The Elipsa's are in the home theater, while they are a bigger speaker than the Guarneri Memento's I don't hear as much of a difference due to the 2 JL subs. that I had crossed over at a higher freq. for the GM. Getting back to the Strads. truly a wonder full speaker. Every genre I have played sounds terrific. The Strads. are masterpiece speaker in all respects and I feel fortunate.

David,
I wish I was close enough to pop over and give them a listen with you. Have you tweaked the crossover settings of your Fathoms with the Elipsas? I would think you could set them lower than with the GMs?
I have been on a Blues kick this weekend. The Strads are weeping, especially with the acoustic simply recorded albums I have played. I am sitting in the front row watching the sweat fall off of John Lee Hooker and Brownie McGhee. Play the Arne Domnerus stuff again and put yourself in those coffee houses.
