It's a well known fact you complete idiot that electrostatics are bass
light. It's a natural consequence of their very construction.


You'd need to qualify 'bass light'. If an absolute term then the vast
majority of the speakers on the market qualify for that description. The
smooth LF response of an electrostatic makes it seem 'bass light' to many
used to honking cabinets - but that's a different matter. Electrostatics
tend to be more room sensitive too than some 'conventional' designs.
