Box speakers that sound like Electrostats?

Abex, again i have to say to you the same thing that i said to Gonglee3's post...you obviously never heard Innersound electrostats if you say that the electrostats lack integration of the woofer with the pannel...many people think of ML when they hear "electrostats" (and I fully agree, ML's don't do bass very well), but they should give a listen to a pair of Innersound speakers first before generalizing...

Iasi:
I really do not have a chance to audition the Innersounds,but I have heard good things about them.I think the biggest complaint I have about Panels is that people that fall in love with them as I did do not have a proper rooms to put them in after moving.I liked my Maggies and they intergrated well with a sub,but then I had to move and I had to get box speakers.The NEARs give me the transparency that the Panels did and more dynamics.

The Accoustats and ML's were really bad in getting the intergration right.

If ever I get a chance to listen to the Inner's I will gladly go take a listen.What I have to deal with at the moment is getting a speaker that has a small footprint and go as close to Fullrange as I can possibly get.The NEAR's are really small and go down to approx. 28Hz..Now I have to sell my sub which crosses over at 40Hz..I will probably opt for a REL sub.

The Modified NEAR M15's go to 32Hz. and are extodinary for what I paid for them,$350, and they are probably the best deal I have ever found.The M50's I am getting are still used by some Manfs. for reference speakers which says alot to give you an idea.I shall have the most advanced set in the world.

One other thing is that most Panels have weird loads which makes choosing amplification difficult.If I remember correctly Innersound uses CODA Amps which are designed to Innersounds specs.NEARs are alittle difficult because they go down to 2ohms on some pieces I think,but they are really easier to match amps to.

I bet you are happy with the Inners and I hope you have a room and amps that are suitable to put them in.I would like to have some CODA's also BTW as they are on my list of being some of the finest amps in the world along with the likes of LAMM,Threshold and Pass.I will probably get some Mark Levs or Aragons to run my NEAR's.

So in closing I will say I hope I did not offend you or any Planar owner's ,but I would really like people that buy them to have adequste rooms and amps for them.I am happy with what I have found and what I know about some Planar's.As I mentioned I will try to find a place that has them.I live in ME. so it's really difficult to get to hear alot of stuff.
