Oooo, I'd love to experience that, my favourite 'different ' girl on planars
Well that I've not done, but I can thoroughly recommend her on Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grands If you're ever passing...

I do recall electrostatic planar speakers as pioneered by Philips were pretty good, but that was yonks ago, and I think that such things now are quite expensive.
One of the nicest systems I've ever heard was a friend's Quad ESL63s electrostatics, which are quite weak on low frequencies, they drop off at about 50Hz, so he had them partnered with sub woofer. His amp was a fairly modest Sony but the sheer amount of music the ESLs produced was so impressive. Listening to recordings I knew well I could actually hear Brendel's fingers touch the keyboard, his foot on the pedal, and more annoyingly his out-of-tune humming on occasion.
I would love a pair of ESLs but I'd never get them past her indoors.

Pretty sure I couldn't get them past the bank balance

Always fancied a pair of Magnaplanars My current Vienna Acoustics are mad. There's a track on the Christina and the Queens album that makes the room shake even at very reasonable volumes. The extension is crazy. They are quite large(ish) though

I have a feeling my tastes might be somewhat different and my ears less discerning than most here but Take California by the Propellerheads is my go to test for a new amp or headphones.Which begs the question which album / track do you use to test your hi-fi choices, there is normally one or two that push all your buttons

I ended up with the Duetta's but in the end couldn't accommodate them at my old house so sold them
So Christina and the Queens would be up there in a hurry.
