This video offers a rare look and explanation of the inside of the Sound Lab ESL (electrostatic) speaker with Dr. Roger West, filmed in November of 2023.
My first effort making a video lacks a polished technique, but rather than delay, I feel this interview best to be shared as is. I intend to improve with my next efforts. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Many thanks to Roger and Soundlab to support this rare interview and chance to see inside this mysterious speaker technology.
Those for whom it is the first time to hear of electrostats, you may have more questions and those questions are welcome. In fact all questions and inquiries are welcome. And please look forward to more informative videos on Sound Lab with Dr. West coming soon.
A very big thanks to ShinRec for providing accurate Japanese translation:

Thank you for watching and commenting. Please stay tuned as I can prepare more to share. Don't hesitate to inquire, a new website showing the many options for personal customization is coming soon - and the real re-introduction of Sound Lab may begin.

Fascinating, creative and genus implementation of what to me is the optimum way to bring music into our listening rooms. There is tech here that makes Sound Lab the smartest approach in electrostatic speaker design. I'm a firm believer in getting rid of the "box" . . . as a matter of fact a great deal of R&D and cost goes into eliminating resonances in typical box speakers not to mention the sometimes overwhelming cost of making them look nice! My deepest respect and admiration to Dr. West and his team. I hope one day soon to avail myself of a pair Sound Lab ESL's ! It's ironic and rather a shame that they don't get more well deserved recognition in the audio press. NICE video . . . please bring us some more about Dr.West's genius :-) . . . greatly appreciated !

Yes, Roger has indeed found several special answers to the challenge of electrostats, and I can assure you that nobody else has followed his path and very unlikely anyone will, because it was a long rocky road full of determination and endless trial and error and the implementation of which requires a love of the results seeing the satisfaction in true music lovers faces when they listen the first time.... and not the 'business' - because this really is a labor of love. Hope more might have access soon to hear. Please don't hesitate to ask anything.

I’ve owned, Quad, Martin Logan, Soundlab and Sanders. The Laws of Physics apply and my vote goes to Mr. Roger Sanders.

Fantastic video, thank you Chris and Roger! Looking forward to meeting you Chris at the 2024 SouthWest Audio Fest. And, Hi Brett! In my opinion SoundLabs do more things right THAT REALLY MATTER than any other speakers. I am a loudspeaker manufacturer and I told Roger West that my hope is to build the SECOND BEST speakers. In my opinion first place has already been taken by SoundLab. SoundLabs have more natural timbre, better low-level detail, better coherence, and are less fatiguing for long-term listening than anything else out there. Set up properly, they sound more like real voices and instruments than anything else, including speakers costing many times their price. They are the most intelligent loudspeaker design I have ever encountered.
