Electrostatic or Dynamic


Every time I get used to Dynamic,I want Electrostactics,then I get Electrostatics. Before long I long for the Dynamics. Can we be ever be content.

I discovered a really good "compromise" in Legacy Whisper speakers. Extremely open-sounding due to open-air design, yet plenty of dynamics, especially with voices and horns (4 mid-range drivers). 4 woofers do a good job with bass to about 22 hz. If I crave more "slam" I've also got a pair of Legacy Focus 20/20s, but I find myself listening to the Whispers 99% of the time.
Greetings,
I concur that once one has owned a pair of planars, it is not easy to get it out of their system (pardon pun).

I had E.T. LFT-8A's and thoroughly enjoyed them; however, now I'm enjoying the (imho) better imaging afforded by my Chapman Audio T-7's. Eventually, I will be moving up to the more formidable T-77.

I did own also maggie 1.6's, and it was great fun to swap out the planars and box speakers at will. It's just a different experience listening to each of these technologies. However, I never thought I would entirely lose my planars and use only a conventional speaker! Yet, that is preceisely what has happened since I found the Chapmans.

The day may come when I snag another pair of E.T.'s, (by the way, anyone who has found a superior planar to the ET's at the similar price point - I'd love to hear your thoughts!) but for the moment, I'm quite content to test the limits of my system and have not regretted losing the planars.
Had stacked Quad 57's, wanted a change, popped in Meadowlark Heron i,nice sound, set up stacked Quads for a potential buyer.
I liked the sound of stats again,but they were now sold, the buyer liked them too. Took one pair of Martin Logan CLS11z from my double cls home theatre system and it's Depth sub and haven't wanted to go back to cones since. The Meadowlarks are now my home theatre rear channel speakers.I have also gone back and forth but stats always seem to stay longer. used to own, Acoustat 3 medallian, Quad 63, Martin Logan sl3, stacked Quad 57, Martin Logan CLS11z.
