Ricky, I have a question regarding the speakers.

The EB Acoustics website does not state the power handling figures. The WHF review states 100W.

Is this correct? And what is the peak rating?

Thanks in advance.
 
Don't know what game people are playing, but I'd be stunned if EB Acoustics didn't know the result of the reviews.

These are speakers, after all, not a long-awaited breakthrough in medical science.

Tarquinh. Trust me when I say I DO NOT KNOW the outcome of the review. No-one has told me, I don't get a complimentary copy of the mag so I go and buy it just like you.
 
Another one in the eye for the 'WHFSV in the pocket of the manufacturers' conspiracy theorists, really...

Would have grabbed a copy off the server and sent it to Ricky myself in response to this thread, but as explained elsewhere on the Forums this afternoon, my internet connection is currently in 'limp home' mode.

You'dve got it back with a curt response if you did Andrew. Rules are rules. For both sides. I can wait til I get my copy the legitimate way.

Hi Ricky, in that case I do apologise. Looks like you are getting a copy now, which is good.

No. My copy won't find me until the 28th-29th which is when my local mag shop wakes up.

Indeed, and the rule around these parts is that once the subscribers start to receive their copies, it's perfectly OK for us on the editorial team to show those whose products have been reviewed copies of the reviews, discuss the outcomes with them, etc..

Oh yeah. Forgot that didn't I?

Great!

There's another issue I won't need to buy now.

Although if I have correctly interpreted stumpy66's last post, then there is going to be a major meltdown at a certain ATC dealership in Derby.

All the best.

Thought I would leave a word as I started this thread 🙂 I ordered my EB1s back in march, received them at the beginning of June, now I came back home after 7 weeks of not being at home and was finally able to plug them into my Rotel RA-04.

Very happy with my purchase, thought I'd let Ricky now! Quite a long wait, but acceptable considering the time I am planning to keep them.

Thanks for the delivery!
 
Interested to note that the EB2 is now listed as best buy £600-£1000. Very much looking forward to mine arriving tomorrow! And to reading the group test write-up...
 
willgaunt:Interested to note that the EB2 is now listed as best buy £600-£1000.

Well done EB.

(Can someone adjust the ATC SCM11 reviewed price to it's current RRP? It looks about £90 cheaper here on WHF than it's present price of £956*.)

*From three dealers selected from ATC's UK dealer list... (1)... (2)... (3)
 
Andrew Everard:It's not a group test: it's a direct head-to-head comparison.

Fair enough - still haven't read it! Am still interested!
 
Andrew Everard:It's not a group test: it's a direct head-to-head comparison.

Just read it. 6 times to be sure of my opinion.

In the past, the SCM11's have been used as the reference for other loudspeakers. Now the "Ol' Timer" and "The new kid on the block" can be used together as a reference. Between the two of them, the competition will have to work very hard to get within a mile. SCM11 used to head them off on it's own. Now, it's got some help. Nice to know that 2 BRITISH companies can still cut the mustard in the myriad of far eastern kit, both good and not good.

I'm actually pleased that the SCM11 kept it's 5 stars. I'll say it once more, then no further comment. ATC SCM11 is one helluva speaker!!!!.
 
Perhaps - as a manufacturer - diplomacy might be preventing you from pointing out that the ATC SCM11s cost about £285 more than the EB2s!

(SCM11s are £956 according to at least three dealers from the ATC dealer list that publish prices)

At these prices (£669 for EB2 and £956 for SCM11s) £285 is a significant sum.

We can all stop winking, now that you've read it
 
Yep well done Ricky.

Question is.... will you be able to cope with the possible orders for EB2 and EB1..?

Some thoughts-

1. Your website dosen't say whether the EB2 is Bi-wireable or not.

2. Would be nice to have more pictures of the speakers, perhaps a side and rear shot, and a close up of the 2 finishes available.

3. Also, tho I realise you print the dimensions on the website, I think you should show a photo giving an impression of how big/small each speaker is. Perhaps show them side-by-side. You don't want people sending back pairs of EB2s saying 'I didn't realise how big they were going to be...'

Just my thoughts.

jules.
