To me, electrostats in general don't have the "impact" of other speakers. Plus, they are prohibitively expensive. I think you can get as good imaging (their strong suite) with a lot less money.
I have yet to find anything in the budget of my AL-IIIs that come close to the imaging & realism.
I've heard some fantastic ML systems, but the cost is just so out there. Now, if I won last nights $640 million Powerball lottery, I would be calling Bob right now to order a pair of his new ALS speakers...damn the cost!
