I'll support the Acoustats too. Mine are modified Spectra 44. The panels themselves are very, very reliable. For those who think they have no resolution, I'll say better parts in the interfaces will heavily modernize their sound.
Electrostat - M-L; Quad or Soundlab - reliable
Looking for the best electrostat that is reliable. Seems as Soundlab sounds the best performed, but is the most unreliable; Quad is second best performer - very safe - easiest to resell but also unreliable. M-L third, but maybe the most reliable.
Is the reliability issue due to people playing "Pink Floyd at 100 dB" or is reliability also an issue for us 80 to 85 dB people?
