Cool. What horns?

 

Ive not found that with the Summits, the curved panel gives very good lateral dispersion to my ears.

 

Which is what I would expect!

 

Long fancied M-Ls, but that 30 degree sweet-spot angle is a bit on the narrow side, although I listen some 4+ meters away, so may not be so bad. The Quad ESLs, or at least the big ones, have a very wide sweet-spot (as I imagine do Maggies). The soundstaging and imaging hardly varies across my 7' sofa.. Can't see why height is a prob., as 2905s and the later 2912s are as tall as other big panel spkrs. They don't necessitate muscle amps either.

nice & compact

 

Like those!

 

Yes, Maggies, are more generous in terms of sweetspot.
However...... Don't sweat too much. Both speakers sound frikkin ace at almost any angle. Sure, there's a sweetspot.... But you will enjoy these speakers anywhere on your sofa

 

thats a good question . well the summit x had adjustable knobs on the back so you could adjust the bass etc . I also used them with a pretty expensive MSB amp which i think the rrp now would be about 35k . the wall of sound and realism was stunning and the bass was very very impressive . Now I used the Taus [ rfc] in a different room so not quite able to compare directly . They did have a very similar wall of sound with a stunning soundstage , extremely resolving and holographic . Nowhere near the crushing bass that the ml could deliver if needed but then i had them on track audio stands and i didnt want bass in a loft room adjacent neighbours bedroom

 

I d call that a late review Phil !... 3.56 am indeed !!, haha

 

yes i suffer from insomnia !!!
