A concrete floor....yikes!... We'll soon see if the ESL13s can live up to this ultimate vinyl playback system....! (Note today's date!)

Hi Perry....and thanks for that good info. My ESL panels will be only about 36"-40" from the wall, and since the wall is wood paneled (almost as reflective as glass)...I'll probably need the GIK panels. But I can always move them sideways a bit if the sound gets too dull (like a "mid/treble...

Hi Bob, Thank you for that generous offer. I'm gonna wait till the ESL13As arrive and I get them situated. I just received the two GIK absorption panels (2' x 4' x 2")...I'll put one behind each speaker. If it sounds like I need more treatment, I'll definitely be in touch. Speakers were...

Yep....I'm not too worried about LF issues. We'll see what happens when the music starts...ARC can help with LF issues... Thanks,

Thanks for that. Yeah I’m not gonna worry about sidewall reflections for now. My back wall (behind speakers) is hardwood paneling which is very reflective, so absorption will probably help especially since I can get the stat panels only about 36” from that wall. But I’ll experiment and see what...

Thank you…..I’m excited indeed!

Thanks!....yeah, we did our house in a somewhat Hawaiian motif. The peaked ceiling is covered with grasscloth, which really helps mitigate ceiling/floor reflections and echos. A happy accident!

Good to know. And GIK shipped my panels yesterday, so I should have them next week. Speakers arriving the following week. Thanks everyone...

Hi Tmort....thanks for the suggestions. My listening position is on the sofa, between the speakers. The speakers are about 8' apart, and I'm about 10' feet in front of them. (The photo makes it looks much deeper than it really is.) I'm really the only 'ciritical listener'...so if the sweet...

Hi Jeff....thanks for that info! My room is reasonably 'dead' (carpet, upholstered furniture, etc) but I have a large sliding glass door on one side and a concrete fireplace on the other. The sidewalls are "live" and mess with imaging. This is one reason why I went with the ESLs....very...

Hi Brad....thanks for that encouragement.... I'll post pics as soon as I get 'em installed!

Friday at 3:23 PM I just joined the ML Owners group. I've been an audiophile for decades....and am finally upgrading from "cone-in-box" speakers to ESLs. My system is simple: McIntosh MCD550 SACD player and an MA8900 integrated amp, 200 wpc. Since I listen mostly to classical music...

I am new to ML electrostatic speakers. I just ordered ESL13As. They’ll be in a room that’s 18’ wide with 8’ ceiling. Speakers will be 8’ apart with my LP about 10’ in front of them. Stat panels will be 36” - 40” from the front wall, which is wood paneling. Very reflective. SO…my plan is to use...
