I finally got to seriously listen to electrostats, a pair of Martin Logan Expression 13As at a Magnolia hooked up to an Arcam SR250 Stereo Reciever (I believe) at a Magnolia. I got to listen to some fo my reference tracks on Tidal. The salesperson assured me they were dialed in perfectly. Impression: TRASH!! The stage was relatively wide, it was quite tall and not forward. There was some depth and good air, Imaging was mediocre but not terrible. The bass was MUDDY and ill-fitting TRASH. Okay, maybe it can be tuned. UNRESOLVING! Low level details buried. Wasn’t good at delineating overlapping sounds. Top end extension - JUNK! Extremely unsatisfying, muted, veiled, etc peaks. NO thrill in the highs. BAD. Would not pay $1,500, let alone $15,000!! What happened? Is the integrated just trash? Can you help us understand your ranking system for audio equipment? Does it go BAD -> JUNK -> TRASH -> CRAP or do I have the hierarchy wrong? tmtomh, Indydan and esldude 2 1 Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment

I serve up facts and truth. That’s all. And we see the results. Here’s the thing, I’ve explained why electrostats suck and in response I’m told that I have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m told about how wonderful they are. Then I go to listen to some expensive ones seriously, and it turns out that they SUCK. That doesn’t mean I won’t admit it if I ever do come across some that don’t suck. If you're going to troll, at least try to keep your stories internally consistent.

I'm confused by your use of the term "neuro-typical". According to Wikipedia: Quote Neurotypical or NT, an abbreviation of neurologically typical, is a neologism widely used in the autistic community as a label for people who are not on the autism spectrum. If this is correct, applying it to yourself seems quite strange. wgscott and RBM 1 1 Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment
