Wow, Pete, that is exciting. The Neoliths paired with the Hercules II's. I just moved constellation to a high spot on my must see at CES list. For those that are wondering Robert Harley used Constellation Audio Hercules 2 power amps in his review of the Neoliths. I am very familiar with Roberts...

Now that I've had some time with the Neoliths I have had the opportunity to run different equipment through them. The speakers are extremely revealing therefore distinguishing differences in SQ really show. This brings a new joy to my audiophilia Nervousa. I can push other equipment and room...

To all MLO members I highly recommend you seek out Robert Harley's current Neoliith review in TAS. The review is stellar. I found myself saying "right on" over and over as I read the review. Robert had them well amped. Many of the musical selections he mentioned I am familiar with and I replayed...

update... certainly. First let me send congratulations to the entire ML team for the Neolith's selection as "The" overall product of the year by The Absolute Sound. Great achievement! The associated review by Robert Harley in this January's issue says it all. Wow you made it to the big...

My final choice for amplification was to go with a passive bi-amp combo and put the two VTL Siegfried II's on the panels and the Pass Labs 600.8's for the low frequencies. I pulled in separate dedicated 30 amp circuits for each of the 4 amps. Excessive? Perhaps. Indulgent? Certainly. The bass...

In post 199 I mentioned that I had some construction going. This was to give me a better space for the Multi Channel with the Neoliths as mains. I must say this construction is still going on and has taken on a life of its own. I'll start a new thread to explain this when I get closer to...

OK it's time to drive this old thread of mine to its proper conclusion. First over on AVS Forum Mark Henninger posted some additional thoughts on the Neoliths after hearing them again. http://www.avsforum.com/martin-logan-neolith-demo-at-taves-2015/ This time he liked the conditions better...

One thing I know about Ron is that he is very circumspect with his audio choices and will not jump without more than just a casual listen. He has the invite to Vegas and it is currently in his plans for next year. I have not heard the Arrakis' under any conditions so I cannot really give much of...

You are correct, I have been remiss on finishing this thread. Sometimes life takes us away from our hobbies and obsessions and I was pulled away by family health issues. My 83 year old mother fell and broke her hip. Following her hip surgery she had a heart attack. Of course if you're going to...

Perhaps a wet blanket would do the trick? :D The TV will be moving soon. The camera angle makes it look worse than it is. But you are correct it would not be too hard to put some GIK panels in front and cover the glass. Gary

I put all of the amps on wheels as seen in the picture. Too much work switching during this test phase without wheels. Regarding the Pass Labs X-600.8, Mark at Reno HiFi highly recommended these. I agree with Mark. These are the best amps I have ever had. The power is great with more than needed...

Just got the word, They are bringing a pair of VTL Siegfried II's to my place next Wednesday. These will be equipped with the KT88 tubes. Unfortunately I have some construction going on in the house but will work it out somehow. Gary

These Speakers Don't Need No Stinkin' Subs The above qoute was attributed to an important member of the Neolith design team. The team member was rumored to have burst into a room and shouted "These speakers don't need no stinkin' subs" after he had read Mark Henninger's comments on AVS forum...

That thread has now gone over 42 pages in just a few days. Mostly circular with two sides. Only post positive because the exhibitor has worked so hard or hey, free speech I'll say what I want. See I only wasted a few seconds of your time.

Just picked up Melody Gardot's latest. This is her 4th album and instantly my favorite. It is more blues and a little less Jazz than her previous work. It sounded as if there was some Patricia Barber sound slipping into the mix.

Late Saturday afternoon Maier (Audio Salon, Santa Monica CA) brought a client to the Neolith room. Maier was kind enough to have provided me with an exhibitor badge at no cost for the show. Maier explained that this client owned the MBL 101e ii's. We played some tunes. Answered some questions...

On Saturday of T.H.E Show I dropped into the Neolith Room at about noon. It was busy and after a few minutes I stood up so others could use my chair. Since I was standing it just seemed natural to press the flesh and answer questions. The next thing I knew I had the iPad and was making music...

I found speaker designer Andrew Jones staffing the ELAC room. It turns out he left Pioneer about 3 months ago and joined ELAC. I was quite surprised. I have been following Andrew since his days at KEF and still have a pair of KEFs from about 20 years ago. At CES in January I spent about an hour...

How about some lighting that took me back to the '60s. Here is some Einstein amplification, a Techdas turntable and the top of the line Audiomachina speakers. This system is about the same as at 2014 Munich High End as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAYqxD0nnUE The list price on...

Audio Research was paired with, yes, more Wilsons.
