Hi Bob
Thank you for your insight,
In short after having the opportunity to audition the eric-3
speakers at home for one week,I am now the happy owner of the
demo pair,still not fully broken in.B.t.w. I live in Israel.
I first listened to them at the importer's home w droplet cd player and 800 monoblocks.I was surprised how detailed and refined the mids and highs were,but I found them to be a bit
bass-shy especially on rock music w electric bass and bass drums.
I think they needed to be broken in because after a week with them I feel the bass is very good for the size with plenty of detail and speed.Of course the Infinity Kappa 100
w 2 12 inch drivers that I had listened to were amazing in that department.
I have a narrow and long room and have them sitting close to the wall and it's not really letting them shine but still they do a great job.I will try moving them to the long direction to give them plenty of free space behind them.
I had an opportunity to listen to rhe vr-2 w. my amp and liked them a lot but I feel the eric's are in the same league and having an opportunity to buy a pair at less than
half the local retail of the vr-2 made the decision easy.
I think they are a real bargain ,detailed ,musical,dynamic,
involving.I just wish the looks were as good as the sound
(e.g. Usher or Aurum Cantus).
B.t.w. I use them w the 4 ohm speaker taps,because the speakers are rated 4 ohm.I didn't try the 8 ohm ,but logically it should not sound better,or should it?
