I ordered a pair of these today. Really looking forward to hearing what they can do in comparison to all the electrostatic speakers I have owned over the years.

It will be a few weeks before than land, as they are fairly busy and they build to order.

WOW. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. I have always been wanting to hear another ML center channel again but the one I like is always out of my budget. AND living here in OZ things are 2x's as expensive so ya. DIY if I can. BUT it has been a long time since I heard a ML surround system so I wonder if my memories even remembers them correctly.

Hoping to build my DIY setup and then try and compare them. This system reminds me of the BG series of planar components.

Wow, Sonnie. Those look wicked! I'm not familiar with that brand. US-based, I assume?

Yep... and only 2.5 hours from me in Tallahassee, Florida.

They've been around for years... very long time.

You know it.... we need to setup an evaluation since none of us are at RMAF. Maybe time it so that we can review the LFT's. :bigsmile:

These should be an interesting listen. ET has been around for a longtime and I heard them at an Audio show many years ago with very good results. I like the idea of having a woofer built into the system as that should improve the dynamics a good bit.
I have wanted to hear a newer pair but none are near me. The real wish from me is to someday hear the amazing subwoofer.

Looking forward to your thoughts on these gems.

ET is no joke. I've liked what I've heard from them.
