Very few have heard my set up. Of the ones that have, one person, after hearing my ESL-57's, has been pining over a pair ever since. Had a mono pressing of Ben Websters "Soulville" playing as he sat down in the chair. He couldn't believe the 3d effect coming from a mono pressing. He is now obsessed w these speakers. This from someone who has a pair of Tannoy Canterbury's and a SOTA vacuum platter TT. He is not uninitiated in this. Another friend, listen to Dire Straits "Ride Across The River", while listening to my Cornwalls commented that it was the first time he heard the "wood" in the percussion section. He is also running a proper set up. LS50's, Rega 6, Bluesound streamer etc. But I think his reaction has to do with speaker placement. His set up is not in a good room, and limited with how it can be set up, so not working at it's best.
