General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Sound/build quality of ESS transtatic I?

"a year later an employee friend of mine bought a pair of ess amt 6's - the big one's with the less bright heil drivers - he replaced the woofers added a better midrange and fooled around with the crossover. they ended up being very bozak like."
New woofers, new midrange, and changed crossover, that would leave only the tweeters and cabinet as the same. Those are far too many changes to draw any conclusions about what the original design was intended to sound like. Bozak like is what your friend changed his ESS to sound like, but isn't indicative that that's what ESS had intended.

At any rate, I had a pair of Bozaks (B-302As) and I'd be surprised if the newer ESS models were intended to sound like them.
