When I was a 2E we carried the ELS down to studio III for some
tests. The general concensus was that the bass was weak, compared with
JBL, Tannoy, Lockwood etc etc. The bass drum sound was very odd,
no "thump" at all, just lots of "whack" as someone described it.

Peter Walker once remarked that if you wanted more bass than the ELS
produced then one could kick a cardboard box in time to the music.


Walker was a bit of a chauvinist about his own products. ;-)
