Recently, I established a 2nd residence in SF and have set up a new system based on Sound Lab 's latest and smallest electrostatic speakers, the Ultimate 545's. Given my love of electrostatics, and the small size of the room, this has proven to be an ideal choice. Today, I took delivery of a new pair of Pass Labs XA-60.8 amps, replacing Aye MXR Twenty's, and am extremely pleased. WBF members who would like to hear the system would be welcome. Please send a PM.

Sound Labs are not advertised nor easily auditioned. I have encountered many audiophiles who say they heard them once long ago, and they remember the experience vividly and fondly. Let me know when you are next in SF. I am listed on their website.
Thanks,
Tom
I remember hearing a pair of Sound Labs at a Stereophile Audio Show in Los Angeles several years ago. For me, it was easily the best sounding, transparent, goose-bumped presentation at the hotel. I'll always remember the French version of Les Miserables being played. Oo-la-la.
W&T, thanks for your response, and yes, that is something I have heard before. As a long time planar lover, 20 years ago, my research led me to Sound Lab speakers. I bought my 1st pair off Audiogon, unheard, and have never regretted it. Having become a dealer, and experiencing many different models over the years, my enthusiasm has only increased. They have only gotten better! And, with the current 545 versions, a large measure of the magic is now possible in a much smaller package. They are not for every listener, but I continue to be thrilled. IMHO they are the speaker for the true music lover.
