A guy who used to post here was a proponent of Sanders electrostatic speakers over other similar types. They are "hybrid" speakers (similar to Martin Logan) with transmission line subwoofers. They also feature digital active crossovers, room correction, etc.., in an integrated system. Sanders are narrow dispersion/flat panel speakers with a narrow listening window. And because they are relatively slim narrow dispersion speakers, a very large room is not always needed. You get a lot for your money with Sanders, no doubt about it...Soundlabs speakers are wide dispersion/wide listening window AFAIK. Wide dispersion speakers normally create "comb-filtering" problems, but the curved panels of Soundlabs speakers helps to spread sound out while minimize comb-filtering problems. This type of speaker is most expensive to build, hence the high prices.
I would suggest that anyone with enough bucks to buy and use large panel speakers should try to audition different types and brands before buying.
The Magnepan 1.6 speakers I used to own produced the illusion of a big soundstage but were in fact more "directional" than I would have liked. They had a definite "sweet spot" for listening, or so I had thought. I would assume that the 30.7s are basically the same way, but I really don't know because I've never heard them.
