Updating the SoundLab Ultimate 1 electrostatic loudspeakers

Our Soundlabs are temporarily gutless – we sent their innards back to the factory for a couple of upgrades:

The Soundlab Ultimate loudspeakers, with Kharma’s Mini Exquisites in front and a EDGE Signature One monoblock amp behind

The Soundlab Ultimate loudspeakers, where the transformer goes when it is here.

The U1’s should be a good deal more efficient when they get reassembled – and their sound will be as good (or better!) as it was before.

Can’t wait!

A complete report will be forthcoming when we get everything going again and broken in…

The Sound Lab Ultimate U-1 and the Kharma Mini Exquisites

or… “Running Out of Room Here at Audio Federation”.

or… “The Beauty and the Beast”

or… “It really sounds pretty darn good, considering…”

or… “So, we keep stacking speakers choo-choo style like this and we are going to find ourselves to be sitting nearfield”

These pictures were taken right before a demo of the U1 electrostatics moved the Kharma loudspeakers to the side.

The Mini Exquisites sounded really good with the EDGE Signtaure One amplifiers – even though the Sound Lab loudspeakers were right behind them… more or less.

But we have no choice; we’re running out of room here unless we do something radical.

And Neli has her eye on getting in some MORE speakers…..?

I liked it better when she was collecting amplifiers….
