In Reply to: RE: SoundLab driven by Atma-Sphere! Shout out of thanks! posted by Bromo33333 on July 21, 2014 at 08:07:45
I found myself in the Chicagoland area last Saturday, and Brian Walsh (of Essential Audio) did a specatcular demo of the Soundlab U-1PX's being driven by Atma-Sphere monoblocks (MA-2) for me that blew my socks off!
I had the same enjoyable experience last month. Business brought me to downtown Chicago for a couple of days, so one evening I hopped the train to visit. I was treated to quite a nice collection of musical pieces via his server - along with some wonderful local pizza! While I also have U-1s, mine do not have the current PX panels and don't have the same bass projection. He's able to get darn loud levels out of his system with the Atma-Sphere electronics.
The new listening room upstairs is a wonderful new space as I had visited him years ago when Dr. West attended the local audio society meeting.

One of the things that really blew me away, is that I have 2 1/2 personal experiences that level set me for electrostatics:The Quad 2805, the Martin Logan Montis and an all-too-short listen to the ML CLX.
Each have limitations, and all are really good speakers despite them. I had chalked some up to "electrostatic limitations" - but they simply weren't there with the U-1PX's. It's forcing me to go back and re-evaluate my opinion on electrostatics. I really had no idea, even though I thought the world of electrostatics.

Ralph, the speakers moved closer together and are toed in more than when you were here. Imaging and other aspects are nicely improved. You'd like it :-)
Brian
So much music, so little time!
Glad to hear those minor suggestions helped.
