Sanders makes some very good stuff, I used to be a rep for him, ages ago, and got him into the NY show a long time ago.
One thing, on the older speakers, bass was not always well integrated with the panels. It was not a matter of dynamic vs. planar but there was something fundamentally wonky with the crossover design. Long after I lost contact with Roger I found a review which explained it in more detail. If you have any of those, it’s worth researching.

I have the new ones, aluminum driver, etc.. Super sweet. |
I heard the full Sanders Sound System at T.H.E. Show in Newport. The 10E’s were driven by a pair of his stereo Magtech amps (900 w/ch) along with his preamp + room correction software. Fantastic! The music had incredible dynamics. The panels were very well integrated with the transmission-line bass drivers. I still remember my ears perking up at the snap of the snare drum - while, the standup bass was full-bodied and tuneful. The system easily handled whatever they threw at it - rock, orchestral, singer/songwriter . . . Congrats on your upgrade!

Interesting, Roger has never shied away from DSP technology. His panels were quite nice and needed a lot less correction than some other famous brands, so I imagine the combination is pretty stunning. :)

Thank you very much everyone. I was listening well in to the night. I have heard harmonies I have never heard before (Styx Grand Illusion - no big deal recording wise (incredible album musically) and like I heard it for the first time). I have always read about hearing into the mix" and now see what it means. The violins from violas are incredibly distinct and the reverb from a bass string doesn't smear up the rest of the music (in my small room). "Linear Bass" as Roger calls it, is a beautiful thing. |
Roger and Angela are the best! Great people and company.

I heard the 10e system at AXPONA this year and thought it sounded amazing. I spent over an hour in the room and did not want to leave. Shortly after that I was told about a possible sale of a pair of Innersound EROS MKIII speakers which Roger designed some years ago. They came with the crossover/bass amp. The price was too good to ignore so I bought them. They sound great. I bought the LMS (loudspeaker management system) which is part of the 10e system and can be sold separately. The integration with the EROS put a huge smile on my face. These stats are world class. The panels are driven by a Magtech. I also have a Sanders preamp. My wife is now complaining (commenting?) that I listen to too much music. If you can find an EROS MKIII system BUY IT and buy the LMS system. Details are on the Sanders Sound website. You will reach a new level of musical happiness. If you can buy a Sanders 10e system BUY IT and be prepared for an incredible musical adventure. |
Rayd - you actually DO get to listen to the music with Rogers system. |
Hi Cerrot
I got my system about three month ago. I can't compare it to the 10d but it sounds great, and the new crossovr is an excellent upgrade.
The listening experience is new, and I started listening to my all music collection again. It's like buying new albums.
Thanks for your offer, from the past, to visit you and hear the 10d, I saw it too late so...
enjoy the music. |
That sounds wonderful, Imomo. I have been listening 'for the first time', many old recording as well. A mind blower for me were those 'poorly' recorded 1970's CD's. Well, so far, they sound pretty incredible! Even a POOR recording like The Supremes has soundstage and depth. These usually sound flat and uninvolving. No longer. |
The Sanders Sound System certainly does sound outstanding! It does so because it is indeed a total system. This is it's key to it's sonic greatness. It sounded great at the Newport Beach show. If I ever start over and leave my SET amps and Horn speakers, I will go straight to their room and place my order.

This thread is over a year old but had to chime in. I purchased the Sanders 10e "system" about 3 months ago and haven't looked back. They are everything everyone says about them a complete hi-end speaker system, nothing is lacking IMHO. Yes they require bi-amping and and a bunch of extra ac cords, especially if you are using mono-block amps but well worth the effort.

I heard his demo system at RMAF this year....it was shockingly good. |
If any of you guys would like to sell me your old sanders equipment then please let me know! |
