Hello, I am wondering how many people have gone from panels. IE,planers,electrostats etc and why?I have had stats for years but have heard some woderfull speakers that weren't and may be questioning myself at this time.I have loved this hobby for over 30 years and at that time found stats to offer more than the old box speakers that I owned or tried.Thanks for any help and opinions. Sincerely,Bob

Thanks for the responces guys.As far as music Zuki i listen to jazz,jazz fusion,female singers,steely dan type music,just not into country or rap.I did get a chance to listen to some box speakers,they were Devore silver backs i think and Duevel Jupitors and they were very impresive.I was just amazed at the dynamics with low power tube amps.they were just totally effortless.I really like my logans.My friend brought over an integrated that change my mind.I guess as you get older(51)maybe things in your hearing change and it makes you wonder.Thanks Again,Bob
I went from Vandersteen 2C's in the early 1980's to Maggie IIIa's and then in 1990 to Monolith IIIx's and just recently changed to Sonus Faber Cremona's. The thing I miss most is the "bigger" sound of the panel speakers. You need a big room but the panels seem to sound fuller, especially when not in the listening area. Not better or worse, just different.WAF is great with the Cremona's and I will likely keep them for a bit, but at times I do miss the panel sound.
I owned many stats planars ribbons still use ribbons.But I find horns to be so much better.The stats I owned where considered some of the best.But the horns are far above the performance of any stat system I have owned or heard.As always YMMV
i own both... box speakers and panelsnothing does the highs like a true ribbon.
not all of my panel speakers are ribbons
i can play some of the box speakers louder (not all of the boxed speaker is boxed) open back mids on some
considered a dedicated sub and your panels ?
what boxed speaker do you like ? (horns/monitors/hybrids)
what equipment was used with the box speakers ?
