What dynamic spkr. did you go to from electrostat?

Chadnliz...Planar bass (at least with Maggies)is smoother than any box speaker, and sounds as if it goes lower than it really does. Really good. It just doesn't go that low (MG1.6 roll off at 40 Hz) and SPL at low frequency is limited. Planars that don't need SW help are huge.

I went from Martin Logan Requests to Avantgarde Duo Omegas.
The Duo Omegas, with proper room placement are better on all fronts.
The most LIVE, natural sounding speakers I have come across short of spending tens of thousands of dollars more. And being super efficient they can be driven by low-power tube amps.

I will say it once more, GamuT Audio L5.
Sphere.

i find it hard to listen to cone speakers, because they have a driver and cabinet coloration, which in most cases is evident after about 1 to 2 hours of listening.

i think di polar radiating loudspeakers, not hybrids, are characterized by less inaccurate timbre than that of cone designs.

I once thought the same way Mrtennis. I was stuck on the maggie and ribbon sound though not perfect..no speaker is..very enjoyable.

It wasn't until I got into single drivers did I realize a cone can be just as fast or faster than the maggies in revealing nuances and inner detail. The cones I use now make maggies sound a little lethargic in the midrange and portray more weight. I place their sound some where between a maggie and martin logan without the MLs detached bass.
