Thanks guys, pretty excited to hear these classics.
Art, just look at your post count :jawdrop:
Well the ES14's are have arrived but I've yet to hear them, I've had some problems on the left channel of my Destiny 2 meaning its been sent off for repair. So far the technician looking at it has been pretty unresponsive via e-mail, what is wrong with people these day?
Nice report, Gavin.
Just glad to be able to listen to music once more, having just the one amp mean't going Cold Turkey>
:yuck:
I owned the m12.2 which i really respected But never really fell in love with fully, they timed better than every speaker i've owned besides the Totem Arros, and they had a infectious intensity about them, that was very suprising for a sub 1k speaker, of all the incarnations the m12.2 is probably the most talented and technically sound of the bunch, but they can sound a bit mechanical, musically i still find the es11&es14 the most musically enjoyable, we all know the m12i were a complete mess.I also owned a pair of els3 which i loved the most i sold them to a friend that still has them on his main system paired up with a old Creek 4340 series amp&cdp, the els3 is 1 of the best budget designs of all time, and i feel they should be reconized as the true arrival of trully satisfying modern budget speakers with a nice taste of hiend....
I've heard of other people not liking them....its rare but it happens, it may depend on what you were driving them with and source as well, the wrong combo could get them to sound a little metallic and a lil thin in the upperbass...That is interesting I couldn't take to the els3's at all. Big fan of most of the epos range especially the es series but I thought the els3 were a hopeless budget speaker, really disappointed me at the time because I so much wanted an 11/12 type speaker in a smaller package. They were beaten easily when I had them with speakers costing half their new cost, and I had to try 2 separate sets just to be sure.
