Tbonephile. The Sound Labs are about the best electrostatic designs I've heard, but I believe that even their entry level models are much more pricy (new) then your ML speakers. I could be wrong though. You've gotton allot of great suggestions here already. IN fact, the ML speakers you already own are great performers too, but they just might not be right for your room. That happens some times; I know it's happend to me MORE than a few times! Personally, I'd also check out Magnepans. Not electrostatic, but exceptional speakers at more than fair prices; and they are "dynamic" in their own way. Maybe not great for the viceral type impact that many people crave in the bass region, but the LF info is there; and the Maggies are fast, detailed, and well integrated. For true dynamic designs, you might also enjoy Alon speakers, especially the Lotus, V, or Circe. Very open and airy (open baffle dipole midrange and trebble) good bass (my V mkIII go to about 25 cycles with good pitch definition and power), and a very realistic presentation of music. Maybe not the last word in "pin point imaging", but they throw a very realistic soundstage, with excellent image size. They are also easy to drive, and not too much of a pain to place properly in a room. The Alon speakers offer a great balance between musicality and hi-fi definition. You can learn more about the Alon speakers at www.alonbyacarian.com. I hope this helps some. Regards, Robert.
