Yes. I’ve had my ESP Bodhran SE speakers for over ten years now. They fulfill all my requirements with the exception of deep bass which has been addressed with a pair of Gallo Acoustics TR1D subs.
The Bodhran’s are rare and unconventional in design. The enclosure is a sealed design with aperiodic venting. Viewed from the top it resembles the state of Nevada, so designed to fire at 45 degrees into the room. They are designed for tube amplifiers, fairly efficient at 91 db with a high stable impedance.
Front firing drivers are a 1 inch tweeter flanked by two 5 inch mids in an MTM configuration. Below that are two 7 inch bass drivers. There is also an additional 1 inch tweeter which is side firing.
They present a large and spacious soundstage. Frequency balance is towards the warm side but not excessively so. The bass is clean without the excesses one finds with the common ported speakers. My musical tastes are primarily jazz, classical, and americana. I can play anything I want to listen to and be thrilled with the results. I believe that’s pretty much all one can hope for.
