Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: Electrostats are slow

First and foremost, you have to be happy with the music reproduced by whatever speakers you choose. I too, had 2 pairs of EL 57"s and a pair of El 63's. These electrostats, overall, sounded VG ( midrange) at lower levels with little in the way of dynamics. I also had 2 + 2's, 3 pairs of various Maggies and own 4 pairs of various Lowthers. I also have a pair of Raal Lazy Ribbon tweeters to dick around with, when I have some time. This "speed' thing falls basically to the laws of Physics plus some other driver parameters, like construction, selected materials etc. We are not at an Indy 500 race, we want the best musical reproduction possible. The "speed" of the driver--both acceleration and STOP is very important. IMHO, field coil compression drivers with Beryllium diaphragms are very tough to beat. I am sure this debate is far from over!!
