You can have the ML's that aren't the "Great American Speaker Company"....I'd take the Sanders which is MADE IN THE USA.
Oh yeah!!!

Rich, that's a good point. You are free to give your money to whom ever you want. I know we keep running over the same ground, but Gayle Sanders sold the company to an investor, not a hobbyist. They want to maximize the value of their investment. You don't seem to like it, so won't buy ML. I respect that.
But another theme in this thread is longevity of support. I wish him health and happiness, but Roger Sanders is not a young guy. How much longer will he be around? I hope a long time. But the reality is that ML will be making the electrostatic speakers a lot longer, as I don't see their $200 home theater speakers taking off as the bread and butter of the company for a long, long time.

Thank God we still live in a free country that offers us this choice!
Just barely but we don't need to go there...

I agree. I did say "still", didn't I?

Well...
Business cases can always be tilted to justify an end.
I wonder if they ever considered making an Xstat driver that is truly backward compatible for the aging CLS models? After the development effort, chances are the parts necessary would be from the current stock bin.
This is truly the end of an era.

It always surprises me how so many who profess to love this brand seem unable to grasp the significance of this simple statement.

Companies are born and then morph or die. I think people are just at different phases of the Kubler-Ross model.
Good point. I think I am almost past anger and approaching acceptance.

Sanders Sound Systems is a corporation. As with any corporation, personnel will change from time to time. When Roger finally retires, the corporation will continue.
Happy New Year!

Just to be clear....
My love affair with elecrostatics started at a very young age predating ML by a number of years. That said, I've been an ML faithful for over 20 years. My reference system is not likely to all of a sudden change just because ML decides to stop supporting us. That's just plain silly...
There are plenty of opportunities out there that offer the allure of electrostatic sound, but none have yet to prove themselves worthy of my undivided attention
My love and respect of the CLS' performance is evident in every article and review I write. That is also not likely to change. :bowdown:

Sorry to burst your bubble but...
The SL3 and Sequel 2 panels are definitely not interchangeable. The SL3 panel is taller and slightly narrower. This was confirmed by Jim Power, back in the day.
I had Sequel 2's many years ago and opted to "upgrade" to Quest z's, and later, ReQuests.

ML has reversed this policy and are now servicing older equipment once more.
True and how comfortable to hear..
How ever it's good to know that we are not totally depending on ML's future strategies. This "local service" could actually be as it seems a cheaper option to extend our enjoyment with our ML products. Which ever way very welcome news

In one of the other forums that i read, someone came on this thread DIDN'T read the either thing or the "oops we blundered" thread and starting in state, perform no host actions, announcing how ML gear was in it's demise, this is a horrible thing and so on.
basically everything that we all said
he was quickly corrected, but how many have looked at the top of this thread and moved on? It might serve Justin well to edit the first post in this thread saying that this original statement is not the current state of things.

Can't change history, only the future? :bowdown:
Done and done, thanks for the suggestion. Maybe a moderator can lock down this thread?
