Thinking of upgrading to ML ESL 11 or 13a. Thoughts?


Hey guys!

Prob a simple question, but I have some older ML Ethos speakers. I want to upgrade, so was looking at their Montis model. They're from the older generation, so considering the 11a and 13a also. For those that have transitioned - is the newer line a significant improvement over previous designs outside of the low end? I have a Rythmik G25HP, so def. getting enough slam for now. On MLO, didn't get a ton of responses, same on AVS. Thanks

A larger panel will give you better sound.  Not sure what the room correction will mean in your case, it could be life changing or not.  I assume the Rhythmic is a sub, so I think you should think about a larger panel for an upgrade.
My experience is that a larger panel sounds better, not just louder (more detail, more musical, etc). It doesn’t seem to make sense, but that’s how it works.  The Montis is not that much more visually imposing than the Ethos.
