I second the Acoustat 1+1. These are and were one of the great electrostat designs. They do need a high current amplifier. Your Bryston might do the trick but see if you can find an Acoustat TNT 200 it was built for those speakers. Or if you want something newer, try one of the newer Haflers. They are designed by Jim Strickland who helped found Acoustat. Too bad this line of speakers were sabatoged by HP from the Absolute Sound.
ESL speakers : looking for something..need help
After toying with a few different speakers in my room,
wich is my listening/computer room ( 10' by 16' )
i decided to invest some time and money on a better speaker setup.
I've already invested some good time in reading on DIY electrostatic speakers; read a few books, lots lots of websites, tried a few experiments.
Now i am up to the point where i have more money than i ever had, but much less free time on my hands.
So i must choose between fabricate my own ESLs or buy some already assembled ones!
Here is what i am looking for :
- low-mid -- > high highs drivers
(do not need good bass since i will be using and independant
subwoofer(s) )
-Height must be under 8' since the room is 8' high
but width must not exceed 2' since i do not want it to be too obstrusive.
-Must be of high quality, but i have a budget limit of near 1000-1500$ USD for the pair, i woudl buy in used form to save some $$$ without any problems ...
I was considerin M-Logan's speakers, thought i do not need the "curved" diaphragm surface at all since it is for personal listening, and i assume it makes the room accoustics alot harder to work with then completly lineair speakers
then most ML speakers have woofers on then with huge cabinets wich i dot not need/want
What other choices do i have?
any suggestions will be considered greatly :)
driving those with a pair of Bryston 2B in mono
so roughly 150W of good power
thanks all :)
