Sound Lab Audiophile 645 Electrostatic Speakers

Sound Lab Audiophile 645 — Full-Range Electrostatic Panels | The End of the Search

The time has come to leave your Quad ESLs, Magnepan, Diptyque, Acoustat, Final, Martin Logan, Apogee, and every other panel speaker behind.

What I am offering here is something categorically different — a pair of Sound Lab Audiophile 645 full-range electrostatic panels, which are, as you already know if you have been paying attention, the finest loudspeakers in existence.This is not hyperbole. It is the considered verdict of everyone who has lived with them.

What the press has said ?

"Sound Lab's ability not only to differentiate and delineate the tonal colours of instrument groups with the highest precision I have known, but also to reproduce the contrasting dynamics of those groups with perfect realism, is simply breathtaking. The listening experience is immensely real. Never before had any pair of loudspeakers achieved both the uniformity of a line source and the projection of a soundstage the way these panels did. Their radiating surface is such that they surpass all other loudspeakers in terms of tonality and dynamics. The energy produced is of prodigious scale and volume. The speed and immensity of scale cannot be overstated. Spatial definition is incredible, and this is simply the finest listening experience achievable in one's own home. These panels are also bass monsters. I am hearing the least compressed, swiftest in takeoff, and most natural bottom end of any loudspeakers. The bottom-end reproduction of the Sound Lab attained such speed and force that it created a pseudo vacuum effect on my eardrum the moment the bass was cut. Panels microns thick excited the air with tidal waves of bottom-end densely woven in resolutions like I had never experienced before."

"No other loudspeaker in my experience has presented a tonal balance as realistic and exquisite, from the midrange to the deep bass, as the Sound Labs. Along with the PipeDreams, the Maggies 20R, and the Avantgarde Trios, the Sound Labs belong to the handful that constitute the Court of the Great. A good number of my audiophile friends would place them at the top of that group. The Sound Lab's presentation is impressive in depth and width, wonderfully precise, supremely detailed and — unlike the Pipes or the large Maggies — grain-free at any listening level."— The Absolute Sound

"The A-3 is the most perfect embodiment to date of my ideal loudspeaker system. Never in my life have I lived with a loudspeaker that has brought and continues to bring so much pleasure, excitement, and satisfaction. In short, I am madly, passionately in love with their sound."— Stereophile

"The search for realistic sound from a pair of loudspeakers will probably end here. I have not yet heard in my listening room a loudspeaker with as high a performance-to-price ratio as the Sound Lab. Recommended? Absolutely."— Enjoy the Music

"Let electrostatic enthusiasts around the world rejoice. Let nostalgic Quad fans graduate to a serious ESL. Now that the obstacles to the ultimate experience have been removed, let the euphoria begin."
— Doug Schroeder

"In my experience, the performance of these electrostatics is in a class of its own. Owning a pair of Sound Labs is not merely an appreciation of technology and its unmatched capabilities — it is also a declaration of how serious you are in your quest for the most realistic musical reproduction. Demanding considerable amplification yet delicate in sonic terms, pushing dynamic capabilities beyond cone-driver technology, and extending spectral extremes without subwoofers, Sound Lab panels are the definitive expression of a person's quest for the most naturally sounding loudspeaker technology." — Constantine Soo, Dagogo
