Dear Luther,
Depending on what SAE amps you have, they certainly can be adjusted to
drive electrostatics. When I worked there, Morris was OVERLY concerned
about protection circuits mainly because he didn't at that time
understand the true nature of VA loadlines. Most engineers STILL don't
understand the situation. A properly designed amplifier should be
perfectly capable of driving any rated VA into a load in ALL FOUR
QUADRANTS. However, this ends up being a true enigma because in order to
protect against a true short circuit, volt-amp limiting must be used.
You can modify or remove the limiters with no adverse effects AS LONG as
you don't short the outputs. 2 ohm reactive loads should not be a
problem assuming that the music you listen to has a reasonable dynamic
range.
If anyone wants to delve into this situation I'll be happy to discuss
this situation further.

FYI: You don't have to have full SAE systems to get posted on my site,
so feel free to send me anything your proud of. I ,also, have a lot of
Carver gear, but didn't think that would be of much interest here.
Mainly large high current amps. I would use SAE to drive my
electrostats, but they can't handle the 2 ohm load. Luther

I'm going to address several messages in this one
message.....
I'd love to show off my stuff Luther, but being the
soundfile that I am, I
don't use all of the SAE stuff in a single
system......snip.....As far as sharing resources, I will be
uploading some of my notes to the
sae_talk file area for now, until wardsweb becomes
operational.
As far as the Inkel stuff goes, the only good thing about it
is that they
used very standard components and are readily available. I
found the
replacement chips I needed thrugh the ECG Sylvania website.
You can
download a cross reference software package from them for
free.
Whew! Lotta typing!. Anyhow...that's it from here.
