Planar to dynamic, dynamic to planar, or ...

do you swing both ways? No sexual connotation intended. What is your reason for converting from dynamic to planar or vice versa? Or do you still find yourself going back and forth. I went from planar (Maggie, electrostats, Apogee) to dynamic (Hyperion) but I still consider myself more of a planar guy. I'm really eyeing the new Apogee Syngergy (way too expensive for me at the present time). OK, OK, so I swing both ways...so I said it!

cone or horn designs have a coloration i don't like. there have been a few exceptions, such as an early gradient, aerial 10t, esp bhodran and maybe a proac response 3. however, i suspect that after a period of time, i would tire of those cone designs.

once you have listened to the quad esl, it is not possible to listen to conces too long.

by the way, ribbons and planar magnetic speakers sound different than electrostatics. i prefer electrostatic--full range, but the occasional panel replacement drives me nuts.

currently i have maggies, but i miss the esls.
