Duke, I have been an audiophile since 1972 when I purchased a Marantz 2270 receiver and a pair of Pioneer CS 99a speakers. back then it was simply connect a pair of copper wires and play.if you added a component just connect the RCA plugs. Todays equipment is a different beast. With the...

Yes I have the altitude32-16. I used the meridian 861 v8 but sold it about a month ago. I use it for multi channel. Changed from Meridian to achieve Dolby Atmos etc. GaryG

Thanks Brad for your impressions. That is pretty much what I would have expected. I have now had my 15a's for over a month and consider them to be one of the best speakers at the price and perfect for my needs. The size difference as seen in Shawn's picture was dramatic but there is also a big...

Sorry Len but I had to laugh at those "Accomplishments". I mean like wow she gave a commencement speech. SO. She was First Lady. Wow. She was Secratary of state. Oh what did she do as SoS. She traveled a lot. That list can't be serious. It must be a joke. GaryG

The Renaissance are 7 ft off the front wall and center of panel to center of panel is a 9 ft. Spread. They are connected to the same down stream equipment as the Neoliths with what I believe is no weak links. seigfreid II's tube amps withs 650 watts per channel Berkeley Audio Alpha rs DAC fed...

My Renaissance are in place and playing as I write this. My early impression is very positive. First I ordered these in Ferrari red to match the Neoliths as they are sitting next to the the Neoliths they nailed the color. Absolutely no difference in color between the one year old Neoliths and...

On amplification. I use the popular KT88 tubes. One tube already went out and needed to be replaced so a little extra maintenance has been required. also I am bi-amping with the Pass labs X600.8's on the bass. matching the gain difference between the amps was a little extra work but technical...

I've now owned my Neolith's for one year so let me post a short update. I have grown to enjoy the Neolith's more today than when I first received them. Familiarity here breeds love not contempt. For example, yesterday I put on the old but still fun Your Money For nothing. I enjoy all Dire...

There was some talk and strong emphasis on just talk about creating a super Neolith. that would be interesting but as they say talk is cheap a super Neolith would be anything but cheap. Just trying to start a rumor. GaryG

My Renaissance in Ferrari Red have arrived at Mike Ware's warehouse in Az. They will be delivered to me in Las Vegas next Wednesday. They will replace my Prodigy's as rears in my theater system. However, I will start out setting them where my Neoliths are and listening in two channel. this will...

Yes the Renaisance sounds great especially the bass and the bass integration with the panel. They plan on shipping in March MY order is first it may take a little longer because I ordered them in Ferrari red which takes longer.The bass is rated down to 22 Hz which is actually slightly better...

KEDAR I agree with you 100%. I have purchase and received a Trinnov Altituded32 fully loaded 16-32. I have contracted Curt Hoyt for setup. I'm unable to place either the Neolith or Renaisance for center due to height restrictions. I will start a new thread on this soon and discuss center...

I see your point on the nomenclature. I also thought perhaps they had plans for a a series of Renaissance speakers of various sizes. While at CES I asked and was told no they did not have plans for other Renaissance named speakers. Gary

Yes at CES they had a Summit next to a Rennisaance the Rennisance was larger with a laager panel. Personally I wou say the Rennisance looked sturdier. I'm not condemning th Summit just saying for $25k I would expect a sturdier build Gary

Great idea. I'm writing this from the ML room. I have been listening to the Renaissance all day. I ordered a pair in Ferrari Red. Seriously. These will replace my beloved Prodigy's Personally for me these are the best $25k speakers I've ever heard Think about it Neolith mains my custom 5...

While Neoliths these are not, at $25,000 they sound great. For sure most ML fans will really enjoy them. I think they learned a lot from the neolith development. The bass goes down to 22 Hz and it shows. I plan an extended listening period tomorrow. With the balanced forward bass you can get...

I am attending CES. Martin Logan is demoing the Renaissance. My initial response to the speaker sonically is very positive. Bass has similarity To Prodigy with the ballanced force approach with better integration to panel. So far my time with them was short but I liked what I heard. GaryG

Wow Timm you nailed it. Could not have said it better. I have a 14 year old pair of Prodigy's and they are still killer speakers for the price I recently sent the high passes back to ML to replace the caps they sound great. I use them as my rears in my 7.1 for sure ML's biggest area of...
