Ok ,I am replacing a set of ESL with a set of very nice original Sophia's.. Having heard them in a rather larger room I am hoping for good results
Now I have had ESL for many years and liked the airiness and spatial detail.. However I have been yearning for more detail and pin point sound stage.. I had a chance to do a outstanding deal on these and remove my BIG esl in a not so big L shaped room. I have heard the many newer Wilson's and have been wowed at times and tepid at times.. The room is 12 x 20 x 14 x 20 L shape opening to the 14x20 L side about 9 feet on the right.
The 12x20 is on the left serving as the outside walls. This alcove is dedicated two channel side and the other has my big screen and 7.1 side..
I run a Krell KSA100s and KRC3 to a Krell Connect ..
What are some of your thoughts on room size and amp pairing with the Sophia's.. I did do a test run with My HT front Vandersteen 2ce in that place and they did well so I don't think the Sophia's will over power the room ..
Thoughts???
