Cody, this is a kinder, gentler GSC than in earlier times, but FYI your ingenuous intro is just the sort that used to draw heavy fire here. The only reason I have responded at all is because you got me thinking about what I do and don't like about electrostatic speakers. What I like is the incisive articulation they can have at times. What I don't like is that they tend to stress and fall apart and or compress easily, also they tend to be tonally challenged. Of the 'stats I've heard, the best by far are the big Sound Labs. Of the Martin Logans I've heard, the "best" were the old CLS, which serve as great examples of both the best and the worst of "stats as a genre, IMO. I did like my old RTR ESR6 HF arrays - when they were paralleled with old, paper Peerless tweeters.
BTW, while I am an omnivore, musically speaking, IMO there are better ways to "evaluate components" than the source you cited.
Best regards,
