RE: Which Pass Labs power amp for Quad ESLs?

"Never run a high powered amp with high sensitivity speakers."

I don't necessarily agree with this. If the 'high power' amp is dead quiet there is no harm in running the high power amp with high sensitivity speakers.

But that's not the point. The OP is running low sensitivity speakers.

"My Plinius SA-102 has a switch which can switch between class AB and class A. It sounds much better in class A mode."

That could be true in YOUR SYSTEM but the OP is talking about running a 25-WPC Class-A amp vs his 250-WPC Class-AB amp into his not-so-sensitive speakers. Do you have a definitive answer to the OP's question?
