In Reply to: Planar or Electrostatic, what are the +- of each? posted by timb5881 on September 9, 2006 at 16:26:11:
as John C has suggested, electrostatics are not for you! :-))Planars IMO include Maggies and Eminent Technology LFT-8s, for instance (but I don't count large arrays of cone drivers as "planars"). Maggies are exclusively electromagnetic planar ... ETs (I believe) are hybrid, with a cone bass driver.
ETs may well be fine for rock & pop (and they are not expensive) ... I'm afraid I have no experience with them. However, cone speakers will give you "punchier" bass than what any Maggie can deliver.
If your budget can stretch to it, a pair of ready-made (they are also supplied as a kit) Siegfried Linkwitz "Orions" will give you bass down to 20hz and all the benefits of dipole sound - ie. no "box" colourations! :-))
Otherwise, Maggies with a sub (or two) will come close.
Regards,
Andy
