Halcro with electrostats?


Anyone try this combo?

I've heard them on B&W Nautilus 800 at a dealer and was inpressed.

Wondering if they would be to much of a good thing with electrostats.

Yes - look up user "John C. - Aussie" on AA. He uses DM-68s with Sound Lab Majestics.
I use Halcro 68s with Soundlab M1s. The sound is incredibly dynamic and detailed. Soundstage is incredible, 'in the hall' with the room vanishing. By way of comparison I tried the Ayre monoblocks and the sounstage collapsed, dynamics and detail paled significantly and the raw excitement of the music vanished. My only problem is I listen loud in a large room. At peaks I can get the Halcro to clip with significant hardening.
Did anyone hear the Halcros at RMAF with the new Acoustic Zen speakers?

I thought that setup sounded quite dull. Also lacking dynamics. They were tri-amped with DM-88s I believe.

It didn't make any sense to me. I guess the room just wasn't working for them.
