My sense is that at any price point at roughly $5-$10k or higher, one can always assemble a better sounding Mch system than a stereo.
While we are both electrostatic enthusiasts, I find the discontinuity of hybrids distracting. When most instruments in the symphony require the use of both monopolar woofers and dipolar panels to reproduce their respective ranges - each exhibiting rather different directivity - the resulting loss of coherency compromises the sense of realism for me.
Different strokes I guess. It's been that way for me since I first heard Dayton-Wrights in '76. :)
