In Reply to: Sound/build quality of ESS transtatic I? posted by centaurus3200 on February 21, 2007 at 10:48:21:
I had a pair of Transtatic Ones that were sent to Stereophile for review(the review was never done because the Heil speakers came out before the review was written). When I got them home they were the darkest speakers I ever heard which turned out to be because the KEF B110 drivers in both speakers were hooked up to ground(both hot & ground) so there was no mid-range. When this got fixed they were beter but laid back and still not as focused and defined as an IMF Studio(also a transmission line). I finally got lucky and traded them even up for a set of Rogers LS3/5a's.
This was a sort of hodge podge design with a speaker that began as a 'point source' and then switched to a dipole for the tweeter(the electostats shot out the back to a 45 degree reflector panel) and there is no way this sudden change in dispersion characteristics could ever be integrated.
