believe that some power cords can change the sound, so to each their own. But if someone has had an experience that could be helpful...

For what it's worth: I have a pair of Impression 11A. I have tried to replace the power cords with aftermarket ones and there was always a difference, but not always for the better. The stock cables are adequate and I'm still using them, but this will change at some point. I've recently heard...

Thank you very much. Based on the rather positive comments, I took the plunge and paid for a DP 550 SACD player / E 470 amplifier today. Fingers crossed!

Hi, stereoman. Any updates on this? I'm strongly considering an E-370 or an E-650 at the moment, I've heard them both but not on electrostatics. Thanks!

Looking forward! Thanks!

Much appreciated! I'm afraid Diablo is out of my priced range. I've heard the Accuphase E600 and really liked it, but it was a very different system with dynamic speakers and I had no idea if it (or the newer E650, or the E480) could easily drive the Impression 11. Also, my amp, an Audio...

Hi Nutshell, can you please give me some more details about the ML11 / Accuphase matching? How did the 2 Accuphase amps compare sonically? Any hf rolloff due to the low impedance of the panel in the upper octave? Was the bass extended and controlled even with the 30W E650? A few words about the...

Congratulations for your improvements, enjoy! ARC being so impressive is very good news. On the other hand, going with the more affordable Classic 9 in my case will almost certainly involve some other kind of room correction later on, probably Dirac as in the MiniDSP SHD Studio, and Dirac seems...

Better as in deeper? Fuller / weightier? Punchier? Was the 11A able to rock with punch, drive, PRAT? (the very often mentioned question about the Martin Logan speakers and maybe other electrostatics too - a question that I couldn't confidently answer in the Impression 11A's case, while the well...

Hi! Thank you for the welcoming and the reply. I've read your thread with great interest and, while it describes significant burn in changes, I'm not sure hot to relate the changes you mentioned with my concerns. Would you say your 13A became meatier, fuller in the lower mids and bass and...

Hello! I have recently had the chance to compare the two models mentioned in the same room / system and my findings are a bit unexpected, hence my post here in order to share them with you and maybe get some help with an explanation of what I've heard. This could have a great importance in the...

Hi there! I'm the proud owner of a pair of Martin Logan Classic ESL 9 speakers, bought new less than a year ago, driven by an Audio Analogue Maestro Anniversary integrated amp. These are my first serious loudspeakers but I'm a long time user of Stax electrostatic headphones. Musical...
