I run a Leak Stereo 20 into ESL57s. I have always had the Leak on its 8ohm tap but now note that the 57s are basically 30/16ohm over most of their working range.

Does this mean I should change?? I have tried it and can't say that I notice much difference other than a small amount of 'smoothing' better or worse or just different I don't know.

Opinions?? What do other 57 owners use?

Just use whichever sounds best. No harm will come to anything.

I always found a new washer was a great way to fix a leaky tap... :D
