    Unbalanced sound output

    I’ve read thru your thread, the audible impacts you were experiencing sound like what I’m getting. I certainly hope I don’t have both failing electronics and panel on my speaker as I’m on my own, no warranty and I’d be basically buying a new speaker. I will see next week what happens when I swap...

    Unbalanced sound output

    The panel of concern is 11 years old, the other 3. ML did suggest swapping panels between speakers so I will be trying that in a week or so, currently on vacation. So yes if the swap shows it’s the crossover it’s something completely different. if after the swap it’s still with the older...

    Unbalanced sound output

    I bought these from a person who’d gotten them from bestbuy wholesale, he claims they came as a “pair” from them but he’d no idea of their relative age. So I’ve no recourse directly with bestbuy, and the eBay seller is claiming ignorance of the discrepancy. So I’m trying my best to put these...

    Unbalanced sound output

    Yes they’ve sent me the instructions including to wash the panels. but here’s the deal, my “older panel” is only about 1.5 db less in volume, it’s the upper end clarity that’s missing, it sounds much flatter than the newer speaker / panel. I’m hoping this is not the natural state of things….I...

    Brutal honesty pls

    ML saiid $700 to replace the smaller ESL panel, seems pretty steep to me.

    That’s not an option.

    Esl x vs esl

    Did you make this upgrade and if so did u consider it worth it? I’m in that boat right now…

    Unbalanced sound output

    So after some discussion with ML I found out something pretty shocking, I’d bought these from a guy who got them from bestbuy wholesale, well as it turns out one speaker has A manufacture date of 2019, the other 2011! Ive carefully vacuumed the dimmer speaker then did some rudimentary db...

    Unbalanced sound output

    Had your “affected” speaker stopped working completely or just reduced volume? How does one get to the point of seeing such connections to check that? I’d certainly like to give that a look.

    Unbalanced sound output

    I’ve a pair of EM-ESL’s and one of them has a greater sound output than the other. I’d thought it was just the stereo balance of recordings I was playing but upon swapping the speakers L/R the bias also switched sides. I bought these second hand so warranty isn’t going to give me anything here...

    EM-ESLX might meet the wife’s approval, far smaller footprint!

    Dirac room correction and ELS’s

    I probably should have stated this is a 2.1 channel setup, music only.

    Dirac room correction and ELS’s

    I’ve an NAD C658 preamp / DAC/Streamer with built in Dirac room correction (base version, not full frequency). My speakers are the EM-ESL’s. After figuring out how to perform the sound measurements for about 5 spots closely relative to the sweet spot listening position the results were very...

    Video of your system playing music

    Nicely done, great looking room and set-up my only thought is perhaps a simple dome light over the turntable might look better than that wide linear light. Great song….brings back memories of cruising in my Boss 302, Jensen 6x9’s in the back, fosgate amp pumping ear-bleeding levels!

    The Return to Vinyl

    It wouldn’t take much for a slight speed variation (from the design speed) on the turntable to make it be off by a couple seconds over the course of a few minutes long recording. No?

    Kenwood L-07m mono power amps

    I’m a new ML owner, just purchased a pair of electromotion ESL’s, and I was going to power them with the Kenwood L-07m power amps. My concern is I’m reading about how these speakers seem to create a varied load that can dip down to 2 ohms, these amps are listed as capable of 4 to 16 ohms, so I...
