I remember seeing the EV Patrician and the Klipsch La Scala at Toronto HiFi when I was kid. I'd gone in to look at the new Garrard 1019 turntable and got distracted. The salesman happily demonstrated those speakers and a pair of electrostatics that were something like 5 feet high, a foot and a half wide and only an inch and a half deep. As I recall, they didn't have the big bottom but they had a very even sound. Jake On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 11:56 PM, M.
