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

excerpt below from Stereophile review of your Joseph Audio Pulsars

"Joseph Audio doesn't specify its speakers' sensitivities, but I assume that, like many small, high-performance speakers, the Pulsar is relatively insensitive. If, as stated, its impedance doesn't drop below 6 ohms, it should present an easy load to drive. The 100Wpc Music Reference RM-200 Mk.II had no trouble whatsoever doing so; the combination produced among the most enjoyable, most musically involving listening experiences I've had in the dozen years I've been in this room. I could live happily ever after with the Joseph Audio Pulsars and the Music Reference RM-200 Mk.IIbut that's not to say I couldn't live more happily ever after with the big stuff!"

I think you will be wasting your time unless you try 'big stuff', and I don't see any description or photos of your listening space, so I hope it is large enough for 3 or 4 way speakers.

Joseph Audio's success is related in part to the use of Richard Modafferi's Infinite Slope Crossover which he seems to have re-named.

Like a broken record, (if your space is large enough) I will again recommend the totally unique JSE Infinite Slope Model II's, you have never experienced 4 way speakers with such crossover precision and the 2nd patent, bass shift use of the 10" and 12" drivers.

@bill1957  There's no place near me to listen to them I'm in mannsville ny.

Plenty of good snowmobile and ATV dealers up near Watertown! laugh

check out Steve Guttenberg's review on YouTube of the Eminent Technology LFT8Band C before you do anything.

Eminent has a 30 day free trial in home.  If you don't like em you return them at your cost.

Bill,

There is a ML dealer in Rochester if you are willing to make the 2 hr drive.  (Digitial Audio Video Enviroments   https://www.comeseedave.com/)  I don't know anything about them other than they are a licensed ML dealer.

And don't dismiss the ML users group as a resource for a possible audition.  They are a good group in this hobby.  I got my first listen from a nearby user that responded from a post I made there.  https://www.martinloganowners.com/

and whatever happens... enjoy where the journey takes you.
