    Hi Ali,

    No they don't. I've read that fitting clamping circuits can have an adverse effect on the performance of the ESL 57s. Perhaps I should contact Dada electronics for advice.

    Do you know if the clamp circuits simply fit across the speaker terminals? If so, I could try them out without permanent internal installation.

    Regards

    Not sure to be honest.Mine didn't have any fitted and I used them with a variety of amps.I think you just need to be sensible with the volume.In any case,I don't have you pegged as a death metal freak!

    BTW,just read through the comments on that link and there is one person using the amp with '57's.Seems very happy with it.I'll probably get one to run the tv through.

    I'm too old for all of that now, not that I was ever a heavy metal fan!

    Thanks for the advice

    Still miss my 57's in some ways.I don't think the midrange of these has ever really been surpassed.

    I don't mate to be honest as I've never really got into the specifications (but I do know my own ears of course ), but have a look at the informative PDF for the 9SE (linked below) as it gives lots of information. It's a strong amplifier though no doubt, the peak power output runs into the 300s of watts.

    No probs chap, I hope it helps. If the amps are suitable then it should be an exceptional combination, especially in terms of transparency.
