Best Electrostatic loudspeaker?


Many of us have found that nothing make the magic happen like a pair of Electrostatics. It's been an evolutionary road for me, starting with various dynamic systems, then ribbon/dynamic hybrids, then full range planar magnetics (Maggies), then Electrostatics. So those of you with experience in Electrostatics, which do you think is (are) the best designed and executed example(s) of the breed?

For me the Acoustat 1+1,2+2. Model 2 and Model 3.Full range and dont need subwoofer. Downside need lots of power. But the sonics are amazing.
I have narrpwed my choices to these two but live in a rural area and have limited audition opportunities. I would appreciate comments on trdae-offs and sonic comparisons. Thanks, Jeffrey jfteuber@earthlink.net or 805 434 9220 Tel & Fax in California
Quad 989 vs. Soundlab Millennium 2? Would appreciate any comments, experience or insights reflecting on the sonic tradeoffs of these two. I am about to take the plunge and have narrowed it down to these. Thank you, Jfteuber@earthlink.net or Tel & Fax: 805 434 9220 California -- Call any time.
Albert Porter please contact me. See my postings above, "I have narrowed" and "989 vs. M2." I would like to benefit from your long experience with Soundlabs and must commit to one of thes two soon. I would love to chat with you, and you may call me at home and/or email.

Acoustat III, 2+2 or 4, Quad is good but it can't play rock or big band like Acoustat can do. Acoustat is indestructible. I have a pair of 2+2 and I love them after all these years.
What's about Magneplanar? It's simple it's not an electrostatic speaker it's an isodynamic that's all, and it's not fast as Quad, SoundLab or other ESS, ok it give a good sound but I prefer an Acoustat or Quad by far.
