Sanders 10e

I concur. Amazing sound stage, but hard on your neck. :) I really wish Roger had considered a way to improve that

He did.  He invented the curved electrostatic panel, but didn't like the result.

Gayle and Ron took that design and ran with it.

Stewart dont agree about head in a vice! I can sit within a foot either way and they sound wonderful.  You do need to have them set-up in an equal triangle to sound their best but once set they put a smile on my face.

Your assessment differs even from Roger Sander' characterization of the speakers....Taking the side wall reflections out of the equation equals TINY SWEET SPOT....PERIOD..If you are hearing wonderful in a 2 foot window, then you would frankly find anything wonderful......

I've heard them at multiple shows and in 2 homes and the condition is always the same, tiniest sweet spot in history......and nothing outside it....

That's no good, tiny sweetspot is not for me.

I've heard the 10E setup several times. And they do NOT have a tiny sweet spot. They sound absolutely fabulous too. In my opinion, it is very good value for money.

I would assume that what Stewart heard was improperly setup.
