Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic

There really is no replacement for large electrostatics. What ever way you go it will be less than what you had. I can only suggest a smaller stat. The see through Martin Logans don't dominate the room like the Sound Labs do. At least not the smaller ones. That would be the direction I take.

Maybe the Summit X electrostatic hybrid speaker would be the perfect balance between realism and dynamics.

I am pretty pleased with the Nola's as I finally found the placement about 4 ft off the backwall and 8 ft apart seem to be giving a extremely nice sound and image.
I am very happy with the sound but I still find myself not listing the M2's for sale yet!

Rleff, I sold my Soundlab M1 speakers and while I do miss them at times I found there could be audio life after SL speakers. I purchased a speaker from a little known company named Lahave Audio. A simple two way floor stander that images so fine. It is a different perspective on the music and I like it.

The SL were a pain in some ways. Very big. Fussy on amplification. Could make stay panel noises that drove me crazy at times. But they sure sounded awesome!

Meant to say "stray noises". Sorry for the typo.
