While reviewing all the posts, I was amazed that no one mentioned Innersound EROS mk2. You may want to take a look at a thread under tech talk "auditioned Innersound". Its about an opportunity I had to audition them. They are incredibly efficient, and sound absolutely amazing! These things shame any other electrostats anywhere in the price range, that I have ever heard. Despite the pictures on Innersound's web site, in real life, they are just beautiful looking. Believe me, as others have said here on Audiogon, these are electrostats with balls! Priced at 6K, and includes a bass amp at 600 wpc with adjustable electronic xovers. The fast tight bass from their 10" transmission line woofers, will just blow you away.
Best Electrostatic loudspeaker?
Many of us have found that nothing make the magic happen like a pair of Electrostatics. It's been an evolutionary road for me, starting with various dynamic systems, then ribbon/dynamic hybrids, then full range planar magnetics (Maggies), then Electrostatics. So those of you with experience in Electrostatics, which do you think is (are) the best designed and executed example(s) of the breed?
