Electrostatics

About electrostatics:

2. Even many readers on this devialet chat side and dealers don't know why full range electrostatics will never get SAMmed. SAM only functions below a couple of hundred Hz and compensates for the problems an alectrostatic does not have. A dynamic loudspeaker is - compared to a full range electrostatic - so heavy and therefore so slow in the reaction to the sound that distortion figures like an electrostatic are not possible. In other words: full range electrostatics simply don't need SAM. When testing a full range electrostatic speaker like a Quad ESL 2912 or 2812 think of the famous waterfall graphics: the delay in which the speakers moves and stops is incredible more absent compared to dynamic speakers. Our ears are very sensitive to such kind of distortion;

Great info, Peter.

Found simular info on the Devialet site:
What are the speakers that cannot be SAMmed?

Does this include Magnetostatic panels like my Magenepan 1.7i's as well?
I guess so, but just want to make sure.
That saves me the trouble of nagging my dealer who promised my speakers would be SAM-ed...

Thanks!
