I am most greatful E-Stat for that information ,which may in some part explain why , and on a number of occasions , Soundlabs panels for my part sounded a tad 'Overblown' and 'Confused' during large scale passages of music ( Mahler 5th for example ) akin to cone flap which can sometimes manifest in dynamic drivers , a phenomena that I had not previously experienced whilst listening via both CLS II and CLX's .
I feel that I must also add an without reservation co-desil that I consider the Soundlabs that I have experienced to be of truely Stella sonic proportions and that my point is more one of high quality similarity than disparity with Martin Logan full ESL panel transducers .
