My name is Tengiz, I am from Sammamish, WA. Have finally become a happy owner of ESL speakers after almost 30 years of contemplating the idea. First time I've heard about electrostats was in 1980 - I was fresh out of high school back then and could not possibly afford them. Besides, living in the USSR was not exactly to my advantage as well 
Then I completely abandoned the idea and stopped listening to quality music at all for almost 20 years - I've had other passions and hobbies to pursue.
But when I first time actually heard ESLs in 2001 it all came back to me - although I was not exactly floored by the quality thanks to very poor presentation (despite it was one of the local supposedly High-End audio boutiques). It took me several years and multiple failed attempts to finally experience the magic of electrostats and only after that I decided that I've got to have MartinLogans in my HT setup.
So, now I am a very happy owner of Vistas + Motif, but am still in the process of finding the matching surrounds that would work well in my media room.
I mostly listen to classical, jazz, blues, occasional pop/rock and my native traditional Georgian (not the state, the country) polyphonic singing. By formal education I am an Electrical Engineering/MS in Physics, during my earlier years after graduating from the university I used to be a research scientist in the field of physical acoustics (so I apologize in advance if I ever seem annoyingly technical when it comes to acoustics and electronics), then switched to the actual electrincal engineering and finally settled on computer science which I've been doing for almost 20 years now.
Thanks!
