Agreed. I had the 40's sounding pretty good in my space, after a few years of tweaking them and dialing them in. But when we moved them to Jason's living room, they immediately sounded better than they ever had in my home. His space is just more conducive to large speakers like that. Now that he's been dialing them in for a few months and upgrading his system, it's pretty amazing sounding. I'm not jealous, because they would never sound that good in my home, due to seating and placement limitations that I have.
On the other hand, the Elsinores are the perfect size for my room, and with the new tweeter and the recent dialing in I've done to the crossover, they sound better than the 40's did. There's something to be said for having an appropriately sized speaker for your listening space.
We've had family visiting over the past couple of weeks, so no progress on getting the leather & paint applied, but hopefully I'll make some headway in the next couple of weeks or so. I'll post pics as I do make progress.
