Yes, but there are electrostatics and electostatics. One guy who heard the M40's in my house said they sounded like full range Quads. I took that as a compliment. They didn't sound that way to me, but maybe that's my aging ears.I never found Compact 7's tizzy but I did find them a little boxy sounding in a large (5,000 cubic feet) room. Actually, I believe they have a slight dip built into their upper midrange to compensate for a boost in that area produced by close room boundaries in the smaller rooms they're intended for. The M30's had none of that...they share the same tweeter with the M40's.

I have only heard the Harbeth Monitor 40s that one time with the suspect electronics, and the C7s once in London, when the srew-up happend. Shaw said I should never have listened to those, as, based on our correspondence, they weren't for me. He was right. The only way I was able to hear the 40s was through an appeal to the Harbeth discussion group, and an owner who lived about 40 miles away invited me to his home. I could hardly get into the electronics issue with him.Joe
