No they're not. The transformers amongst other important things have vastly improved the later designs.

> The ESL(57) will play 100dB+ with protection circuits in place and enough power. Plenty loud enough.

This is a design from so long ago that they can't be sensibly compared with 2912s. They have always been recognised as suitable (and excellent) with small scale music where big crescendos are not featured and bass is relatively absent. Many owners of these have added subs to provide the bass that's clearly absent from these lovely antiques.
