Hi All,
I own a pair of ML Sources. My old amp died so I am currently torturing my ears by pairing them with an ancient budget Akai amp. (You might as well be trying to listen to the speakers through a thick curtain.) I'llk be auditioning some new amps soon, which brings a logistics problem (probably familiar to other ML owners): you are not going to be lugging around a set of 20 kg speakers.
Obviously before making a final decision I will try to get a home demo on my own speakers. In the mean time, I am stuck with using whatever the dealers have on show. Since Sources are out of production, I am not going to find a dealer that has a pair sitting around. There however a fair amount of dealers around with EM-ESLs in stock. This brings me to my question: How do the EM-ESLs compare to the old Sources in terms of sound? or phrased differently how good are the chances that an amp that I like on the EM-ESLs, will also sound good paired to my own Sources?
(Basically, I am hoping that there some owners around that have listend to the two side-by-side and can tell me about their experience.)
