Similar story- I had a pair of Quad ESL 63s for nearly 30 years.Used them with various subs over the years. Prior to that I had the Quad 57's, so I've had lots of experience with the ESL sound. Each Quad 63 speaker was repaired 2 or 3 times with numerous panel replacements. A month ago 1...
I just rec'd delivery of a new pair of Theos- arrived thankfully in perfect condition. Busy experimenting with room position. They sound great- CDs revealing new detail- if a bit harsh- perhaps they need to break in a bit.
1- Should I use the 4 ohm or 8 ohm output of the amp? Does it matter...
After much research and some listening, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a pair of Theos . They were delivered yesterday and sound beautiful right out of the box. I have some tweaking to do and some set up chores with my Dynamo 700 SW and Emotiva UMC-1 pre-pro. Power is provided with a...
I'm looking to purchase either a pair of Theos or Ethos. Is either a better choice to use with my McIntosh MC300 amp (300 w/channel). I ask have a ML Dynamo 700 sub- how would I connect the ML's properly with this?
Facing similar decision. I've already decided on Theos over the ESL due to unacceptable beaming of the ESLs with limited sweet spot. Considering the Ethos but I already have a ML Dynamo 700 and wonder if the Ethos has anything more to offer (have no showroom her in NJ that stocks Ethos) than...
After listening to both the ESL and the Theos its clear that the Theos represents a better purchase option for me. While not eliminating the Ethos I'm wondering if the woofer advantage that has been reiterated is as much a factor being that I already have a ML Dynamo 700. Also my McIntosh amp...
thanks to all for the comments and inputs. I had an opportunity to audition both ELS and Theos today in Paramus. IMO the biggest difference between them occurred when I stood up- the Els had a pronounced drop off in tone compared w/the Theos. Also more loss of high frequencies when moving to...
After living happily with Quad ESL 63s for over 25 yrs and enduring several costly repairs, I've decided to switch to MLs. I listen mostly to classical music- orchestral and solo piano. Also use it sparingly for home theater. My listening room is small (13 x 20 ft)so I think the Theos may be...
Hi- happy to join this group and get some ideas and info. I've owned a pair of Quad ESL-63s for about 25 years. I listen mostly to classical music- orchestral and solo piano. The Quads have been repaired a few times and now one requires another repair. The costs of repair plus shipping have...
