Electrostatic Speakers
10-22-14: AbcaudioI have no directly relevant experience, but I'll mention that the impedance curve of your speakers, as shown in Figure 1 here, will result in their tonal balance and sonic character being particularly sensitive to the output impedance, damping factor, feedback characteristics, and drive capability of the amplifier that is being used, and (especially if cable length is long) to the inductance and resistance of the speaker cables. So my suggestion is simply that you consider responses that may be provided to your question to only have much relevance if they are based on experience with the same or similar M-L speakers. Enjoy!

Your Cary Rocket 88 amp is really way too little power to drive those Quest Z speakers properly. I would recommended a higher powered amp for sure. As long as you aren't listening very loud or trying to fill a large room with music, you'll be okay, but if you are thinking about keeping those speakers, you'll need to invest in a bigger amp. Thanks Al for the info and as usual you are correct. |
Ralph has said it all. I own both the Sound Labs and his amps and what he describes I feel privileged to hear every day. Horns can be magnificent. I love the aCapella offerings, but after many hours of listening, they did not make me part with the SLs. They -to my ears - came sometimes closer to what I hear at live concerts. The Walsh drivers with their excellent dynamics have been perfected by German Physiks. Their bigger offerings, like the Emperor, with four of their DDD drivers per side, could perhaps one day lure me away from ESLs, for the first time in my 50 years career as an audiophile. |
