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?

I can attest to the reliability of the Innersounds. The stats are practically bulletproof. No arcing, no issues with dust or humidity. Yes, Innersound has closed it's doors, but Roger Sanders is in Colorado, and very willing to help you out, if a problem arises. The Innersound Kaya's have dynamics that will completely blow away any of the other speakers that you are considering.
There is a pair currently for sale on Audiogon, that is a steal.
If electrostats are what you are looking for, I highly recommend considering these. I have had mine for about six months, and for the first time in my audiophile career, I can say that I am done. There, I said it.
