a few years ago I used
Final electrostats. the big ones. (used to be the 1.4 now is 1000i) I think I posted before about this some time ago, oh well, they rock. The company has switched owners and is now totally bad taste crappy. (previous owner and cool person M. Smits - where is he? Having lunch with Burguss??
) If one can get past the emesis inducing initial presentation, and less than completely satisfying experience with these people, these are actually worth checking out. My old pair is now in the post studio neighbouring the altiverb ppl. they do big orchestral scores and other film stuff. We tested against a pair of big Genelecs, and they ate the genelecs for lunch. (like they do most other hifi and studio systems) They do take some time to get used to, because of the total absence of cone and driver distortion. (which as you all know is percieved as loudness by our brain) Dynamic response and stereo placement is out of this world, and also takes some getting used to. Anyone worried about low end response, 40 Hz is what we could clearly distinguish. Both dynamics and tonal information was clearly there. Something I've yet to experience on any other system.
I still miss those big ones.
Now where is mr. Smits when you need him?
