Given he has two amps and everyone swears by the magtech - what is the point of his esl amp?
The ESL amp is the older of the two, the Magtech was built with the ESL as the foundation then adding a fully regulated power power supply that is 100% efficient. The regulator makes it possible to obtain a 50% increase in power over the same amplifier operated unregulated. In its stereo form, the Magtech will deliver 500 watts/channel into an 8 ohm load and 900 watts/channel into a 4 ohm load.

Beyond the tech stuff the Magtech is a great match for maggie's, it brought my 20.7s to life & I would not trade the amp for anything out there, regardless of cost.
