Recommendations on small ESL speakers for tiny room

I moved my seat all the way back to the end of the room and find that the speakers disappear. The sound stage is much more natural. Also I moved the speakers to about 6 inches from the side walls. To minimize wall reflection, I put two diffuser/sound absorption panels (2x4 ft) in front of the speakers along the side walls. I thought this would be a disaster but I am getting a nice and wide stage as if I am in a larger room. The Achilles heel of ESLs always have been the lack of  bass punch. But with the Bass Focus of the new generation Sound lab speakers coupled to the small size, punch bass is not a problem. I am quite pleased with the result.

Well done!

Glad to hear you got it working for a lot less than $7,000.00. :-)

Excellent. Yeah, planar are all about positioning.

+1 Quad 57s were designed for small rooms. They can be enchanting even though missing highs and lows. However, the current best rebuild is Electrostatic Solutions 

(ESS). They are said to give much more highs and lows.
