When Western Reserve Audio was a partner building tube amps for Innersound,I heard the EROS.It sounded good,but got a little overbearing,then we installed two pairs of the Walker Audio Ultimate HDLs.More relaxed,no signs of stress on high level transients and more liquid.These are available with return policy and used here on the Gon.Give them a shot.
Di-Poles and back wall reflections Stats
I have a pair of Innersound Eros Electrostats that are "Di-Pole" in nature, I have not had them that long and am still trying to get everything right. My room and wife make placement from back wall 32 inches at closest point, 8 inches from sidewall and toed in to my sweet spot. I have noticed some high pitch fatigue at moderate volumes so I thought to place my side wall reflection panels behind the speakers as I no longer have any issue with first reflections on side wall due to the beaming nature of the Innersound speakers.
I first placed the panels wich are about 24 inches square behind each speaker up towards the top of the speaker panel and the high frequency fatigue went away, but also some of the magic, it just seemed like a window got shut a little too far....so I moved the panels lower down the wall and it seems pretty good, the HF beaming fatigue is gone and the window seemed to open back up, but I am now wondering if I am doing the right thing by useing the reflection traps behind the speakers at all. Should I do nothing with the back wall or am I going to have to find a happy medium with some kind of treatment due to how close they are to the back wall? Anyone with similar experience or opinions please let me know what you think, and as always thanks again. Chad
