Thanks for the input.

With my new (to me) 13A's and their incredible bass, I've been rediscovering my early 90's electronica. Turns out these guys are pretty good sound engineers and their bass heavy polyrhythmic compositions really make these speakers shine. Still love my classical and jazz, but if I want to do some...

Hey Forum! I'm considering replacing my Def Tech C/L/R 2002 center speaker with the ESL C to better match my Ascents used as fronts in a 5.2 system. The Def Tech is pretty capable, so would appreciate your opinion on the upgrade or experience with the ESL C. Thanks!

So much to love about that room in addition to what sounds like remarkable acoustics and well thought out system. Very impressive vinyl collection and Where'd you get that quilt:-)

Good to know from from an actual objective comparison. Maybe someday..... Thanks for the reply.

Sorry to be a doubter, as I considered buying the GAIA's for my Expression 13A's. Then I listened to "The British Audiophile's" take on speaker tweaks and went with these anti vibration pads (for my hardwood floor): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN891L6G?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I also...

Incredible system and aesthetically beautiful. How you managed to have so many components look so uncluttered is remarkable. Great cable management must be part of it. Thanks for the posting!

Thanks so much. That info really helps.

GAIA's web site indicates that their feet are available in the Expressions 3/8 16 size. They also ask if the threads are "recessed" Could you enlighten me on this. Thanks! From their Wizard: GAIA II with 3/8-16 threads. Long 3/8-16 thread is available for models with recessed thread. Check to...

Nice set up! Your owners manual has some basic thoughts on placement: Motion_XT_Motion_Series_Owners_Manual_REV1.pdf

Am I an audiophile yet? Just bought this amp and preamp combo from the great guy who sold me the Expressions. Much more muscular and rich sound compared to the HK 3490. Getting some nice Audioquest inter connects and a Cambridge streamer (with USB A & B inputs) to complete the system. Feel like...

Some of the most beautiful music ever composed:

Even more thrilled! I seem to be getting luckier in my old age (good things come to those that wait:-). I've recently purchased an almost new pair of Expression 13A's (only about 22 hrs on the speakers) for $8000. They came complete with original boxes and the local owner even threw in the ARC...

So cool!!!!

Pease excuse my ignorance. I had to do a little research on passive crossovers before replying. Also, presume you're referring to the comment about bi wiring the home theater fronts (Energy RC 70b). No I did not open up the speaker to by pass the speaker's crossovers.
