About the 10e

The Sanders 10e is the flagship hybrid electrostatic speaker system from Sanders Sound Systems, designed by Roger Sanders after decades of research. It features a flat electrostatic panel for midrange and treble, combined with a 10-inch aluminum cone woofer in a transmission line bass enclosure for deep, precise bass. The system includes a proprietary Magtech amplifier (500 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms, 900 watts into 4 ohms) and a digital loudspeaker management system with room correction and DSP options to tailor sound to room acoustics and personal preferences. The crossover frequency is set at 170-172 Hz with a steep 48 dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley filter to seamlessly integrate bass and panel. The electrostatic panels use Sanders' Ultrastat ESL technology, which is highly reliable, immune to humidity and dust, and covered by a lifetime warranty. The speakers have a sensitivity of about 90-94 dB and can be driven to very high volume levels without distortion or damage. The system is bi-amped, with separate amplification for bass and electrostatic panels; one Magtech amplifier is included with the price, and a second amplifier can be purchased for full bi-amplification. Dimensions per speaker are approximately 15" W x 18" D x 69" H, weighing about 82-90 lbs. The 10e is praised for its extremely low distortion, wide dynamic range, precise imaging, and minimal coloration, making it one of the most accurate home playback systems available.
