    Just remembered they were also sold in the US as the Polk Cobra. If you look on Hi-Fi Shark, you'll see there's a bit of a following.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Well you wouldn't choose them to go with old Naim amps, but I had mine sounding excellent with a valve job.

    Should be OK. If a valve amp doesn't like a load it may sound soggy or make rude noises, but it's unlikely to pack up.

    Quad 11's should work just fine, as the ESL's can be awkward to drive and they handle those OK.

    I'd be happy using any valve amp actually.
