@palmharbor -- Thanks for your response, I think that's a good way to approach it. Unfortunately, I listened to several pairs of used ML's, and none of them sounded as good as new ones. I even listened to a pair of Sequel II's that the owner said had new panels installed 6 years earlier, and they did not sound good. After trying to find a used pair that sounded as good as the ones I initially heard, I eventually bought a more traditional set of speakers.
Differences among the electrostatics of Martin Logan models?
I recently heard a pair of Martin Logan ESL13's (Expression), and loved them, but they are way out of my budget. I understand the electrostatic portion of the ESL 9 is nearly identical, and that got me thinking about pairing one of the many models of used MLs (eg ESL X, EM-ESL, Ascent, Sequel, Scenario, EFX, etc) with a good subwoofer. Does anyone know which models of ML use the same electrostatic section as the 9's and 13's? Which older models would have noticeably inferior electrostatics, and which should just be avoided?
