Hi--new ESL9 owner here.

[FulhamTarheel]

Glad to be with you guys.

Just got a sweetheart deal on a pair of ESL9's this week from a store that's closing due to the owner retiring. Powering them with a NAD C298. So far, so good! Yeah yeah yeah--I know it's Class D, but so far, it's made great music!

Welcome to the forum Fulham Tarheel,

Nice score on the ESL9's, and no need to apologize for Class D. I remember the early class D offerings were only for subs plate amps. They were cheap but prone to self-destructing but they've come a long way in recent years.

A friend of mine recently bought a pair of VTV class D mono-blocks. We tried them out on my homebuilt hybrid ESLs and they were amazing... serious punch very clean sound. I could find no fault with them at all.
