An interesting new ESL model has launched in Australia by the renowned Halcro brand, along with new amps.
For those well heeled, the new amps clearly are a good match for an ESL.
But what caught my eye is the new large-panel, full-range ESL called the Eclipse ($55K). With a no-crossover design, I'm intrigued to learn more about this panel and how they deal with resonances. From the initial reviews, seems it's impressive, but then unless one is already used to large ESL sound, hard to gauge whether it's any better than a CLS, CLX or Monolith/Neolith.
The claimed low-end extension seems impressive, but given the dipole nature, not likely able to go very loud down low, and probably has a very skewed power curve.
Here is the Halcro announcement page: http://halcro.com/introducing-halcro-eclipse-amplifiers-and-electrostatic-loudspeakers/
And a review of the show: https://www.soundstageaustralia.com/index.php/features/86-melbourne-international-hi-fi-show-2017
Hey @amey01 did you perchance go to a show in AU and hear these yet?
