Amps for ESL-63s. ?

I finally got the speakers here. I'm just running the Quads right now, no gradient subs yet, with the Levinson 432. So far, so good. In fact, they sound excellent. I'm putting a decent amount of volume in them (I'm in an apartment so I never get really really loud), and they sound much more dynamic than the 'internet chatter' had led me to believe they would. Makes me think that some people comment on things they've never actually heard..wait, that never happens! :)

I also borrowed a Quad 606 amp that I may give a shot, too. But I think the Levinson is going to be ok here.
 
I know I'm necroposting...

I am using a Wiim Amp Pro with ESL-63s and it's great! The Quads are designed for 50-100W amps and the Wiim puts out 60W into 8 Ohms and 100W into 4 Ohms. I am using the bass management - i.e. built in 4th order Linkwitz-Riley crossover- set to 100 Hz to keep low frequencies out of the Quads and send them to an SVS 3000 Micro sub. The combo is perfect. I get the lows that the Quads can't deliver, and higher SPL capability than the Quads can normally deliver because they aren't trying to reproduce the lows.

The system is extremely simple- just the amp, sub and speakers. I use the Wiim's built in streamer to play music from Tidal and my own server running LMS. I don't have to turn anything on or off, or juggle multiple remote controls. I control every with my phone or a tablet. The amp doesn't have to be anywhere that it can be seen, so it's going to get hidden under the couch or inside a cabinet.
