Certainly a challenge that Scott would likely take up, but then I'd have to build the prototypes, lucky me hey .Scott thats a challenge for your next design
I have to say that these speakers are a truly wonderful build. Great work there Charlie, I like the looks and build quality very much. I still have a fondness for ESL's but I gave up on trying to integrate a cone sub-woofer with mid/treble electrostatic panels and get the slower reacting cone to fully match the speed of the ESL panels. At one time with my ER Audio ESLIII's I thought I had cracked it but then a fellow mate of mine came over for a listen and brought along his classical music trained son with him and he instantly picked up on the speed mismatch. Me I could not discern any speed mismatch (perhaps something to do with my age?) but had to bow to his superior trained ear. It would be interesting to find out if the TL approach would resolve this issue. Something to ponder on.
I know Martin Logan sell a lot of their ESL's with an integrated sub, but having heard a couple pairs of their speakers I have not been convinced they work that well together despite all the excellent media reviews.
