Moreover, at medium to high volumes l'ensemble was not that far off on the low end while the mid range and highs were considerably better. I was convinced I would be happy with either.
D-day came, I literally tossed a coin and picked l'ensemble. Could not wait to get it home but only managed to set it up yesterday.
Listened to some music (CD and Tidal over Wifi). Initial impressions (Athoms will probably improve with time) excellent hifi BUT no fun factor --now I know what I was looking for --. I distinctly recall the shock, amazement and constant grin on my face when I heard the silver phantoms. The bass and the way the woofers moved was spellbinding. Now sitting here lis
Ok. If you want to look to the moving woofers, you´re decision was wrong
But most of the time you will not see a lot of movement. For me this nice effect was gone after 10 minutes. Since this minutes I´ve never watched this again. I prefer to use my ears
