Yup, I recognize them from an earlier thread...don't recall if they were yours or someone else's, but I've had the the site bookmarked for a while.

I was thinking of making another 3 panel of this pic Rocks In The Water Covered Of Foam And Fog Under A Red Sunset Stock Photo 20446123 : Shutterstock for the right wall.

The back of the room is open at a hall and the kitchen. There are 20 2'x4'x4" panels and 8 8' half round bass traps.

As for music, it's a big variety from soft jazz like Gets/Gilberto to bop Miles Davis to acoustic rock like Cat Stevens to classic rock like The Who Tommy, basically everything except rap or opera.

From the pics and that description you're probably good to go.

Thanks, If I do end up with the Elipsa SE it will be after a long home demo so I'll know for sure.

I love how you're able to select images for their panels...very, very cool. Good luck with your changes.

As near as I can tell the Elipsa SE is basically a slightly smaller Stradivari.

Nope, but closer in performance than the price difference would indicate. Both pressurize the room in a similar manner which is a big part of the very natural presentation they have.

The enclosure is thicker/stiffer on Strads and mids in Strad are significantly better making Strads more resolved at both ends of the dynamic spectrum. Strads also have a smoother, purer and quieter midrange.

Good luck. Elipsa SE is a very big step up, imo

Beautiful speaker!

I really like the sound of the SE's. I think you will be very happy if you decide to purchase them.

I think you will need a lot more juice, to get it all!
