Panel Sound

"Stats RULE and the BEST STATS are made by Roger Sanders. Nothing can be better"

Unless it's a horn. Horns Rule! Nothing can be better.

But seriously though, do you see how ridiculous blanket statements are. Be better than that..........

Shakey

After hearing ML, SL, Janzen, Sanders, and Kingsound at recent shows, I'm leaning toward King IIIs. These have consistently sounded superb-- with embodiment that eludes most of the other ESLs. Sanders often sounds desiccated and paper-thin(maybe artifacts of the digital crossover?) and the hybrid Janzens can sound tubby with uncontrolled LF. At recent shows the CLX's have been hit or miss, but did sound great when paired with Krell.

When I heard the SL last year at the Newport show, even with mediocre electronics, the sound was surprisingly quite good. I would hope that the setup next time (maybe this year) will be done with far higher performance electronics .at least a top-notch preamp.

It would be in SoundLabs' best interest to assure that the demonstrator pair these speakers with appropriate electronics. But then again, so many many many exhibitors of "proud' speakers severely skimp on the electronics and the sound suffers immensely. Such a result for me and a friend meant we pretty much did a quick U-turn upon arrival to those such rooms.

Im surprised Analysis Audio speakers are not more popular.I heard a pair that sounded so much better than so many of the more popular high end speakers I've heard.They filled every inch and beyond a fairly good size room,gave the feeling there were no walls.

My "stats rule" remark was made in a post titled "panel sound". Within that realm, and within the flavor of the topic, my comment is actually quite proper, should that be my belief.
