Roger Modjeski agrees that the subwoofer used in the Beveridge 2SW is poor; he says his new one is much better. I think he may have also said that the amplifier had reliability issues, but I don't recall. I have read descriptions of the imaging of the Beveridge that sound quite similar to what Lew says about them. I have done very little comparison between the Soundlabs a friend has and my Stax's, but I think I can say that the Stax's create a more focussed stereo image than the Soundlabs, and give a sense of dynamics (like Lew's description of the Beveridges) (without being as loud as the SoundLabs), but you do have to stay in one spot for the magic to work.
Kent McCollum is restoring a pair of Stax F83's and a pair of F81's at the present time; at least one of these may eventually be available for purchase.
