It's been this price since late last month. Pretty sure this is the lowest they'll go for brand new until they clear inventory. Ordered a pair for my Dad. He loved the finish. No issues with shipping.

The best deal I've seen on the Stats is from Underwood Hifi. I would reach out there.

I figured I'd post it since I didn't see that anyone else had posted it at this price.

This motion series sounds almost as transparent as an electrostat.

This model has a conventional, aluminum cone driver for the midrange and woofers and a folded motion (ribbon) tweeter. It is not an electrostatic speaker.

I prefer my speakers without static.

Electrostat headphones have great clarity/speed (archilles hill of electrostats is bass). I was interested in electrostats but they are just not practical (placement/maintenance) & not as dynamic for home theater in addition to music (you can't really fill in the treble/mids with the hybrid cone (which can have blending issues) or with a sub. It's a wall of sound but in the end, I prefer instruments like acoustic guitar sounding it's size instead of being exaggerated. I find ribbon tweeters & wide dispersion speakers that still retain great imaging to be a good alternative.

This is a good deal on an excellent tower. Highly recommend the ML XTi line of speakers.

I have the xt line (which is just cosmetically older). They are neutral to my ears (maybe a tad warmish) but react well to the equipment you pair them. I tried them with parasound and they sounded really good. Same goes with marantz. However, they sounded horrible with emotiva amp so definitely stay away with that combination.

They use a unique tweeter in their speakers

Do not buy them! Let the price drop further Stick Out Tongue

Unfortunately, they are too large for my space.
