thanks pappay and a7niq.

ka7niq, as far as specifics, ii would gather you are saying that the bass was boomy, the mids were reticent and the highs were too prominent? the mids/highs i can deal with. the KEF B110 mid is not an overly sexy driver. i can see the ESLs being too "hot".

i wouldn't think the mids/highs would be colored, but a transmission line with a low current amp would get boomy. they also need to be raised off the floor.

if i can get a pair cheap, they would be fun to play with. at their heart is still the KEF B139, KEF B110 and RTR stats. those are not crappy drivers. the RTR do blow if you try and kick the crap out of them though. and they are not as robust as their janszen counterparts.
