Desktop ESLs

Are there any viable desktop electrostatic speakers offered currently?

By "desktop" I mean for listening to at 1-2 meters.

I'd imagine response would have to be substantial down to at least 60 cycles or so.

(I'd prefer not to deal with a subwoofer for this setup.)

I think the Eminent Tech speakers are nice and so are Maggies, but neither can come close to a full-range electrostatic in doing what ESLs do. I have Martin Logon hybrids on the desktop now. They are nice little speakers. I was pretty sure there were no real desktop ESL options, but wanted to be sure!

Peter Walker sold Manfred Stein the original tooling for the 57s and the slight cosmetic design revisions improve on the original.
