Box speakers that sound like Electrostats?

Joe...you are correct...the Quads are have 2 ports...both in the rear...so they are really intended for "free space" positioning...and dont get me wrong...I do like Spendors...and as you mentioned...on vocals,strings,acoustics,etc..in their limited range...they are impressive...but for me...especially bass dominant material...fusion jazz,dub,reggae,drum n bass,electronic,etc...my requirements were a little different...

I agree with 1652, I bought the andra's because even the
review of Paul Bolin states that this speakers do things
like electrostatic sp,

Interesting you mention Paul Bolin. The last I heard, Mr. Bolin uses the Apogee Duetta Signature as his reference speaker. His word, that a particular dynamic driver speaker can emulate electrostats, is well worth the listen.

Muralman with due respect to you I do have quest Martin
Logan rewired with siltech,IMHO this speakers they are
so hard to beat, In my room they are slightly big,
but they do unbelievable sound, I did hear the sound lab
I dont know the model but as tall as my quest they are
good but I did not miss them at all. Actually when I read
the Andra 2 by Paul Bolin, My friend brought this andra
in my house as good as my electrostats this andras they
clearer, more like electrostats but emotionally they will
connect to you,It almost took a week befor Sarah Brightman
left my room, The emotion is the difference, the logans
they perform more live.

Perigees - if you are an Aussie, or Brit. The Perigee presently has a limited distribution. Apogee - Perigee... There is a connection. The Perigee developer started business as a ribbon replacement manufacturer for his and other's, around the world, beloved Apogees. The Perigee is a steal, if you can find one. Used Apogees are still audio's greatest bargain.
