Final-Audio New Series electrostatics


I am a fan of Final-Audio Electrostatic speakers.  I have transitioned to the current models.  Any others out there in audio land using the newest iterations?  The M series.

Can you please share your thoughts on the ones that you have owned/auditioned, as well as your path to where you are currently. Would also love to know what amplification you have driven and are driving your speakers with; the type of music you listen to, and anything else you'd care to share.

I like my genesis and infinity irs v the best.but they are big and due to size need large rooms.most of the flat speakers need a subwoofer because thier drawback is little low frequency.they are fast  and responsive  start and stop quickly.that is why most ribbons are used in mid and tweet range. Momentum is mass x velocity so the less mass the better fast response to sound. This is why tekton uses his array pattern that sounds great.this is why beryllium is used in tweeters it pushes cone breakup past human hearing >20 db. The final panels are a great bang for the buck.you can fly into Phoenix AZ and listen.most flat speakers require big amps like 1 kw macs bryston 28b3 hegel h30 or d sonic m3 class d.class d is used on almost all base speakers with internal amps on the base. You could try the heil ess  it goes from 600 hz to 20 k. Enjoy the hunt

The new ps audio speakers have ribbons in thier mids and tweets that sound great.alot of speakers are using flat speakers more and more.

I have had the Final M12s for about 6 months and love them. They are every bit the "near full range electrostats", meaning transparency, coherency, speed, detail, and sounds great at all volume levels as my old but still working great Acoustat Spectra 22s. They also sound better off-axis so I don't feel the "head in a vice" issue (but maybe its my high frequency hearing reduction, now that I am older!) Thus far I believe that Final Audio is the high value electrostat company that Acoustats were in their day. It took a long time for the M12s to fully break in. Currently paired with SVS 2000 pro subwoofer for low bass. I also have smallish Martin Logan hybrids (Source is the model name) that I like very much in my bedroom system. I am considering the M35s since my listening room is large enough; the M12s do a great job filling the near field space.

I am very interested in Final and Potpori.   I currently have been running XStatic full-range electrostats for 30 years and am a total flat-panel dipole fan.   Last year, I updated my old Velodyne subs to Rhythmic and found that to be a superb match.  At one time I toyed with the idea of going to the ML Renaissance 15A, but after comparing them side by side, I elected to stick with my XStatics.

I heard the Potpori at the Florida Audio Fest last spring and was quite impressed.  I've not heard the Final.

I'd be keen to hear form anyone who has heard them compared to the ML.
