Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr


 I’m putting together an analog system. First on the list was a turntable, I’ve settled on the Denon DP 59L. 
  Now let’s hear from the owners of some panel electrostatic type speakers, not ones you dreamed of owning, ones that you’ve owned and the reason why they were your favorite.

@mijostyn- The Speakershop, on Fairbanks Ave, Winter Park. I was briefly famous for my closest neighbor, 20’ to the east of my property line(the Great Winter Park Sinkhole, of 1981). That went down, 31 days after I closed on the property, taking all utilities with it. One week, after moving in. At the time; one couldn’t get a residential mortgage, without sinkhole insurance, but- it wasn’t available at ANY price, for commercial properties. Of course, Loss of Income Ins. was negated, because my loss was caused by a, "specific exclusion." Pause the vid at 1:50 and my building is/was the blue one, at the bottom of the screen: https://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/02/sinkholes-which-swallow-homes-cars-and-people-are-not-so-rare/ When that vid was done, it hadn’t stopped growing yet. I was on Colonial Drive(across from Morrison's Cafeteria), Orlando, for a few years, before that.
When I had my shoppe in Florida, a customer wanted a pair of woofers built, to go with his Acoustat Model IIIls.    I used a design that Roger Sanders published, in Speaker Builder Magazine(circa 1980), to go with his home-brew(then) electrostatics.  We bi-amped them through a couple of my DH-500s, through a Dahlquist DQ-LP1.   My wife came with, when we set the stuff up, in the customer's home.      Has anyone else ever had to buy a new, bigger house(for a dedicated sound room), because their wife was so enthused about the tone, imaging and sound stage of a system?  My Hafler rep carried Acoustat too.   Sold a few of everything.  Those were the days.  Loved those Acoustats(and having a huge room, just for sound)!
