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

You could probably negotiate a lower price on these:

The killer might be the shipping?

For the price they can be a great intro in the ESL sound, which I now prefer over conventional speakers (except $$ unobtanium)

Decent, mid-level panels have superior mid/high/vocal performance that only premium upscale conventional speakers can deliver-IMO, of course.

I've been using the model this replaced with good results. The bass unit is passive but give acceptable performance-with a sub which you have, you're golden.

Do you have Magnepan on your list also?

Optimum placement calls for pushing them out in the room to appreciate what all the fuss is about with these types of speakers. That, and rear wall treatment/clearance from side wall.
