Thinking about going electrostatic


Got that itch for speakers again I have a pair of Joseph audio pulsar and a pair of talon khorus.  I like both but now thinking about martin logan my budget is 3 to maybe 4500 I would look for a used pair can't afford new not to concern about bass I have a talon roc sub. Speakers would be powered with a rotel 1090 and prima luna dialogue pre amp. Have never herd of that type of speaker. Would like to here your thoughts

I have a pair of Martin Logan Requests that I bought new in 98. I have them powered by a pair of McIntosh 352 amps in a vertical passive bi-amp.  I’ve been painting the interior of the house (no small project) and replaced all the flooring.  Yesterday I moved the system back into the living room after about a month. 
The speakers still command my attention, and leave my astonished.  I replaced the panels about 12 years ago.   
 My local dealer and friend sells Focal  I listed to the Sapora 3 at home just before COVID  I just didn’t get the same sense and illusion. Speakers are about 10 ft from the front wall , throws a big sound stage and on good recordings disappear well.

not sure what I’ll do if they quit working, perhaps I’ll quit working first.
