RE: If you return

Interesting setup Satie,

Tympani IV with NEO8's ( how many) I'm not surprised you can run them fullrange as the standard 8's had a 18db peak at 12K and is still 5db out at 15K, you would have to run your tweeters really hot to have any real compensation above 12K, Did you have to eq them ..?

Since ESL's voice differently from Magnostats, who in turn tend to mix easier with other type of drive units, they( ESL) are very difficult to mix with other topologies, personally i prefer the voicing on magnostats, but that is not to say one is superior to the other, i have had good times with both, It's very difficult to put ESL's with anything else due to said voicing and Big ESL's have no issues delivering large scale music, they will need room to do so and really large multiple woofers if you want to add subs.

A big Tympani system as yours will move a lot of air, maybe more than an U1 in the bass, not necessarily better .


Regards.
