Zach, based on Lance's experience I might suggest the Janszen Carmelita, formerly called the zA1.1. That is the stand mounted version of his zA2.1 with very similar sonic character. While I'll admit the zA2.1 hardly occupies more floor space than its stand mounted sibling, with fewer drivers the Carmelita might suit some smaller rooms better and the price is quite a bit lower. Yet it retains that electrostatic mid-range magic.
Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp?
I recently was told by another member about Linear Tube Audio as they are using David Berning's designs (approved by David) and are made in the USA. The Micro ZOTL 2.0 pre has just received great reviews and they also offer the ZOTL 40 and ZOTL 10 amps. I would really like to get some feedback from someone that owns the pre and one of the amps. Thanks!
