Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic


I was wondering if anyone has switched from Electrostatic/Planar speakers to traditional dynamic speakers and if so, from what to what and why? Thanx!

I had Magies for over 20 years, 2A's, 2B's, 3's and Tympani IVa's. Had the Tympani's for 13 years. Thought they were great. I moved into a new house, and the wife didn't want them in the family room anymore. I was relagate to the bonus room, but it was a dedicated audio room. They didn't fit in the room. In order to sound close to right, one of the panels had to be in the doorway, partially outside the room! I decided I was tired of having to crank up Maggies so loud for them to come alive, was concerned about damaging my hearing. I switched to SET's and high sensitivity speakers, Coincident Super Eclipses, and am very happy to be able to listen at more moderate volume. They sound very good, only miss the Maggies a little.
