I suppose so. Looks like Estat's tongue ended up stuck to the poll despite not taking my dare.
Sound Labs are very nice sounding speakers for 20th century technology. But none of them magically make the sweet spot a non issue. Not to mention they don't magically make the basic physics of bass in a room go away. There's good reason why just about every other maker of electrostatic speakers moved on to hybrid designs.
Ironically 21st century DSP technology with the Sanders 10E does fix a lot of the inherent problems with stereo playback that relate to the limits and issues of a sweet spot.
Some geezers are stuck in the 1980s and some of us are actually keeping up on cutting edge technology. It's much easier to do when you eliminate the distractions of audio bullshit like magic rocks and $40K power cords.
We have reached a point where we need rubber boots that reach up to our necks to wade through the bullshit that has taken over the high end audio industry. I would compare many of these geezer audiophiles to flat earthers but I don't want to insult the flat earthers. They at least have come up with some elaborate all be it ridiculous explanations for their bullshit. As you can see here, some of these geezer audiophiles don't even make that effort.
