Do you think the 9a aluminium woofers sound better than the doped paper woofers of the ESL -X?

Ok thanks for all the feedback guys!☺️

Is imaging more solid as I notice this when I heard esl-x at dealer. He doesn't have 9a. Hi World reviews says it's a bit brighter what are your thoughts? Is the integration with woofer and panel same excellence as the little ESL?

Hi, I'm ready now to upgrade ESL 8 to 9a. Can you please describe what you like by going up to 9a? Thanks!

I use Electromotion ESL with Evo 300 with Audio Gd HE-1 Vaccine pre and don't listen too loud as my room is 12x28! No distortion. My dealer demoed speaker in triode mode with a Cabin CSA-55 integrated in triode mode in much larger room playing Sting's Murder by Numbers track with the kick...

I love my all tube amplification! Sublime!😊

Do you have pics of your ESL crossover project?

No not yet! What about you?

I still have the ESL. I don't want to pay that much for 11A to get active crossover. Did you get new speakers?

I can't believe how much better the X is. The panel is only a little bigger so you would think just gain more bass with one more woofer. The X is just flat out more musical speaker in every way to the standard Esl.

Will it keep bass more in your room and not to your neighbour's as I live in apartment?

I am not sure how to excite that not that technical and don't have the measuring equipment!

Can someone here explain the benefits of having opposing woofers like say in the esl X & the other models higher up? Does having two woofers make it harder to drive so you need more power? Is it slower because there is more mass?

Actually looking for midrange purity. Thought lower crossover point of X would help. And since front woofer of X only goes down to 80 hz. Less muddy midrange & less resonance as paired with rear firing woofer. What do you guys think?

Montis are too big for my space!

Also, what advantage going from crossover point of 500 hz to 400 hz in the esl x?

I have the esl and itching to upgrade to the esl x. Is it worth it. I want the lower crossover point but was wondering if image and soundstage will be as stable as the esl. I would guess esl x has more midrange purity and of course bass.

actually heard the McIntosh monos at a dealer and thought it had a warm midrange but lacking in air when driving the Sonus Faber speakers. Also their chassis are too deep.

I already made my decision. I placed an order for the Icon Audio Stereo 30SE integrated. Should have it in a month. I was also considering a Devialet D 120. Similar price as dealer was clearing them out. It was tuff decision. BTW my current Nad c390dd is no slouch I wanted some more meat on...

I don't know if anyone has heard of Newform research ribbons. But I had a pair which I modded the crossover with Hovland caps. Then I bought a Melo tubed dvt. I think at the time I had a all entry level Spectral system. I just bought a pair of mullard 6dj8 tubes for the Melos. I cued up the...
