Hi, All my amps are U/L. Nearly no global NFB (just 3 db for stability at way above band possible resonanaces). And yes indeed...everything matters. It took a long time to figure out how to best use my Martin Logan ESLs. They tend to be troublesome loads for some amps (none of mine though) and placement is critical.

Hi Bruce,

Yes, I have heard Martin Logan's are a difficult load. i take it the
impedance varies wildly?

I agree Bruce, everything matters.

I am not running any global negative feedback, just a very small amount
of cathode/current feedback for the output tubes.

To help match woofer to full range driver, I am currenty using a 15"
piece of 18 gauge wire. I have 6" available, or no extra wire, or
other custom lengths if necessary.

You are so right concerning speaker placement.

Nice post Bruce. Appreciate your knowledge and input.

I guess back to Class A, AB1, B, and C amps.

Cheers and all the best Gents.
