They ended up a core part of my audio life. What were these strange speakers just standing by the side of the road, begging for a home? If I hadn't stopped, I'd never have known. though they needed new foams and I could only play them a few seconds, they obviously gave me an extra octave down low. A bookshelf speaker system from the Tempest series. Blew my mind they could compete with the Quads in the Highs, and far surpassed them in the Bass.

That pair, my first-ever Heils (AMT-1) were a sidewalk find, I knew nothing about them, I only knew they were speakers because of the big woofers. Quads were famous for their speed and transparency in the Treble, so hearing the AMT alongside them was a can-this-be-real kind of experience. I was using Quad 63 electrostatics, also di-polar, when I got my first Heils. I was walking through the set-up the the other day, adjusting the speakers, and the stage was so real I almost apologized to the Musicians for intruding. That's a virtue for some - but not me, I love the immersive sound. Overall I would certainly recommend these to anyone who appreciates the kind of lively sound and bass output only a larger speaker can produce coupled with a fairly flat frequency response and a nicely detailed and airy HF reproduction.The Power Ring and other small ones, for the most part, are not di-polar (or bi-: there's some debate which). I medio alti che escono da questo driver sono veramente particolari, e difficile focalizzare il punto di emissione, non a caso il progettista li definiva ' air trasformer'. The cabinet and connector quality is good, though not great. 2- Eclipse ESS Classic Pyramid Pedestal Bookshelf Speakers Heil Air Motion Pre-Owned 1,399.96 gordsgamesetc (4,427) 99.6 Was: 1,999. Si tratta di diffusorI sicuramente dallo stampo antico, basi piuttosto in evidenza e questo favoloso componente che e il tweeter di heil. The ESS are also fairly efficient- rated at 95 dB/W and they definitely require less juice than my Advents or EPI 100’s. A nice quality source, with for example, James Taylor playing the song Gaia, honestly shocked me at times- just amazing. The quality of sound that these speakers produce with that level of power is to me quite impressive at times. My current audio source is a Marantz 2270 and the ESS do very well with that unit. Both speakers have their virtues of course and it’s fun to be able to switch back and forth to hear the different things they each bring out in the music. I personally can no longer hear much over 13,000 hertz but my children can and they let me know the Heil AMT bested the famous Fried egg tweeter in that regard. They also produce a more lively sound and a more extended top end than the Advents. In comparison to my Large Advent speakers they don’t quite reproduce the very lowest registers as well but do reproduce useful output to frequencies of around 35 hertz. I have mine set about 20” from a rear wall and they are actually resting on top of my Large Advent speakers. Bass is quite good, although placement (possibly due to the 10 inch passive radiator at the rear of the cabinet) is certainly important in order for the sound to not become boomy. These do a fine job with their ability to make the music I listen to come alive, delivering a nice soundstage along with what I would call good spatial imaging. My musical interests generally lean in the direction of 60’s and beyond Pop and Rock with a wide variety of other genres mixed in except for hip-hop or Rap. These speakers can nicely fill a good sized room with a sound appearing larger than their actual size. The Heil air motion tweeter is really at the heart of what makes these special. The grilles and grille cloth are in excellent condition with no holes, rips, or snags. The cabinets have a few cosmetic blemishes but are very presentable.
