[PhilP]

Not really into electronica but rock e.g. Clapton, Sting etc is great also Jazz such as John McLaughlin, Pat Methany etc. Just out of interest I auditioned Wilson Benesch Vectors at the same time as the Ethos and while I thought they were great (build and sound quality) speakers there just wasn't the same bass response as the Ethos.

Ok, that's interesting, thanks.

I really like Wilson Benesch speakers because they have a very open and neutral mid-range a bit like electrostatics but you're right that the designers have gone for tight, well-damped bass with smaller speakers rather than extended bass. That's where the Torus infrasonic (sic) generator comes in. It sounds fantastic but unfortunately my room is too small for that really...

EDIT:

I was rather hoping that a SAM profile might be developed for my speakers to extend the bass a bit but this seems unlikely.

Specs:
ML Ethos : 34Hz - 24Khz, +- 3dB
ML Montis : 29Hz - 23KHz, +- 3dB

WB Vector : 36Hz - 30KHz, +- 2dB
WB Discovery :45Hz - 24KHz, +- 2dB

WB Torus : 10 - 150 Hz, -6dB at 18Hz
