Best Electrostatic loudspeaker?

Many of us have found that nothing make the magic happen like a pair of Electrostatics. It's been an evolutionary road for me, starting with various dynamic systems, then ribbon/dynamic hybrids, then full range planar magnetics (Maggies), then Electrostatics. So those of you with experience in Electrostatics, which do you think is (are) the best designed and executed example(s) of the breed?

I think, that ML "Statements" are best to date...mated with multiple VTL "Votans"...Unbeatable!

The BEST is difficult to qualify. All of those mentioned are noteworthy, but don't forget the Audiostatics. Their only real competition is from Soundlab. Too bad they're not more readily available here in the US.

For me the Acoustat 1+1,2+2. Model 2 and Model 3.Full range and dont need subwoofer. Downside need lots of power. But the sonics are amazing.

Quad 989 vs. Soundlab Millennium 2? Would appreciate any comments, experience or insights reflecting on the sonic tradeoffs of these two. I am about to take the plunge and have narrowed it down to these. Thank you, [email protected] or Tel & Fax: 805 434 9220 California -- Call any time.
