Electrostats


Are electrostats any good for rock and roll?

Man speaker decisions are hard.

Hey Plato, I get enough grief from the wife about the VR4 GenIII's which grace her living room & I think with the Eros she would make life difficult for me, although her main complaint is they're black. Maybe I could sneak a pair in & she would only notice the black ones were gone?

Earlier this evening I heard some Innersound Eros MkIII speakers powered by their electronic crossover amp and another Innersound ESL 300 on top, along with the ARC CD3 & ARC pre amp. Cabling by Luminous Audio & ESL 300 PC was a Chris V Flavor 2.

This was the best electrostatic type speaker I've ever heard & ranks right up there with the best of speakers. There was nothing lacking in the bass region & of course the rest of the freq. range was splendid. On rock they were very fast & I could detect no compromises. They can also play LOUD. On complex passages the sound didn't get confused & everything I heard was coherent. In a short 2 hr. listening session I heard enough to want these speakers. Can't afford them right now but maybe if I pawn my wife's diamond I could, as she never wears it anyway.
