I have been refining my system with Sanders 10e loudspeakers for the past several years.
I listen to both 2-channel, and home theater in this room. The Halcro preamp and amps seem transparent. I am enjoying a soundstage which is wide, deep, and clear.
Sanders Sound Systems MODEL 10e Electrostatic Speaker
Halcro DM-10
Full function preamplifier from Halcro. I got this preamp several years ago. I think it sounds and looks great.
Halcro DM-68
These monoblocs power the Sanders 10e electrostatic panels. After I got the preamp, I knew I wanted to hear what the amps would do to my system. I like the Halcro + Magtech combo better than the Magtech + EVS pairing earlier.

I've owned Sanders ESLs 2x, big fan. Re placement: get a small flashlight, hold on top of your head, pointing at the panels. Sitting in your main spot. They're angled precisely at you when the reflection is centered. That's key. Then you can experiment with chair distance, always using the flashlight method.
jond - I have found that removing power conditioners can improve sound in some cases. For example, in my setup, the Sanders Magtech amp sounds better without power conditioning. (I tried it with an Equi=Tech, Transparent, and Shunyata power products, and the bass didn't seem as deep.)
Here is some info about the Galibier Wind River speaker cables:
Hi Shosugi I am currently left with just one Cerious power cable a short one that was connecting my power conditioner. However I just reconfigured things a bit and was forced to remove the power conditioner for space reasons so no Cerious cords in use. I am using and like Furutech PCs. I've not heard of Galibier unless it's the turntable maker? I quite like the cable loom I have now with Kondo, A23, and AN UK.
Hello jond - thank you. I took a look at your system. How do you like your Cerious power cable? I see that you are using Audio Note speaker cables, and Auditorium 23 interconnect. I used A23 speaker cables several years ago, and replaced them with Galibier Wind River. Very similar tone and overall balance. In my current setup, spade connectors work better than the banana/BFA type.
