Non-ES speakers closest to electrostatic sound?
"Alex" wrote in message ...
For those audiophiles who'd like to own a Quad 988 but lack the budget,
or the room, or both, which of the non-ES speakers come closest to that
magical electrostatic sound? [Answers from friends have ranged from
well known current brands (Dynaudio) to discontinued models I didn't
know about (DCM Time Window).]
I understand Quad have their own box speakers now. You'd expect them to
produce the family sound, but do they? How do they do against Proacs,
Dynaudios, Spendors? (I don't have a Quad dealer near me to check them
out myself.)
Please nominate your candidates for a poor man's 988, poor in money but
more importantlly poor in square feet.
**The old Duntech Crown Prince. Very ELS-like. With bass.
