Congrats on the Peachtree amp. Just to add, I've got to the stage of home trials on 13 different power amplifiers for my CLX's. Still prefer tubes though, and I'm currently using a full array of conrad johnson amplifiers at its finest. I won't ever sell this gear because of the special mods...

G'day Malc Just came across your post... not sure why no one replied sooner, and basically took nearly two months for one reply. Anyway, can definitely relate to this, apart from Maggie's, Apogee's and ML stats, I've also owned several Quad ESL's. At the time the ESL 63's were hoisted on...

Getting back to the original topic; I sincerely believe that ML customer service is still top level down unda, so no issues here. I hope that remains on par across the US and other countries. Woof! RJ

Can certainly relate to that. Bro has a E700 series top of the line AMG Hybrid sports. Damn thing shat itself after the warranty period, now sits in the garage and no parts for the hybrid battery or something to that effect. He can only drive short distances before it has a hissy fit. So...

Correct! But I prefer A-I (actual intelligence) and not the artificial one... Woof! RJ

Yeah correct. Very soon it will be a fully clad cyborg, so when you're holding the line for too long... it will reply "I'll be back!" Bloody AI. Creepy stuff I'd say. Would like to stay away from it. Until such time, enjoy those fine tunes! Cheers and happy new year to y'all 🎉 😀 Woof! RJ

Yep, same here. Over here (down unda) we go through our ML importer Audio Active. Or you can go through ML HQ direct if you prefer... either way their service is tops! Never had any issues since 2018. I actually prefer to go through our Aussie importers rather than Anthem in Canada. Bit too tad...

Nice one on the ESL 2805's. If you can play these well without any hiccups... they're beautiful stats, full range. I had the 2805, 2905's, and 2912's, I guess for my bad luck either the QC chic or QC supervisor were on a smoke break, because none of those ESL's lasted the warranty. Multiple...

Yes, agree with ttocs. McIntosh is one of those makes that vary from model to model and the variance isn't marginal. I'm not sure what it is, whether it's the auto-formers... unlike most well designed SS gear, where their Output power doubles or triples as impedence swing drops, in the case of...

Oh yeah, those snobbish kitties! I was never a cat lover just hated them. Compared to doggies, at least they wagged their tails, ears flapping and appreciated when they were walked! Good boy, woof! But then we migrated to Aus... and having doggies here is a whole different ball game. So, we...

Good choice on the Ren15a's, outstanding! The sheer brilliance of these stats comes with the associated gear driving them. The better the gear, the better they perform regardless of price. SOTA stat hybrids and real vfm when considering other lofty speaker systems, and these Ren15a's are right...

Oh nice one maaate! That's a massive bargain, even Nordost cables being listed. Oh my! We would never see anything like this down unda, no chance Charlie! All that gear listed is truly tops, from the ML hybrids to the CLX's, and other gear like Classe and Parasound, really nothing more you...

With the Melos amps, there was always something to hold our breath... either a static problem when the warm-up circuit was engaged or that annoying hum even afterwards. On difficult loads and low efficiency speakers, like Apogee's, Maggie's or older ML stats, this hum wasn't that noticeable but...

Oh, what a wonderful project you embarked on. Yes! Those Melos amps were a pain in the butt to get going without hassles. On certain days they operate fine and on other days they crap out. I can't even remember the number of times we sent these monoblocks to our techie to fix. Once we received...

Roger that Captain! Ren15a's are awesome, without a doubt! The most notable aspects of these hybrid stats came out in top flight with these amplifiers: CJ ART150, VTL mb 700 series, VAC Statements, Pass Labs XS300's and XA160.8's. The combination of preamps ranged from Dan D's Momentum, Vac...

Ah! Melos! Oh, nice one mate. I had these very same monoblocks driving a pair of Maggie MG3 5/r panels, superb drive and control. Another mate of mine also used these very same amps on his Maggie's as well, plus later on he switched over to Avant Garde Horns. The Melos were way too powerful for...

G'day Leg, just came across your post. Ah! The CLS... beautiful stats! Those were the glory days of ML, apart from the mighty Statement Evo-II's. As having previously owned the CLSIIz's, have successfully driven these stats "full range" no subs- with the following SS amps as far as memory...

Original Quad ESL's... as in the ESL 57 or 63? I had both but they were quite finicky. Under powered amps, in terms of low current & inadequate stable voltages, wouldn't do it. Then again, the bigger amplifiers would over-drive it, causing them to arc! Not a pretty sight, and would cause holes...

Stop the train! Eve Anna Manley! The best of customer service! It doesn't get any better than her genuine correspondence directly with the customer. I'm not sure how she does it and how she manages the time... but her service and tech support is Outstanding! With a capital "O". I owned their...

Ah! True. In fact, I was to a certain extent. Many years ago in a galaxy far away... When I finished up my under-grad in Chicago (May of 98), I remember very clearly my Sales & Marketing research lecturer said one thing that was solid advice, "if you're planning on selling anything, just make...
