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/so... 
Streaming music sounds better late at night. Is this just me?
Has anyone tried to see if a very high quality power conditioner can cure this problem?

I have listened to ML at audio shows but wasn't impressed. Everyone is raving about Maggies. Are they that good or "good for the price"?

I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?
@rauliruegas I did try another head shell, Audiosilente. Did not sound all that different. I think you are right about about not changing speakers.

Lew, I find the dynamic range too high only on certain recordings. May be that is the way it should be for those recordings. BTW, I moved my seat as far as I can and it sounds much better. Much more natural and less “in your face.”

I read one review in which someone was driving Quad ESL 2812 with a 25W tube amp. This would be impossible to do with Sound Lab.

I find that loud passages are too loud, so when I turn down the volume, quiet passages such as with vocals recede. May be the problem is not with the speakers but with pre/amp?

@mijostyn , talking to Roger West, the owner of Sound Labs, having subwoofer introduces discontinuity and also loss of clarity in bass.

Audiokinesis, what do you think about Quad 2812 which is 30% smaller than my speakers or the full size 2912.

That is a fascinating idea.

@lewm, what is happening is that loud passages sound too loud, so I turn the volume down. When I do that, quieter passages are too recessed.

I don't need any more bass; I got plenty with Bass Focus. I think I figured out part of the problem. My Sound Lab speakers are too dynamic for my tiny room. I did all the room treatments I can do, so I can't go there. I think I actually need a les...

@ruauliruegas, you say the transformer coupled preamp must go. I assume this applies to all transformer coupled preamp? or just my combination. Are you recommending OTL preamps?

Thanks to everyone for their comments. Right now, there is nothing more I can do about the room size. So, it looks like the consensus is to get better analog components. @stereo_gen also makes a good point. My system current sounds good and could ...
