Here are a couple more pics . Recently changed the shorting plates between the speakers posts to some Nordost Norse 2 jumper cables and improved things noticeably. @HA_Nick believe you have better terminal plates available, we discussed a while back?

Esoterica Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Is there a pricelist anywhere? I googled the name for the website and didn't see any prices there. This is a bugbear of mine, when retail and real estate don't list a damned price. What's the point?! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudioGeek Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 From previous experience in real estate - its usually a tactic to see how much you can get away with, or to get a buyer to make contact for a bait and switch. I dont think this happens in Audio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a knock on Nick (and I have told him that by PM, as he messaged me about prices) but I don't see why you wouldn't advertise the price? This goes for any retailer. I have the same problem with how more than half the properties advertised are "poa" or "expression of interest ", or something similar. Just give me sn idea so I can not waste time ringing up to only find out it's way out of my price range. Anyway, this is off topic so I won't continue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think this happens in Audio It drives me up the wall and I just ignore those ads. If you have a price range in mind, you look for stuff in that range. I don't recall seeing much of it in audio either. If you're selling a product, I don't see the point of not advertising the price, unless you're trying to hide it from competitors or something. Anyway, like I said, I've made the point so will leave it at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil c Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 @Esoterica Aim for the Hulgich Nina speakers, believe they're less expensive! I expect @HA_Nick has had to contend with a crazy period this year like many businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioGeek Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I dont think I have heard a Hulgich speaker that I didnt think was superb. The Ella mk2 was the sweet spot for me price wise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why some may prefer the Dukes, which are slightly shorter but look pretty much the same. I think the Dukes would serve a big room and also be at home in a smaller apartment. @HA_Nick It is a beautiful centre especially with the stand, I’m just not into surround sound. The sound for movies that comes out of the two main Astors is plenty good enough for me. I’ve been following @evil c’s new upgrade threads and can concur that you really notice each upgraded component with the speakers. Clive I borrowed some speaker cables to try out and also replaced the jumper plate with a jumper cable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at those and wondering what they are. Just looked them up - $1k feet sounds expensive, but the speakers might deserve them eventually.

One of the best upgrades you can make. I'm yet to come across any speaker that has not benefited from their fitment yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly also due to the slightly bouncy old wooden floorboards that the Ella are on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDan Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I have had my Ella Mk II speakers for 4 months now and absolutely love them. They sounded great out of the box but when properly placed and with a few hundred hrs on them they really are something special. The imaging and cohesion between the frequency's is really something to hear. Image depth and width is holographic; bass has slam, is fast and tight but you hear the instrument not just the note, highs are extended and natural...cymbals sound like cymbals...for example, on good recordings the bell on a ride sounds like the bell on a ride. Mid range and voices are beautiful. Recordings have a physical presence in the room. I hear things that i couldn't before. They did highlight the weak points in my system and much to my wife's dismay meant an upgrade of DAC and CD Transport as well. Once she heard them partnered with more appropriate source components she understood!!! To top it all off, Nick is an absolute pleasure to deal with both before and after receiving the speakers. Highly recommend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
