Hi, the ESLs are different from conventional speakers as they present more of a unified sound stage and less of a point source type of sound. They do both direct and reflected sound and are a bit tricky to set up and honestly will not work well in all rooms. But if you can get them dialed in (use the Cardas settings and not the Martin Logan ones for best results ...go figure), the effect is stunning. ESLs are really "fast" and accurate. Equally unforgiving if the rest of the system is not up to par. I have several other speakers including vintage Altec Lansing Magnificents (7.5 cuft each) which are quite excellent...but the ESLs are always my go to ones. If you ever get serious about some, be sure to listen to some set up correctly and be ready to hand out a bunch of dollars. A large listening room is a must. (at least 12 by 15 and 9 high in feet, more is better)
EDIT: Sorry folks I didn't mean to steal the thread, but it seemed a response was in order.
