Electrostatic Speakers

Roger Sanders built his first ESL (ElectroStatic Loudspeaker) in 1972.  He quickly appreciated the superior performance that a massless electrostatic offered over conventional magnetic speakers with regards to low distortion, lack of resonances, and incredible detail.  But their problems of limited output, inability to produce deep powerful bass, and unreliability have kept him busy improving them over the last 30+ years.

The result of this lifetime of work is that Sanders Sound Systems ESLs are the only ones to have solved all the  problems and limitations of ESLs.  Roger's "Ultrastat" panels will play at ear-bleeding levels, cannot be arced, do not use or need protective circuitry, are immune to humidity, dust, and dirt, and do not need or use dust covers.  They can be driven by multi-thousand watt amplifiers without damage.  They are more rugged than conventional magnetic drivers.  They do not fail and are so robust that they come with a lifetime warranty.

Sanders Sound hits the Sweet Spot - AudiogoN

A major part of his work was devoted to dealing with the issue of high frequency "beaming" in large, planar loudspeakers.  To deal with this issue, he invented the free-standing, curved, electrostatic panel.  This made it possible to widely-disperse the high frequencies from a large ESL.  He published this invention in Speaker Builder Magazine in 1980.  The Martin Logan company adopted his technique in their ESLs.

Roger expected that his wide-dispersion, curved panels would perform better than narrow-dispersion, planar speakers. But he discovered that the curved panel was inferior to a planer one with respect to transient response, imaging, frequency response, speaker placement, and output.    These problems caused by wide-dispersion speakers spraying their sound all over the room instead of being directed at the listener.  As a result, in a wide-dispersion speaker, the listener hears the room with all its confused and delayed reflections instead of the superb sound available directly from a planar ESL.   Roger won't compromise the quality of the sound by using his wide-dispersion design, so he abandoned it in favor of planar ESLs.  The sound from his planar speakers are superior to all others with regard to transient response, 3-dimensional imaging, and frequency response.

Full-range, crossoverless ESLs are widely believed to be the "holy grail" of loudspeakers.  In theory, using a single drive to reproduce the entire audio range, without the problems introduced by crossovers, would be ideal.  Roger has built many such speakers.  But the laws of physics cannot be circumvented.  A full-range ESL simply cannot produce deep, powerful bass or have generally high output and full dynamic range.

Roger spent 17 years developing woofer systems that would blend seamlessly with a massless ESL to produce outstanding bass and end the frustrating limitations of full-range ESLs.  His well-designed, hybrid systems are far superior to a full-range, crossoverless ESL.

While building and selling full-range ESLs is easier and less costly than a hybrid, Roger won't compromise .  Therefore all Sanders speakers are hybrids.

To eliminate the usual customer complaint about having to buy two amplifiers to operate bi-amped speakers, Sanders supplies a bass amplifier as part of each speaker system.  The customer then only has to provide a single amplifier of his choice just as they would for any conventional speaker system.

These amplifiers are not cheap, underpowered, or Class D switching amplifiers.  They are multi-hundred watt, Class AB amplifiers that are very expensive, offer the finest in performance, come in beautiful chassis, and will drive the speakers with full dynamic range at realistic, concert hall levels.

When a speaker system is put in a room, it will interact with the room and this will have adverse effects on the sound.  Even a "perfect" speaker system will be degraded by the room.  It therefore is essential for all speakers to be adjustable to compensate for room effects.  The electronic crossovers used in Roger's speaker systems have extensive controls to allow the user to adjust the speaker to compensate for the flaws in his listening room.

It is a large table-top kaleidoscope, designed for the American Folk Art Museum in NYC. This new sculpted body in Curly Maple and Moradillo, utilizes a very large object case filled with all that you can imagine. The interior imagery will draw you in blow you away

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

BEHIND THE SCENES    

The cabinets come in natural cherry, natural walnut, and natural maple woods.

 

They are finished without staining and sealed with a clear coat to give the wood a very natural look. 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

  

 

The back walls of the cabinets are cut so that they have the perfect curve to meet Roger's transmission line specifications.
