soundhound,
My electrostatics are the Audiostatic 240 from early 1980’s. They are still the most detailed stats I have ever heard, although I admire the ML CLX as next best. My 240’s are mellowing out compared to when I got them nearly 40 years ago, so I have added the Enigmacoustics Sopranino electrostatic tweeter in parallel. This gives me SOTA HF, but the impedance combo at the highest output 8kHz setting is probably 1.5 ohms or so, with a weird phase angle, so most amps are severely limited in the power they can deliver without shutting down. I make this sacrifice in power for the glorious brilliance at lower SPL’s which is doable for most classical music I listen to.
