most articulate speaker


by design, would the most articulate type of speaker for massed strings and choral music be an electrostatic? I listen more and more to this type of music and am wondering if electrostatics are the way to go.

Emorrisiv, I have owned KLHs, Quad 57s, Acustats, Servostatics, Martin Logans, Dayton Wrights, and Soundlabs. I have not owned the new Quads that make a great effort to be a point source. The others never sought this and this is the reason why none of them image. Most had help in the bottom frequencies as electrostats have no bass below 60 Hz unless they have wings to reduce the bass cancelation.

I too hate subwoofers, but there is nothing else that you say that is true. For example I have arched all of the above except the Dayton Wrights.

You are seeking to spread BS with your uninformed statements. But I do agree that where electrostats are good they are very good.
Tbg:
I don't want to spread bs of any kind.I have no reason to.
I can assure you that my Acoustats go well below 60hz, and image very well.
It sounds like you are another one of the guys that have never had them or had them in a poor room.
I have never heard of a Acoustat arcing.They even had life time warranties. What models did you have?
I really don't understand what you are saying when you talk about a "point source" or "wings" either.

Auralone-In my system I also listen to choir with organ and feel my soundlab m2's do quite a good job on this source material.
I also had dunlavy scIII's and with the same source material the m2's are at least equal to if not better than the dunlavy's.
I do feel that a electrostatic speaker setup properly in the right room can play this source material just as well as a dynamic speaker can.
Are you able to audition the speakers you are considering?
The Heil AMT with Jensen top of the line caps in the crossover is the most articulate.
