Re: What is so special about Esotars?

hi frihed,
merlin has been purchasing the esotar from dynaudio for many years now. i used to purchase them from madisound but after dyn stopped selling the drivers to driver retailers, i was able to start purchasing them directly.
it takes many years of development to find a responsible way to use this difficult to use driver. once you get it, imho, few compare. biggest issue is the efficiency because the use of series resistance without impedance correction and proper q circuitry, will cause the network to ring at the crossover freq and then up ocatve by octave. still one of the finest available at any price if used correctly. and if you do an analysis of the driver and figure out how it works, what it was designed to do and what toe angle to use, you will not want for more extension in the top end. again, just mho.
thank you.
