Oh the ERRs excel with imaging, especially front to back. In my old home I sometimes had members of an orchestra playing in my front yard behind the windows of my living room which the ERRs were about six feet in front of! Bob Z told me one customer sent ERRs back because this was "not right" but it sure seems right to me if the recording is made with that sort of sonic perspective.
And as for the speicific image of an instrument, they excel at this. The last year or so my ERRs have been in duty at my parents house. I can't get them as far as I'd like out into the room there for spatial reproduction, but image "specificity" is excellent. Dad likes to listen to a particular Beethoven piano and cello sonata two cd set on Duetche Gramaphon and the piano and cello are so clearly delinieated on this . . . in a way it is not on any other set of speakers I've heard. You can hear each nuance of pedal movement and bow stroke, and not in a "detailed" analytical way, in a natural instrumenal way if that makes sense.
I would be surprised if Stone doesn't love his--my guess is that it will take him a while to get them, the wait is long on these historically. I've learned to love the HR-1s more, especially my most recent pair, but earlier in my joint history I could have said I preerred the ERRs, it is probably room and amplfier dependent. Both love the Torii.
