    Classic 9 amp consideration: Sanders vs Anthem

    I have an Anthem MCA 225 mk2 amp running my classic 9’s in a bi-wire configuration. Sounds pretty damn sweet honestly, but you know how it is… The Sanders Magtech amp claims to be the end-all of solid state amps for our beloved electrostatics, anyone have any experience comparing these two...

    Phono pre-amp decision: tubes vs SS

    After a couple years of primarily listening to Tidal through my NAD C658 preamp (Anthem MCA225 mk 2 amp), on my classic 9’s I’ve decided it’s time to step up my vinyl game. Something better than the built in head amp for phono (MM only), in my NAD preamp. I have a nice vintage TT and arm...

    Subwoofer recommendations

    I’ve a small room, a bedroom specifically with classic 9’s. Currently running a relatively inexpensive but pretty tight Klipsch powered subwoofer. In the big picture though this is probably the weakest link in my chain. No urgency to change but I’m sure a step up on the bottom end would...

    Lighting / illumination behind stator panels

    I’ve seen a few images of folks with some creative lighting behind their panels. What are folks doing for this and how’s it working out?

    Stat panel dust sleeves

    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...

    EM-ESL upgrade to ESL-Classic 9’s

    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...

    Unbalanced sound output

    I’ve a pair of EM-ESL’s and one of them has a greater sound output than the other. I’d thought it was just the stereo balance of recordings I was playing but upon swapping the speakers L/R the bias also switched sides. I bought these second hand so warranty isn’t going to give me anything here...

    Dirac room correction and ELS’s

    I’ve an NAD C658 preamp / DAC/Streamer with built in Dirac room correction (base version, not full frequency). My speakers are the EM-ESL’s. After figuring out how to perform the sound measurements for about 5 spots closely relative to the sweet spot listening position the results were very...

    Kenwood L-07m mono power amps

    I’m a new ML owner, just purchased a pair of electromotion ESL’s, and I was going to power them with the Kenwood L-07m power amps. My concern is I’m reading about how these speakers seem to create a varied load that can dip down to 2 ohms, these amps are listed as capable of 4 to 16 ohms, so I...
