Got the speakers today. They look fantastic for being almost 60 years old! Unfortunately, my friend couldn’t find the power cords and they have a proprietary receptacle, so I’ll have to adapt some power cords to fit. Going to do that tomorrow and hook them up to the Conrad Johnson Premiere 140...

For all you guys that have been clamoring for my system pics, here is…my next system. 😂 The KLH Model Nines:

Thanks, Jon. I’m planning on the AudioControl Maestro X7 or X9, unless I really stretch the budget for the Trinnov. I want the Trinnov, but at two to three times the price of the other options it’s a stretch. I’m going for SCL-3 for LCR, SCL-7 for wide, side and rear surrounds, and SCL-5 for...

Thanks, Robert. ICF is becoming more popular in the states. My builder actually specializes in it. I agree with you that steel framing is likely to become more common as well. By the way, the “lot” I’m building on is 28 acres. We’ve owned it for 20 years and have been planning to build for a...

It’s slightly more expensive, but exact numbers will vary by region. Could be anywhere from 5% to 15% more expensive. Although with the volatility of wood framing costs over the past couple of years it may not be as much, depending on prices when you buy your wood. At least ICF forms, concrete...

Thanks. This is pretty much what everyone who has heard them says about them. I can’t wait to hear them for myself. I’m going over tomorrow to see them and I’ll know more then. I’ll definitely post some pics. Hey Gordon! It’s going to be awhile. We are about to apply for the building permit...

Thanks, Jon. I do see it somewhat my duty as an audiophile to restore this pair to their full glory. I very well may decide to unload the Ascents and will let you know when I make that decision. Would love to have you guys come over and check out our new house once it’s built. I’m going to have...

Hey guys. Been a long time since I’ve posted in the forum. Between raising a teenage daughter, getting ready to build a house, and focusing on other hobbies, I’ve been crazy busy and distracted by things other than hifi. But I recently had an interaction with an old friend that may change that...

Cool idea, Alan! I could even give everyone a virtual tour of my system. 😜

Hey Tim. Lol, I haven’t listened to my system in months. Still need to download the latest firmware and fire it up again. Just been busy with too many other things.

Hey Dave. Almost. She turns 12 next week. Hi Jon. I’ll definitely do it next time I’m over there. Would love to see you.

Hi Dave. Paraphrasing Mark Twain... the report of my disappearance has been greatly exaggerated. I haven’t been on the forum in awhile. Just been focusing on other things besides audio lately. And spending too much time on reddit. But I try to check in on occasion. As for running for Congress...

Lol, Captain-M, this post was 12 years ago. I couldn’t begin to remember how long this took. I probably did the testing over the course of a few weeks. But I’ve changed my setup a lot since this post was written. I managed to pull the Summits out from the front wall by a little more than four...

Welcome back, my fellow Alabaman.

Bingo! This, right here. /thread

And this brings us full circle, back to the original question. What the heck is going on with ML’s brand if their high end ESL speakers are being shown off at Best Buy hooked up to a Denon receiver? Can’t be good for them.

Congrats on the purchase, Mobs. Sounds like you fell into a heck of a deal. Now you can sell your Montis and you will have upgraded to a much better speaker for a reasonable net outlay. Always nice when things work out like that.

Timm, for years I used Frank’s balanced cables to connect my AR Ref3 preamp to my Sanders monoblocs, and his silver resolution speaker cables from monoblocs to Summits. My CJ equipment doesn’t use balanced, so now I have Frank’s RCA cabling between DSD, pre, and amp. And I’m using his copper...

Well, guess I called that one. :ROFL: And no, Dave, we have no pro teams. Nearest are the Titans or Falcons. But I have never really cared that much for the Pro game. I love college football, though. And both games tonight were great!

Georgia and Alabama win and we have an all-SEC National Championship game! What’s that? You were talking about pro football? Oh, never mind...
