RE: Interesting

I will start then by saying that for ultimate transparency, truth in timbre and most accurate reproduction of the input waveform (within dynamic limits) you cannot beat a good electrostatic or planar magnetic speaker. What they lack; slam, headroom, sometimes bass etc. are things that are often not really material to great sound. For some full-range models there is no better coherence and faithfulness to the recording to be found in all the most important ways. The delineation of soundstages is equally impressive.

THat said, there are also extrememly good conventional and conventional speakers and hybrids.

The best all-around pure ESLs I have heard were from Infinity, Genesis and Wisdom Audio.
