Is there a review on these speakers?

I have these speakers with a Wells Audio Majestic Integrated amp and just love:yes: these two together ! :thumbsup:

I've heard the whole line and I think the Classic esl 9's are the sweet spot in the whole new line!:music: The larger panels are just made for bigger rooms if you ask me.

No cone speakers:no: can match the mid-range and highs of ESL's if you ask me!

Here's a review

Thanks for chiming in Rick. I have the older (cheaper) Theos myself - ever heard those? Must be nice to have two 8" woofers instead of one.

Does it say "Made in Canada" on the box?

A friend of mine just got some new Tekton Design Double Impact SE speakers and I like them a lot better than my new Martin Logans!:music:

I'm going sell my Martin Logan ESL9's and buy some new Tekton Mini Ulfberht speakers. These speakers are only $7,500 a pair! I never thought I would buy cone speakers again!:no:

Even the standard $3K Tekton double Impacts are better than the new big Martin Logan Renaissance ESL 15A's!!:music:

Wow, you really seem to thrive on jumping to such conclusive declarations. Being dipolar electrostatic speakers the MLs are going to have a completely different type of sound characteristic than any box speaker including the Tektons. Each has its own set of benefits and weaknesses so it will likely be a matter of taste as to which any specific person might prefer. Rarely are there such absolutes in high end audio, to each their own.

I think someone hacked Rick's account.
