Best Electrostatic loudspeaker?

Many of us have found that nothing make the magic happen like a pair of Electrostatics. It's been an evolutionary road for me, starting with various dynamic systems, then ribbon/dynamic hybrids, then full range planar magnetics (Maggies), then Electrostatics. So those of you with experience in Electrostatics, which do you think is (are) the best designed and executed example(s) of the breed?

Oh I meant to say the new Magnepans sounded fabulous. Shame they killed off Apogee...

If price comes into it you would find it hard to beat a magnepan IMHO

Soundlabs get a lot of positive buzz worth noting.

Chadeffect,

I'm curious - just how did Magnepan "kill off" Apogee? I would have nominated a/d/s for that award.

Br3098,

Infringement of copyright I believe :-(

I've owned a few 'stats as well as Maggies, but my current fav's are 1 ohm Scintillas which betters the others I've had. The upstream gear is very important to any panel speaker and makes a huge difference in it's voice.
