I’ve heard the ML’s you have 2X…. I’ve heard other electrostatic speakers as well. I found all of them to be flat and lifeless. I did not like them at all. Your comments have inspired a new interest to give them another shake. I know that others have posted similar praise for this type of speaker and I never understood why anyone would like them. I think Wid likes them…..? Every place I have heard them have been smaller rooms with several other speakers. I have not heard them in a larger open space. Maybe that’s why??
