Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr

I have ML’s 13a powered by Krell’s 575 XD monoblocks. Fantastic for jazz, absolutely no ear fatigue. 

noodlyarm, those are very pretty ESLs. Do they have curved panels like ML or are they segmented panels like Acoustats. Also how tall are they?
They are very tall but I can't tell from the pictures I have seen.

I own Acoustat speakers that I put together myself. I owned a number of different Acoustat models over the years and they usually came with extra panels. I kept the extra panels as I sold off the speakers as my listening room situation changed over the years. After my house renovation I had about 16 Spectra panels so I decided to build a pair of speakers that had 8 panels per side, a Spectra 8800, which never existed as a product from Acoustat. Bottom line is it sounds great in my 14  x 18 room, no sub needed. 

I owned a pair of Martin Logan Monoliths and truly enjoyed their sound. One problem is, there is a very narrow sweet spot.   The other is, I measured a peak high frequency of around 11K. Very unique sounding, but like the sound of a conventional speaker.  I like that “in your face” sound. Went to Wilson Max II’s and love them.  Would like to be able to have both the Wilson’s and some top of the line Maggie’s, but to accomplish this is a setup nightmare. 

Kgvetran - I have owned Maggie’s for over 20 years (MGII, 1.6 qr, 1.7i with DWM base panel now). Obviously, I love the sound of my Maggie’s - mid range vocals are amazing. My current listening room is larger than yours, but I feel the 1.7is would be a great fit. But pleased be warned - you need a lot of power (current) to drive these speakers to get optimal sound. I use class A - Krell at 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms to drive my speakers, and I am happy!!
