I'll chime in with my ESM-3 pair. Bought them cheap to flip, but really like them.
I’ll add a + to the ESM-3. At the local thrift store they had Energy 22 Reference and ESM-3 at the same time and I bought both. Both were great speakers, but I preferred the ESMs. And this is after sampling an ESM-1 pair with the stitched woofer. I prefer the 3’s. I have new foams for them and I think they are staying around. The ESM line I think goes overlooked. Fine line of speakers from Energy.
