I've only really heard a couple of sets of 57's and always been impressed. But the bass was lacking, no real sub bass. If they could present the same as my Tannoys I'd seriously get a pair.

One of the best sounds I've ever heard was from ESL57's driven by a heavily modded (by me) Leak Stereo 20. A match made in heaven

Last time I had stacked 57s I drove them with Art Audio Tempo mono blocks, I have also used a 303 and a 405n neither o which required using one amp per side. The last set up also had a Decca ribbon tweeter per side and a bassette sub, sounded awesome.
