Haha, well said! I would also add, when you ask your significant other, "Wow, did you just hear the difference?" and the response is a clear "No, not at all. How much more did you just spend??" I would try to demo first to hear the difference between the newer designed narrower panel and the...

Still available, here are some pics! Excellent condition, I have babied these and paired them with only high end components. Currently, using a Vitus RI-101 amp (amazing combo). Cables have been high end AQ (Oak, Thunderbird), now Ansuz. I took pics of the only blemishes I could find. One...

At that price point I would definitely check out the Lumin U1 Mini. For streaming, I don't think it gets better in terms of stability and support. http://www.luminmusic.com/lumin-u1-mini.html This is coming from experience, I am very picky and have loved every Lumin DAC/streamer I have had...

Hi All, Putting a feeler out for my excellent condition Impression 11A speakers in Piano Black + ARC Kit. We moved to a new house and the listening room is too small for the speakers. I am a huge Martin Logan fan so this is a major bummer, these are fantastic but are just too deep for the...

Other than room dimensions and placement, I have found the biggest single impact of any component is the amp. I have a pair of 11As and have gone through a few amps and cables. An amp with enough power reserves work like magic in my opinion. I went from a McIntosh mc452 (too warm) to a Luxman...

I would think of it this way...do you need to have a library management system or just a streamer, next question is do you need a DAC built-in. Sounds like you want all, so the next question is do you want to use Roon (which costs money and a separate sever) or want built-in everything with...

Aurender is great if you have an extensive library already and you don’t use Roon. Lumin is fantastic for streaming and Roon, though you can connect an external HDD to access existing libraries. I have owned both the D2 and T2 and they are great. T2 is one of the best quality streaming DACs...

I recently demoed then bought a Vitus RI-101 for my 11As. If this fits in the budget, it is a must to listen. I have never heard an amp have crisp highs, tube like mids, and very powerful yet controlled bass. Going from Luxman 509X to the Vitus was like adding 1-2 subwoofers to my system.

Albert’s great! Almost everything he has recommended has been pretty spot on.

You should look at the new speakers ML is coming out with. https://youtu.be/ijtAZJmbsCs I have heard they will be available early next year.

Did you get a chance to hear the Luxman m900u in your search? I recently demoed the Luxman m900u with MLs and it was hands down one of the best sounding amps I have heard for the price point. Combined sweets crisp highs, warmth, and tight bass control. Also heard the BHK 300’s and felt a...

In my opinion the out of pocket low enough I would do it, that is if you have the space for them (they go far deeper than the older models). You are getting the latest technology, which in theory, will give you a better panel/bass integrations, not that the Theos is bad in this area at all...

First, don’t stress too much about it! :) ML has the best customer service I have seen from any company. Even if something went wrong they will troubleshoot and send you the right part to fix. All the electronics are one tray on the base the speaker so super easy for them to help you fix...

Thanks for the Update! Just out of curiosity, do you remember which McIntosh gear they demoed with the 13As last year?

If vacuuming doesn’t help, then it is most likely the panel. Same thing happened to my Source speakers. Thought something was off, did some tests like you did, and ended up sending the panels in to ML. Long story short they tested and there was a 3db difference between panels. Also, try...

I currently have 11As paired with a MC452. In my search for a good 2ch preamp decided to move to an integrated for now. Anyone have experience with the Luxman 509x or the Diablo 120? Thanks!

Looking great, congrats! Like having brand new speakers without spending 3x more. Really like the color, great work on the paint!

Improvement in sound aside, does anyone know if the replacing the plastic feet on the 11As with Gaia’s will help with vibration through the floor? We want to be able to play music at decent levels but don’t want to bother the downstairs neighbor. Anyone have experience of which sizes to get to...

Are you planning on connecting the analog out on the CD player to your Denon, then Denon to XA30.8? Almost all Denons do not have a true analog pass through, even in pure direct mode. The Marantz models with the analog 7.1 inputs are the only ones that can pass through unprocessed analog...

I have always been a huge McIntosh fan myself, only recently was able to get an amp. When I recently upgraded to the 11As, same panel size as Montis, I needed to get a new amp. I heard the mc275VI matched with the 11As and they sounded great, though it wasn't a long demo. I ended up picking...
