That's a nice dedicated workout space mate. Really tops! I don't have all that gear, just a flat bench, few mats, a rowing machine, and about 100kgs of dumbbells, that's more than adequate. I just realised I need to get an incline bench! My man-****s are starting to show and the wifey is getting...

Hot damn! Now that's a "big dog!" Woof! Yes, take it easy mate, those younger days put us out of whack. I used to play rugby at national level for New England under 24. Lasted only 6yrs, with multiple dislocations, thankfully no fractures as such, and three concussions! The wifey always says...

On another note, speaking of garages... I've noticed something, just wanted to check if this is somewhat accurate or not. When I lived in Chicago, many moons ago, I noticed that the majority of homes actually use their garages to park their cars. Very few use the garage as an entertainment/ home...

Ah yes, in fact I completely missed that. Definitely not all garage doors are made the same and not all occupants are built the same. Our door is a very light chintzy flimsy thing, and on well oiled rollers, sometimes the wifey & kiddo lift it so hard that one day it's going to blow off the...

This is a very good point. I'm not sure what brand of switches they use down unda but I've come across quite a number of disasters from other mates who've installed automatic or electric garage doors. They've had issues with the switches, motors and installations as well. Some of the chaps had...

Sir of the Blues: Doug Macleod Just listening to this one right now... superbly done! Having been used to Keb Mo, Eric Bibb, BB etc., this guy takes it to another level! Absolutely outstanding and on a fine label, Quality Reference Recordings on 45rpm. Now I've collected about 5 of his albums...

That's a definite! Can certainly confirm the Quad and Infinity failures. Quad was an absolute disaster after the China town production... apart from that, their earlier models had a better production run. With Infinity's, over a certain period what I experienced was multiple failures in...

G'day maties, trust y'all are enjoying those fine tunes! Not quite sure if I posted this one... anyway just in case I missed it. Another fantastic album from a duet with Anne Bisson and this French cellist. Superb work! The arrangements are really tops and the way he blends in the cello with...

110% agreed Robbo mate. This extremely light Mylar, which is even lighter than the pure ribbon foil, is the perfect interface to signal response it was first discovered by R Kellogg somewhere in the 20's. At that time they couldn't make it commercially viable due to unstable materials being...

Just to add on another note referring to the direction of ML's future; I've owned nearly every Maggie model from the MGIIIA to the MG20.1. With the only exceptions of the MG20.7's and 30.7's. I've had various Infinity's from the Kappa's, Ren90, Epsilon and the IRS 1B's. Also had Apogee Diva's...

Interesting points as stated above by few members regarding the new look and design of the Masterpiece line and the CLX's. I'll add my 50cts worth: 1. The new Masterpiece line is a phenomenal breakthrough in hybrid stat design. It incorporates many things that the previous Reserve line or...

They'll definitely be onto something, not sure exactly what though. In my opinion, they've done everything to near perfection with the latest hybrids, being the Masterpiece series. They perfected the full range stat and ended off with the CLX's, so no longer made. They launched the Statements...

Spot on Brad225! Most owners whom I knew at the time who had CLSIIz's, went into either Apogee or Maggie territory as part of moving on... since ML didn't offer anything until the CLX's arrived, which was many years later. I know a few owners who also went the horn route, with Avant Garde Horns...

Yes correct. As I said I must have missed out on a few items... the pricing quoted by the dealer was all items/ gadgets included plus the Bacch software, so not just one of items. Quite pricey but indeed does work quite well in tricky room set-ups. Good stuff though. Cheers, RJ

Oh yeah, that Bacch software gizmo. I meant to respond to this but forgot about it, simply because it wasn't a game charger for me. Sorry, I didn't report on it earlier in that previous thread... can't even remember which one it was. Anyway, I went to the demo for what it's worth (this was...

Oh no way, no chance mate. I've elaborated this very topic at great lengths, given the specs of the CLX's, which are very misleading. Hence, the reason why I simply don't take specs as the holy grail... only as guidelines. Just to reiterate for you: 1. The CLSIIz's are great on their own and...

Yes, the CLSIIz's were fantastic stats, I drove them supremely well with a single CJ Premier 11A. Just 70w/ch of tube finesse, partnered with a CJ PV12, it was my blissful bliss after hours, leading into the wee hours of the morning. However, one thing I will point out is that the CLSIIz's were...

Regarding the other member's post on whether ML is retiring its ESL line... considering this factor then moving towards B&W's makes perfect sense 🤔 Ok then, B&W it is! Either way, enjoy those fine tunes! Woof! RJ

Mmm... that's definitely a good question and something to ponder... It would be quite bad or shall I say sad to learn that ML may only consider its box design types as they venture into the next few decades. Yes, ESL's aren't for everyone nor can they work optimally in every type of room. It...

With all do respect for this hobby / passion and enthusiasm for othets, and of course with respect to B&W's; Going from ML to B&W's is going backwards in my opinion. Unless he was using the top of the line diamon D4 series speakers, even at that price ML's Ren15a's will hit those out of the park...
