Noticed the Montis and Ethos have this technology that blends the woofer with panel better. However the Summit X seems not to have this technology. Does the Summit X with its two woofers not need this tech? Or does this mean another new Summit or replacement speaker? The older Spires were oh so...

Again, the Xs are the 7th top selling item AA. That's a lot of Summits leaving out the door at full retail and a win win for ML. I would not be surprised to see Cruthfield next. They seem to be following Thiel's lead. There will always be brick and motor stores around but you cannot stay in...

7th top seller according to their site, not a bad marketing decision in those terms.

Actually,the house is registered as a historic landmark so no changes unless done as original. Casey once stated he would have to hire some guys out of the northeast just to run extra outlets since the walls are plaster. Buts its a beautiful location.

System synergy is so important, especially in high end audio. Look at how ML debuted the CLX with McIntosh gear. MLs have that walk through sound,and McIntosh is not the last word in transparent equipment. Maybe ML knew too much of a good thing (transparency) sounds neat for the five minutes...

Casey, who owns the place is a cool guy,and yes the store on 7th street on a tree covered hill has a neat ambiance to it.

True story, a high end store in the Boston area, some time ago sold to Bose R&D Quad electrostatics. I believe it was 8 of them. And yes, from talking to a few folks at Bose they are some serious audiophiles up there who are engineers (nice personal home systems),but the company they work for...

Or why not take the 44 inch xstat panel and double it. One behind the other,just like the bass panels on the CLX. Then one would have a speaker with the extra bass from two panels with the width of a single xstat panel. Place it on a nice base and voila, a mini CLX that more wife friendly.

The 1.6 replacement, the 1.7, to debut at CES. http://www.avguide.com/blog/more-ces-excitement-magnepan-introduces-the-mg-17

Over on AVguide, JV has a post on an all new Magico speaker thats looks alot like a refined M5. http://www.magico.net/magicoq/magicoq04.php

There is a post on Avguide.com that Krell has been sold to private equity firm (what profit did they see in Krell?) and that D Agastino has been let go...........Shocking if true.

Tonepub-When can we expect a full review on the YGs? I have talked to the engineer Yoav personally, he is a cool guy. Spectral- Do you find this a possible limiting factor having to only use MIT cables? Do you use the top of the line MIT cable or Spectral brand MIT cable?

Why did CJ stop making the solid state amp? It got rave reviews.

Did anyone hear the near Vandy 7s? I don't see a pic of them. How was there sound?

I remember the Washington DC ML dealer always teamed up Naim with the MLs though the Naims had a low watt count the dealer said it had the current to run and it did.

Robin, how do they sound with regular music through them? I heard these in Guitar Center stores and outside in front of a Bose store. Their 2 1/2 inch drives falls off around 16K, but it had the same warm midrange that many audiophiles like.

Listen to Iron and wine's song Trapeze on some Martins........its spooky. While ACL does not have a copy of this song's performance on their website here is a copy of the song on You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGXduu293c&feature=related

Why wouldn't it be desirable at higher frequencies? It would allow for a lower crossover point. And it should be the same over all panel size that you are speculating.

Or just save some R&D and make the Stat a full range dual force panel. You will have a smaller foot print and similar look to the outgoing Summit using the same tooling.

I wasn't suggesting a separate bass panel as the CLX instead a double panel. Imagine a Summit today with two panels,one behind the other, the frame would be a little thicker but you would be hard press to tell the difference. It would allow a lower crossover and more seamless presentation. With...
