Frankly, is there better than a Sound Lab ?

Oh I looked for, unluckilly they imported only the model one in France... You can find ML in France but few models !

Whn I will have time as I have others projects than hifi for the months to come, I will try the LX Linkwitz design as I have already the ScanSpeak 10F/84 ! Very near from the Seas driver and maybe even better !

But for sure one day I will offer my ears an ESL ! One needs two speakers imho for different needs !

Not only speakers my friend you might need also another
amp for different music. It sounds logical as this came from
my tube guru. He use to say vocals 2A3 or 300B, More dynamic
music 845 & I do agree when I listen to his system

Cheers
 
I take the staring of Frankenstein Junior between the sparkes and flics from tubes to ESL ! LOL !


Waiting for this moment, I keep My Chord amp which is stable at 2 ohms and less on my Boston Lynnfield (1.9 at 120 Hz with steep phase angle even below :superman: )... Oups I'm off topic, I have to ask the original poster !

250 W at 8 ohms , 800 at 2 ohms ! Very clear but not harsch ! I like it ! output Mosfet are sorted... not too much to complains !

cheers :drink:

So with the few testimonials, I believe all the Sound Lab owners leaved this bar and keeped their speakers ! 😎... and now have enough time for DIY whiskey !
 
Soundlab ESL

There is some disagreement about the sound quality of the Soundlab ESL, as there are disagreements on the sound of any speaker. There is no one perfect or best speaker. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

From Perfectionist Audio, page 19.
The Sound Lab electrostatic speaker
response was plotted on a different scale so it is
difficult to make a direct comparison but, as you
can see, there is little need for comparison or
elaboration. This is a demonstrably inaccurate
speaker which emphasizes frequencies in the
range where human hearing is most sensitive. It’s
that “electrostatic detail” thing again with even
more emphasis on certain frequencies. The ziggyzaggy
response curve is probably the result of the
tympanic energy storage in the stretched
diaphragm or possibly from the electronics that
couple the diaphragm to the amplifier.
