Which system? EAD - THETA - CLASSE


Need help with a recommendation. Have just bought the FINAL, electostatic, modular home theater speaker package. Need help on which processor, multi channel amp, and cd/dvd player to buy. Was looking at EAD, Theta, and Classe. Want all gear to be of same manufacturer. I was told by FINAL that their electrostats will produce a 3 ohm load, and they use Theta equipment at their facility.

Sorry that I can`t give you recomendations on your system, I`m just curious to know about FINAL electrostatic speakers. How are they? How do they sound ? And if there`s a big difference between them and regular speakers? Would like to hear from you. Thank you.
I have been very happy with all my gear from EAD I started with the Theatermaster Ovation about 4 years ago traded up to the Signature around the same time I picked up the Ultradisc 2000 and the Theatervision, I recently picked the new line from Ead/Alpha digital I have the new pro8000 processor and the dvd pro8000 I cant speak to the other models I did demo them a dealer friend of mine that sells the Theta said it is good stuff but can be a little glitchy and as far as the Classe I have never heard anyone say any thing good or bad,Ead has great customer service reasonably high value retention, every time I wanted to trade up I listed the on A-Gon and in days it sold and I made small incremental jumps to trade up Thanks ps If you dont have a local EAD dealer or they are not as aggressive in pricing I can refer you to my dealer
Never heard EAD. I've directly compared Theta to Classe on a number of occasions. Classe just doesn't stand up. I know a dealer who uses Theta dvd and processor in their $400,000 home theater system. Works well. I also use a Theta player (Carmen) and DAC (IIIa). They're great, but they DEFINITELY ARE glitchy. Mine is a warranty replacement. They couldn't stop the original from skipping. I now wipe a cd or dvd off with a glasses rag every single time I insert the disk, just to be sure. Can't argue with the sound, though.
