Box speakers that sound like Electrostats?


Has anyone found a monitor or full range speaker that compares to an electrostat?

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.
Muralman i do agree with the apogee are really good, Iam
glad that your thread just remind me fifteen years ago,
how good they are, the problem is they are hard to find,
i dont even see them anymore, 2 years ago, i saw them
on the audio dealership.
Jaytoy, Apogees have for the most part gone underground, both literally, and figurative. There are still thousands of mint Apogees out there, but they are almost all locked up in people's dedicated listening rooms. There is also a thriving Apogee forum where one finds Apogees, learns to care for them, and what ancillary equipment works with them. The Perigee creater, Graz, produces replacement ribbons for all models, and there is a long time Apogee builder, Robert Dragunas, who has all ribbons, and will rebuild Apogees for a reasonable cost. I have bought three near mint Apogees off of eBay and Audiogon.
Whoa!! Where are all the Vandersteen fans today? The whole idea of the Vandersteen "baffleless" design is to eliminate the "boxy" sound of a box speaker. Whether you like them or not, for whatever reason, the Vandersteens are absolutely transparent. Have a new listener over and the first comment (after Wow) is how transparent the sound is (and where is it coming from).

Give the 2CEs a listen Dennis, or if you have a little more room, the 3As. Sigs of course in either case.
