Stax speakers are, for starters, some of the best electrostatics
around. The "Earspeakers" are indeed extremely good. They do,
however, have one problem. You are likely to go through several sets
of them before you find a pair with good tonal balance. The sound
from the badly balanced ones can be excruciating, so this is a real
problem! Most of my information is from reading and not listening
experience. Probably the statistics(what little they're worth), and
price keep the Stax out of Stereo Review, but little of the equipment
I have found pleasing can be found associated with that magazine.
There, you get my biases free! Good luck finding a good pair. If you
do, they will be extremely accurate, and very musical sounding.
