Excellent! Now that's outstanding service and customer support. It goes a long way... Enjoy those fine tunes! Definitely deserves a mighty WOOF! RJ

OTOH with reference to speakers, it's good to consider the specs, just to be familiar with what you're up against. Obviously the amplifier/s driving the speakers will deliver an outstanding performance or a very mediocre one. Whichever performance it delivers will determine its overall standard...

There was a chap on one of our amplifier forums who highly sought after specs and nothing but specs. So just as a gig, we posted him a spec sheet and asked him to compare it to the other amps we were using at the time (Parasound, Bryston, Krell, Sunfire, Mark Levinson etc.) After a few posts, he...

That sounds about right. With regards to the Reserve line, I first started with the Ethos, having sold off my Quads (ESL 2905 & 2912). Then I went onto the Montis, and later the Summit but actually kept the Ethos, for whatever reason, it gelled well with all parameters (system matching + room)...

Yes, very true. ML's can actually play quite loud at very high levels with zero distortion. Getting the amplifier match is very critical and once that's achieved, it's definitively a marvelous thing! Currently having CLX's, and whenever I get the chance to audition those big Ren15A's or the...

Yes!!! I was just thinking about those Cervin Vega's. I had a room mate who had those huge damn Cervin Vega's and used to crank it up to max with his 200w Onkyo Receiver. He used to blast out Dire Straits, Hooti & The Blow Fish and Dave Mathews Band. Really loud, could be heard from all the way...

Just a quick note worth a mention: don't forget ML's are for enjoying real music the way it was intended from the original recording. By no means are these party speakers! So be careful not to crank up too high... I've come across quite a number of disasters during my undergrad years. Their...

Ah! It's none other than John Connor, son of Sarah Connor... cyberdine is in good hands, the terminator machines will be terminated and the human race will live on... as long as there's ML stats! Welcome to MLO matey, and greetings from down unda. Oh man, I remember those student years, this...

This one! Fantastic! Sounds superb with a full sense of 3D holographic detail, the group is right there in front of me. An excellent recording. Cheers, RJ

Very true and sound advise. But ARC will not reduce prices on their REF series and sell for low profit. This is a no-go zone for them. Rather, they need to introduce a line with all the ARC-ness and high definition tube quality, make it entry-level, and make sure the damn thing sounds good. Put...

Mmm... this is not good. Certainly didn't see this coming. Well, what I meant was, I didn't expect this from Trent Suggs!!! He should have known better. This is what happens when you borrow more than you could afford to lose, and not paying back ends up in debt and you're labelled as "default."...

Trent Suggs seemed like a great chap, always put his "associates" first not employees... he also had great passion and experience in the brand. Wonder how he messed it up, 🤔 maybe it wasn't even his fault to begin with. Anyway, person at the top has to take the flack. Interesting times ahead...

Good one good one 👍

Yes fair point. Hopefully the damage done isn't too deep. Otherwise we'll have to send in Phil Lowe to sort it out... what a disaster he's caused for everyone in general (down unda). From what I was informed is that Trent S did do his best or at least thought he was... until it hit the fan, so...

I don't think it's a biggy... production, testing and packaging, plus tech support and service depts are in full swing running... so they're back-end is operational. It's their front-end that requires new leadership/ ownership. Once sorted, ARC's good to go! Like I said, if no one puts their...

Would have certainly been nice to have such shows here. Since our last decent one, which was in Nov 2017, the ones after that were absolutely useless. Nearly every source is predominantly streaming, zero TT's, zero analog. Hardly anything to gain or learn from, other than have a good laugh...

Ha! Roosters crowing 🐓... next it'll be cows mooing! 🐄 🐄 🐄

Sure are! Those Moon 888's can launch the next mission to the moon! so to speak. They have an incredible amount of high current capacity, very high and stable voltage, so that combination of amperage plus voltage will deliver plenty of power (watts) to drive very difficult loads, and they handle...

Yes, interesting point there mate. I had a very similar experience with Sim audio's moon power amps, except for the massive Moon 888 monoblocks. Those are on a totally different topology in power amp dual tranny design. They cost a bloody fortune, so at that price range, there's far better...

They do have dynamics, very good transient control and great soundstage depth but they have to be driven properly. When I first helped a very good mate of mine set up his MG30.7's, he was using a full array of McIntosh amps, MC462, MC452 and MC301. It drove the 30.7's just about ok to certain...
