Inner Sound Eros Experiences

I heard a pair at a dealers - wounderful electrostatic sound but awful integration with the powered subs. It maybe they did not set it up properly. Recently heard them again with a VTL preamp and some SS power amp. Boy did it sound awful - can't even begin to describe it.

I guess I am warning you to first have a listen with your own equipment first.

I was also thinking of purchasing a pair & listened to them at a dealer. Unfortunately, wtam's experience was the exact same as mine. They sounded awful. Also, the construction, especially of the bass section, was shoddy to say the least. There's a review in the current bound for sound, and they also agree with our findings.

Well, my Eros sound fantastic with the InnerSound SS amp. They will definitely play MUCH louder and more dynamically than MG 3.6s without any audible stress, and customer support is excellent. Roger Sanders takes great pains to rectify any customer complaints. I agree that construction of the cabinets could be better, but you could say that about most speakers. The sweet spot for me is 1.5 to 2 people wide, possibly more narrow than that for the Maggies.
I like both systems and could have bought either, but because of their overall purity coupled with high input/output capability, the Eros won easily. The 3.6s simply won't play at very loud levels without blowing fuses or ribbons -- plus their bass performance leaves much to be desired in my opinion. It sounds kind of loose and anemic. The bass on the Eros is fast, dynamic and slightly lean and mine mate very well with my subwoofer.

Wait for the Matin Logan Odessey or check out the Quad 989.
