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 love the midrange and highs on the ML electrostatics. I have the CLS which is weak on bass.  So they integrated them with a traditional woofer. I was headed that way  when I got distracted and ended up with other speakers but I would predict you'll be very happy.

I have the ML ESL X model which has a dynamic woofer and the electrostatic panel driven by my refreshed Carver Silver Sevent amps.  The next level are the 11a, 13a, 15a models which have a powered woofer so your amp only drives the panel.

This site has a wealth of discussions on all thing ML:

I've had Martin Logan electrostatic speakers for 20 years.

They're fantastic speakers with an airy sound unlike dynamic speakers. 

I think the models with powered woofers sound the fullest.

My system includes Summit X for the front, ReQuest for surround, and Stage as a center. The immersive sound for music and movies is just amazing.

However, now I'm planning on selling to try a high efficiency dynamic system.
