I'm quite happy to accept that I would not be suitable to offer much
advice regarding a product for classical listening. However, it would
be IMHO no worse than me buying a product based on your classical
evaluation of a product. For example, you use ESL63s I believe. I am
aware of their merits and I appreciate their clever design. Never the
less, they would be totally unsuitable for me, something would go bang
in a week and the last time I heard a pair I was expecting a sound on
the thin side with no deep bass, not a bit of it. What I heard shocked
me as it was the top end that I found difficulty with - I didn't think
there was any.
Its about one of the flattest speakers around and yes there is top as
well as very other audible frequency..
Do you mean they were "lacking in top"?...
That was my perception.

You have to sit bang on axis to get treble - then they sound just about
right IMO.
Yeah - they're the perfect speaker for a "bobby no mates"
hi-fi enthusiast, since two people can't use them at once;
the sweet spot is very perfect, but very small...

You used them much then?...

Years ago, a friend at Uni who was also
info hi-fi had them.
