    Is tilting useful on the larger speakers?

    My experience with tilting is that it impacts mid and heights much more than bass. I had both the Summits and 13A’s tilted horizontally. Much more clarity and spaciousness.

    2 Sets of ESL's for bigger sweet spot

    this is very specific setup (not for electrostats) where you have 5 screen speakers - used for very wide screens. And what you do, is you have L-LC-C-RC-R, so basically adding 2 centers. Another option is to use (0 dg being center) 30 dg Left Front and 60dg Front Wide. You can then use Front...

    ESL15As into a PS Audio P20

    Only now seeing the thread, so probably useless post. PS Audio “high current” socket, is actually degrading the performance of your power amps, taking away 10% ov available watts and actually improving nothing in respect of better sound. Low curremt sockets just do nothing useful, but are...

    Advice on reflection from a video screen behind the speakers shining through the panel

    Panel is not an issue, but I would avoid loss black woofer section. You can see reflection below the screen, this is center, that os gloss black.

    11As or 13As?

    13A' are just better, had a chance to compare them to 11A's. Similar experience to @ttocs , I was moving from Summits, which was similar size to 11A, and was convinced that 11A will be enough. Although both will be big step up from your Aerius, mostly in bass department First - you get almost...

    ML Summits to replace Quad ESL63? v SL3?

    Summit is objectively very fine speaker, where you will see all the development between Sl3 and Summit. I would aim for Summit X, is one more step further.

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    Heard DLBC in 2 installation - not fit for purpose. Maybe for some living room setup. Sounded like poorly implemented MSO. ART is different, have heard it in 5.1 setup on Storm [YG Acoustics speakers .... ] and it was amazing, how it transformed, what would normally be awful HT with randomly...

    Using Center channel speakers as Rears

    Nothing really prohibits from using C speaker also in different place. Good speaker is a good speaker. There are many great installations with same speaker in 7.1, although usually people spend more on L-C-R than surrounds. Some things to consider: - ESL-C [and Focus] are specific. I would...

    This is the tech explained - French geek Arnaud [trinnov] talking to Gene from Audioholics. BTW this is how measurement pattern looks like - half day work [4 x 5 x 3 different heights = 60 measurement positions ... ]

    Thanks a lot. It was almost exactly 1 year, journey started on ISE 2023 [smth like CEDIA] and next week there is ISE 2024.

    and this is L-C-R control measurement in MLP - this is just for calibration purposes - target curve is flat. Crossover at 80Hz.

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    It is real, I swear - 8 subs. Magic. When people talk about "quick, punchy bass" this is it. and overlayed with "before" - same sub configurationn and placement

    Do I really need to upgrade my centre channel with a ESL C18

    I have started also with 60Hz, when I upgraded to Focus - as you said, improvement vs [in my case XT50] was huge and I have enjoyed overall quality improvement. But I have later switched [and still keep] 80Hz now [also for 15A's] as it gives me more homogenous overall screen side experience...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    No, still the same subs setup - as in the photos on the previous page - is more "on-wall" 35cm deep boxes, passive, with external amps [to reduce the size of box and keep the volume requirement] Ugly looks - great sound ;-) Built by local EU integrator with B&C drivers same like PSA. You know...

    This are the guidelines from Trinnov - https://www.trinnov.com/en/subwoofer-guidelines/ as you can see there are several options of layouts, with expected performance, one thing they have in common is the Emitter {front wall] - Absorber [rear wall] arrangement needed for Waveforming to work...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    So it has finally happened - I got installed Waveforming by Trinnov in their Early Access [you need to apply and get approval, to be within subwoofer placement guidelines]. and this is the result - no bass traps/resonators, all the room modes removed. BTW Waveforming allows you to adjust decay...

    Whatever, it is still ****** place to spend part of your life in (Tesla). Got tesla Y for couple of weeks, as try-out. Nah, ordered another BMW. uncomfortable, noisy at higher speeds, smelling cheap and no heads-up display. I think around 2030 EVs will,be mature technology - charge time, let’s...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    So more and more I get sucked into Atmos Music and concert BR. One thing sticks out - new Atmos mixes are much much better then their stereo counterparts. I mean like much better - usually difference in Dynamic Range is lij 6 or even more dB which is a lot. One of the best ones - P Gabriel -...
