Final .3 Electrostatics... _WOW_!!! (1 Viewer)

[Mike Knapp]

David,

I heard them with a tube pre-amp and a McIntosh amp driving them. They did sound nice. I must tell you that I am not really partial to eletrostatic speakers. The Finals did seem a little less brittle than many of the Martin Logans I have heard though.

The 360 degree sound radiation is an issue for me. They do make a lively soundstage though and the Finals were very smooth sounding....much better than I had expected when I saw them, perhaps due in part to the tube pre-amp.

Mike K.,

Was that a Vandersteen sub I saw in your pic above? If so, any comments?

Nope, That is the Adire Rava, a sweet little baby built for speed. It is a sealed cabinet and uses the 12" Shiva driver. For music it is a dream....fast, articulate and smooth. I have one on my system that I use for my two channel listening.
