I’ve been looking at a site called gikacoustics.com that has some attractive options. I’ve seen others with photo images on the fabric that look decent too.

I’m looking into some 2” panels already so thanks for that recommendation.

I don’t have any immediate need to tweak acoustics but am going to look into some sound panels for the rear wall.

Well the “space” is unchanged in size but vastly improved with the ESL-9’s that’s for certain! They fill the space with sound, the low and mid-range are so much stronger and if you want it loud, it can comply without a doubt. Clearly the 9’s could do very well in a substantially larger room, I...

I live in San Diego, land of the Tesla…I’ve only once ever seen a driver doing a max acceleration run, honestly I feel like most of the drive no differently than anyone else.

Bummer!

Is there a source to buy an attractive stat panel sleeve for some ESL-9 Classics? I have the standard white sock that covers everything but figure someone must be doing something in an attractive sleeve that would protect just the stat panel….if not maybe there’s a market there! Get my wife...

I have that amp with em-esl’s and sounds great, moving to ESL -9’s but keeping the amp.

Yeah I’m dealing with a standard size bedroom as my music space and it’s diminished in footprint by a Murphy bed that extends almost two feet into the room, so really the classic 9’s are pushing it space wise. Also from a price point, I can find a used set of 9’s for a digestible price, the...

Once the ESL-9’s are in place most certainly! I’m negotiating a purchase used presently.

Unfortunately we have cats, they see Maggie’s as giant scratching posts! So not really an option. I did look at them initially but ruled out due to cat damage gear which the salesman agreed was a very real possibility. my amp is just that, not an integrated amp. I’ve got XLR balanced...

Considering upgrading to the ESL-9, I’ve a small room and the ESL’s do a very nice job, but you understand the addiction… I listened to a pair of ESL-9’s at a Magnolia center and they were pretty impressive. I’ve an Anthem MCA 225 mk 2 amp so plenty of power to run them. what are peoples...

Closing this chapter: turned out my “dimmer” panel was the newer panel! Not the 11 year old one (but was a floor model apparently). I’d washed the dimmer panel in water only then tried soaping it with simple green, no improvement of note (certainly no worse). I had the chance to purchase the...

I sold a CD player, nothing fancy to a guy I had to meet at a gas station at a certain time…so his wife wouldn’t know he’d left…the CD player apparently looked “similar enough” to his existing one that his wife wouldn’t recognize he’d replaced it….DAMN! I guess I’m pretty lucky my wife doesn’t...

That’s interesting, the only other “cleaner” I’ve seen referenced for the wash was simple green. My problem is I have one panel that’s practically new, the other 11 years old. The sound difference between them is subtle but also substantial in terms of brightness and upper end clarity, I can...

What did you use for soap? Did you find that the crispness of the panel returned fully?

So washed my panel and reinstalled it, no noticeable difference in sound….very disappointing that this could be merely an age related issue with the panel. It seems crazy to me that the panels would degrade in sound quality that much with only 8 years of use difference…(11 years versus 3 year...

Update, swapped the panels and the affected panel moved as expected to the other enclosure. A visual of the electronics proved uneventful as all looks fine so I’m suspecting the issue is the panel. So tomorrow she’s getting a shower and then in a couple days time I’m going to cross my fingers!

I tried room correction that’s part of my NAD preamp, the results were very unsatisfactory BUT I’ve been told the better approach can be to use just one sample location, your sweet spot for listening because the ESL’s are so focused on sound and trying to sample sound in other locations will...

Room correction should dial that in no?
