Properly setup and after break in, your system will achieve new levels of greatness. In the meantime, enjoy them as they break in. They look stunning in your room.

Speakers with soul....
I'm going to check that. I have a special cd to help break them in. It includes sounds from 22hz to 20khz plus pink noise. However there is no better way to break them in than with good music.

I'd love to have a professional having a look at my room and giving me advice on how to improve it. However I'm not in the us to have the pleasure to contact sumiko

I tried the Cremona M which were my "reasonable" choice but after hearing the Elipsa I just couldn't go back.

The Cremona are incredible speakers but the Elipsa go so much beyond and above that it's impossible not to fall in love with them.

Antipop,

Great pics! Congrats on a fine day! I would really encourage some testing of speaker placement in your room. Not sure the dimensions or the other variables, such as couches, tables, etc, but those SEs would likely really benefit from some breathing space from front and side walls. Even if that is not possible, i bet they sound fantastic!
Chris

Thank you tunes.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of room to move them around as they are in my living room. I'm breaking them in this week and I'll play with the placement next week-end.

Anyway, they already sing. I'm listening to Clapton Unplugged in LP. I've never heard it like that. I can feel him playing each string

I just bought that LP last week. It wasn't cheap, but it sounds terrific. Far better and more natural than the CD.
