Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7

Variations in how your system sounds?

electrostats vs ribbon drivers
Why do you wrongly assume that all ribbons used in loudspeakers are Intentionally set up by designer to have more output over 3k? You said [i suppose i may be more sensitive to frequencies exceeding 3000 hz than many on these forums, which may be ...
