I do not recall seeing a dealer in the US selling this line.

You can get them from eBay if you want. I'm based in London so it's less an issue for me.

“Let there be light” ...

My first impression is surprise. I thought my right speaker was not working but that was only because the sound was perfectly centered. After a few seconds of listening, the most noticeable change was the purity of the sound. The floor noise has been reduced to nothing and all I could hear was “blackness”.

Listening to Love for Sale by Chet Baker was impressive. The separation between the instruments was perfect and you could clearly hear each player. Moving onto Dogs by Pink Floyd only confirmed what I heard on Love for Sale but on a more complex track.

Another track that I use for testing is Adele Rolling in the Deep, the bass are so poorly recorded with dynamic range that it’s a mess. It’s now the cleanest I’ve ever experience on my system.

The odd result is that I find myself increasing the volume past what I would usually due only because the sound is cleaner and you can actually up the volume.

Wow! Just looked at pricing. A wee bit dear for my blood. Almost $9,000 to float my speakers.

Are you sure? I paid way less than that, closer to 2k. I have the size 3 and it fits my Elipsa just right

I didn’t verify the size but assumed my Strads would need number 5. I saw $4600 for one of that size.

They come in a pair So it's "only" $4600.

Regarding the size, I assumed the same but once I measured from spike to spike I realized that I could get a smaller one. The Elipsa are wider than the platform but that's not a problem
