I had ESLs for nearly 8 years. Started with ML Odyssey, but found the sweet spot way too narrow. Moved to a pair of Quad 2905s with a pair of REL subs and was convinced I could never go back to a conventional box speaker with cones. The Rockport Aviors I have had for over a year are superior to the Quads in every conceivable parameter. Of course a lot depends on the room and the associated gear.
