Hi Cliff, Based on a recommendation on these pages, I ordered bi-amp, silver wires from Signal Cable. Let me tell you, they have made my Theos sound excellent. The bass is vice-grip tight and the treble silky smooth. Contact Frank at Signal Cable and you will be very pleased. The pricess...

We all are victims of ML bug. Because when it comes to imaging, transparency and accuracy of human voice and strings, nothing can touch a stat ML speaker. I hope you end up buying the Montis.

Welcome to the ML universe Tucker! My Theos are bi-amped - 125W/C. I have to say the bass is very taut and articulate. Your 250W amps may even have a higher damping factor exerting more control over the woofer. If I were you, I'd go with the Theos and down the raod, if need be, purchase a...

Hi Tom, Can I ask what brand/model of speakers you have ordered?

I am bi-amping these babies and they sing like a canary. If you are buying a set of $5K speakers, you should invest in an amp around $2K and speaker cable close to $500. I think these estimates will ensure you will squeeze out most of their capabilities.

Hi Crusty, I realize it has been almost six years since your last post regarding this matter. I want to upgrade my cables for my Theos and am wondering if your use of the Ultras for the bass and Silver for the ESL provided the best possible sound. I will apreciate any other hints you may provide.

If you are connecting one speaker to two channels on your amp, you are going to damage the amp by causing a short. You cannot "reverse bi-wire".

I have owned a pair of light-oak Mordaunt Short Mezzo 1 for six years for the rear surround duty. They sound excellent and look great. You should be able to find them used for $300.

I bet Anthem (sister company of ML) will fine-tune their very good amps to be even more suitable to drive ML speakers.

Welcome aboard 2chman from the Promise Land. Tell us more about your upstream gear.

Wow Tom, that is an awsome adventure. A similar trip (with an SUV) is on the bucket list for me and my wife.

I have the same order. The weights I'd assign are: 40 30 20 10

Try to audition a Pass Lab amp also before you pull the trigger.

Great-looking set of Theos. As has been discussed in these pages, your Theos will greatly benefit with a high-current, stable (into 2 ohms) power amp.

I agree with others and want to add there is no point buying a receiver if you are not going to use its amp section. I bet you more than half of the cost of a decent receiver is burried in the amp section.

Salutation to another Canuck! Wow, you have got a great deal on the Vistas. Indeed, the extra 30 watts will not cut it for you. The Vistas desrve an amp with massive power supplies. Your current receiver capacitors' total offer is less than 15,000 micro Farads. Whereas a typical amp will...

Try to be extra nice to your lady and she may let you get away with $1500-2000. Now, you can buy a nice Bryston, Classe, or Adcom on the used market.

You should exercise caution as not to damage the Montis. It is obvious that the NAD is struggling with the current requirement. I am assuming you have dropped over $10K for these sperkaers but you are trying to mate them with an amp which was not clearly designed for this task. You should...

The remainder inventory of Descents and Depths are being offered at very attractive prices. You should be able to get a Descent for $2k. I would choose this over the 210.

As others have said, keep a mid-fi system for when you want to get down and rock hard with sub-par rock recordings. For anything else, especially recent concerts on Blu Ray, MLs are second to none.
