    MrAcoustat Keep It Simple system

    Hi i am new to this forum my name is André MrAcoustat Sévigny i'm from Quebec Canada i have been an audiophile for more than 40 years with Acoustat electrostatic speakers for the last 28 of those years it's not that i don't like cone speakers it's just that i prefer full range panels because i think you get MORE for your money with panels here is my Keep It Simple system.

    Subwoofers or no Subwoofers

    Well my friend Jocelyn the Acoustat rebuilder & modifier gave me a call today he knows that i'm not to crazy about subwoofers and wanted to let me know that he had bought two JL Fathom F-112 subwoofers to add to his system he wants me to go over one day next week i personally don't like subwoofers with full range electrostatics because they are very hard to integrate BUT i know if he tells me that it's good i trust his ears so i will give it a shot next week and get back to you guy's this system was already the best system that i have heard in more than 40 years dollar for dollar before the subwoofers add on where talking about a 40k system here the rest of the system is as follows.

    Plinius SA-250 MK1V - Promitheus mono preamps - Ayon CD-1 modified cd player - Acoustat Spectra 6600S highly modified speakers - and finaly 2 JL Audio F-112 Fathom subwoofers.

    I would be surprised if a pair of JL's did not improve the sound of his system.

    Add my vote as well. I have two JL subs and they made a huge improvement.
