Soundlab speakers

I've owned early versions of A3's,1's and Pristines. The Prognosis was great the execution left a lot to be desired- the fizzed popped and went AWOL on efficiency. When working they could deliver -but the trials and tribulations of ESLs
are not for the faint hearted. These were no exception and replacement panels
were the norm.

I've heard the later Panels at TheShow with Ralph's Amps and while the shoebox room did them no favors they did seem to show great sonics -and not fail

at least when I was there.

If you are in a Humid climate /etc I'd think twice.

Any one ever head Sound labs driven by Spectral gear or is that not a good combo

Thanks team212, I can relate, I have considered ESL's strongly over the years but could never get past what you describe! I am a plug and play type!
