Which MIT cable b twn spectral eidolon

Try to get in touch with Joe Abrams ( equusaudio@aol.com)
Apart from being a nice person he is very knowledgeable in things Spectral/MIT. (Funny I found the V2 better on ESLs also with the 360s. But then, as you say, its a highly personal thing.

dear detlof,
how so?
I kind of thought the v2's were a bit darker although there was more separation around the voices. hmmmmm

That's interesting and I think you heard right. I own a pair of plasma tweeters, which I run separately with the ESL's which lighten up the voicing of the entire system considerably, if I want it that way and yes, I DID like the the voices and solo instruments like the violin better through the V2's. So I reckon you heard right, as far as my ears are concerned and the rest is a difference in taste, I suppose. Regards,

Dear Detlof,
OK...I am with you up until the part about the ESL's and the plasma tweeters. Pardon my ignorance but what are ESL's and especially how do you have a separate pair of plasma tweeters running

JD, ESL's are electrostatic speakers, in the setup in question they were Quads. The plasma tweeters are of German origin, made by the a-capella Hornspeaker people, they are excellent, because there is no membrane to be moved whatever, just a flame. They are fed through a pair of old Spectral 50's run in bridged mode. Regards,
