Sombetzki ESL Home - Conclusion
" The Sombetzki ESL Home is based on the realization that unadulterated reproduction requires an acoustic environment dominated by direct sound. As a "transducer between the worlds" it combines the acoustic advantages of loudspeakers and headphones: from the loudspeaker the correct placement in the acoustic environment, from the headphones on the other hand the acoustic coupling close to the ear.

" The sound result at the sweetspot fascinated us so much that we also presented the unique "Personal Speaker" in the ABSOLUTE FIDELITY section. "
" However, if everything fits, then you are rewarded with a sonic presence and tonal correctness, as usual sound transducers can hardly ever reach in much higher price regions. "
" The Sombetzki ESL Home plays with its superb, perfectly homogeneous, over-all quality in a league that is normally reserved for superclass loudspeaker with a very clear five-figure price tag. "

STATEMENT
" An exciting concept is entering the scene: the electrostatic speaker reproduces the electrical signals which are supplied to it - enormously detailed and homogeneously - for only one listener.
The sound directly captures the listener with its immediacy, the surroundings are hardly perceptible.
The analogies with the performance of a high-class headphone are obvious - the comparison with an acoustic magnifying glass is also close.
Moreover, a believable stage is created in front of the viewer's mind, in which every musician, every instrument, is clearly positioned.
And by the way, the ESL Home refutes the well-known prejudice already with the first powerful drum beat: Electrostatic speaker are only made for gentle classical listeners. "
