EgglestonWorks Isabel Awesome and Lovely!

The are amazing speakers. The sound is the best I have heard for less than $3,500. They are in excellent condition and sound better that my Wilson WP 6 from 50 Hz up.

From SoundStage:

The Isabel is a gorgeous piece of work. Cabinet walls start as two layers of 5/8" MDF adhered together with a vibration-damping material used in the floorboards of European trains. The front, rear, and beveled top surfaces are finished in a polished resin, requiring 16 (!) sanding and polishing tools. Finally, EgglestonWorks' trademark Italian-granite side panels, 1/2" thick for the Isabels, are mounted. The result is a very heavy, very inert, and very beautiful enclosure measuring 91/2"W x 13"D x 15"H and tipping the scales at 55 pounds.

The driver compliment consists of one 1" cloth-dome tweeter with a large-diameter vent on its pole piece and a large aperiodic damping chamber that imitates infinite-baffle loading. This is the famed Dynaudio Esotar used in other speaker models, including those from EgglestonWorks, and known as being one of the costliest tweeters available. The Morel woofer is a 6" polypropylene, double-magnet driver with a 3" voice coil. This driver is run full range and loaded in a single aperiodic, vented box. The crossover point is 3.5k. Internal goodies include Transparent wire, Hovland Musicaps, and Vishay resistors. Claimed frequency response is from -3dB at 60Hz to well beyond 24kHz. Stated efficiency is 87dB, with an impedance of 8 ohms nominal, 6.3 ohms minimum.

Finally, a word about the grilles, which are simply the finest I have (not) heard. While the mounting technique, a thin steel grille frame attached via magnets buried underneath the laminate, is not terribly unique, the grille material is. Quoted as "an extremely transparent material," it looks like nylon to me, like women’s hosiery. The thinness of the steel frame should cause very little, if any, diffraction effects. This coupled with the acoustic transparency of the grille material makes for the first grille in my experience that has virtually no effect on the high frequencies. Very, very well done.
