I'm shocked at how good these speakers sound. I believe they were built around the late 1970s. I replaced the speakers with all new parts and used the original crossovers.
Those were like my old 1978 speakers . Loved them . Wish I didn’t sell em . Amazing sound

I have 4 ESS AMT 1a's and they still sound as good as the day I bought them. Had to have the woofers reconed when the surrounds turned to dust but other than that. Great speakers!!

I have the 1Am model and I love them. I recently purchased tekton double impact speakers, and I am going to sell those because my the vintage ESS sound better than the Tektons.

I have a pair from the late 90's during ESS' second iteration. They sound amazing, and I'm thinking of making them Active with DSP... Also, yours were built more recently, when ESS was resurrected again and relocated to So Cal from Sacramento.

How do the Ribbons compare in your opinion to dome tweeters? Do they beam at all?

Hi, do you think the bottom 2 plate is removeable or is it part of the sealed box? If the box is sealed before they put on these 2 wood plate, then it might be able to remove and put on som nicer looking steel feet or plate. I have same speaker but have not taken apart for repair yet best regards.

The bottom piece or plate is manufactured as part of the cabinet, but the feet can always be changer out. Also, ESS sells new replacement ribbons and speaker drivers if needed, making them sound and perform like new again. I ended up giving those speakers to my daughter and she really enjoys them.

How much would a original set of these be worth. Without restoring. Id say the pair i have are a 7/10 all around condition wise and they play great.

The height of the soundstage is lower on the ESS, midrange is subdued and not pronounced with very inaccurate bass

Nice video brother. How do they compare to your dynaudio temptation? Looking at a pair here in so cal. Are both speakers active or is there a passive radiator in there? Thank you

If you’re asking about the ESS speakers, one of the woofers is a passive radiator, and after a total rebuild, they sound incredible! The ESS tweeters sound more clear than my Dynaudio, but 3d sound isn’t close.
