Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic


I am downsizing my home and presently have soundlab M2's.
I would like to hear from people who have moved back into a dynamic speaker from electrostatics and what makes were the ones that you listened to and eventually settled on.

If you are in NJ I would suggest you listen to newest Vandersteen Carbon Quattro CTs and Five A CT.
Having also enjoyed Sound Labs, I think you'll find the
Carbon drivers a true breakthrough.
We have had an overwhelming positive response and these smaller designs are probably right what you are looking for
without the compromise in performance. Besides the tidy in room bass response adjustability,high Pass options, these designs make in room set up easy hence allowing you to feel like you are at the venue.

At your 15K price point I was very impressed with the Martin Django's. No, I don't own them, still using my Apogees, but for a cone speaker the Django's had all the slam you would expect (and generally miss in a planer) plus a transparency and soundstaging that didn't have me missing my Duetta Sig's much at all.
I made the move 2 weeks ago and went with NOLA KO's; I am still playing with positioning but like what I hear so far.
There really is no replacement for large electrostatics. What ever way you go it will be less than what you had. I can only suggest a smaller stat. The see through Martin Logans don't dominate the room like the Sound Labs do. At least not the smaller ones. That would be the direction I take.
