Any word on price for the ESL? Does it require a special amplifier?

It’s going to be Alclair’s most expensive IEM. The price hasn’t been finalized.

No special electronics required. I’ve listened to it from my iPhone and it sounds big and detailed.

Most expensive - hopefully it won't be excluded from the annual BF sale.

If I have to guess the price, it's probably going to be closer to $2K.

I to have listened to the ESL and absolutely love the sound. I need to seriously save some money for it.

Andy, the one you heard was not the same as the finished version.

Good to know. I do remember Marc saying he was not sure how many BAs he was going to put in there .Was it 4 or 5?

Hi Tyler,

Great to see you around. Has been awhile.

Cheers

The finished version has 4 BAs and 2 ESL tweeters.

What’s up Ben? How have you been?

So can we stop by and demo this? Really curious about a BA and ESL combo.

 

[tf1216]

No universal versions made yet. I’ll see what the timeline is on that.

For a cable replacement are these .75mm or .78?
TIA

The Electro does sound might impressive. I actually think I favored the REVX. However, and to bring this thread back to the beginning, due to its combination of price and SQ, I went with the RSM, and have not regretted it for a second.

I still love my RSM. I have them still and I also have the studio four. I highly recommend a Forza Cu cable for your RSM; it takes them about 90% of the way to the Studio 4.

And wouldn't you know it, I use the Forza hybrid cable with my RSM. When comparing the two, I found the RSM to be a little smoother and more musical than the Studio4, while the 4 had the edge on clarity and detail.

I'd completely agree with that assessment. The mids in the RSM are a bit more present and smooth.

My studio 4 pulls a bit more detail out of the mids and they feel a bit more 'recessed'. I think this gives me the illusion of a larger soundstage. The biggest difference between the two for me is soundstage. The studio 4 feels wider and taller. They are both so d@mn wonderful. I'm especially enjoying them with the new Dream Theater album.
