Anyone own Innersound Speakers?

I heard the Innersound speakers at the Stereophile show last month. They sounded amazing. They have a very open 3 dimentional sound and the bass was really good. The person above, said they use a 10 inch woofer. The ones i heard, used an 8 inch woofer.

I have owned a pair of ISIS and a pair of EROS for a few years. While the sweet spot may be narrow, as it will be for any ESL's, it is plenty big enough for two :-)

The transmission line design gives the speakers much better bass response/accuracy than any ML's that I have auditioned (which is just about all of them).

You won't find a nicer, more knowledgeable person to deal with Roger Sanders. I have seen this theme from every owner that I have ever seen write about their experience with Innersound. Great support and service!

Little known facts - Did you know that Roger Sanders invented the curved ESL panel?

I own a pair of Eroses, and they are nothing short of fantastic!!! I auditioned a pair of ML Quests and while the midrange and treble were close, the Innersound bass response is superior to the ML. The reason is the crossover amp, and the transmission line design. It is a 10" woofer as measured from the outside edge of the cone. 8" on the inside. THe bass is tight, deep and LOUD. You won't be disappointed.

While the sweet spot is on the smaller side -- intentional per the deisgn -- once you have them setup properly, the sound, imaging, clarity, accuracy and soundstage in the sweetspot are absolutely amazing.

Roger Sanders is a very personable and knowledgeable designer. He is very helpful on the phone, and his advice is very down to earth.

I can't think of a better speaker bargain out there. These speakers are highly recommended.

Some one please remind Mdom about the importance of proper amp for electros. I've heard the midsize ML's hooked up to a big Krell and they sounded great, except the bass was not too good. Then i heard the ML Ascents at a friends house hooked up to Conrad Johnson tube mono blocks. Played classical and R&R, horrible! I think Innersound has a at home trial basis thing. That's probably best. Shipping will be expensive, but worth it. It'll cost about $150 UPS to ship back.

I own the original eros. When I bought them, I took them to my favorite high end shop to do an a/b with the ML requests. While comparable in the midrange and treble (with the ML's midrange slightly recessed in my opinion), the bass of the eros surpassed the ML in every respect - it was quick, tight, deep and seamlessly integrated with the panel while the ML was slow, loose and just didn't seem to integrate well with the panel. I believe this is due to the transmission line woofer that the eros uses. The only trade off with the eros is the narrow sweet spot (a conscious design choice by Mr. Sanders)- which is actually large enough for two people. If you would like to read more, there is a good thread called a tribute to roger sanders and innersound which contains a longer description of the eros and many customer comments. The bottom line - I really love my eros and am going to keep them but upgrade them to the mk3's. But, as I always say, your ears are the ones that matter - so listen to the choices out there and see what you like. - Scott
