Still, the big two issues were the main thing: tiny sweet spot and bad recordings sounding doubly bad. I agree that no speaker can make a poor recording sound better than it is; but, electrostats definitely make poor recordings sound even worse.

Ah ok. I think that you may get similar results with Magnepan speakers. Hopefully someone can suggest other speakers for you.
