Former magnepan owner here. 3.3. Powered by Spectral DMA 180. Quite clear,but could never get the imaging right,and the bass response was inadequate. Subwoofers at the time were not up to the task. Went to dynamic speakers for last 14 years, Audio Physic. and was completely satified until an unplanned audition of Martin Logan Montis. Wife was checking out Martin Logan Clx for a client, so I was in the other room passing time. Hadn't heard ML in 15 years, and was thrilled. All the Bass needed, dead center imaging. Bought them that day,and retail was less than my 15 y/o Audio Physics.
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?
