    Planar Speak

    Esl 989 Kevin, you really should listen to Quad ESL 989's. They are all what you loved in your ESL 63's with the fastest bass I've ever heard. I've listened to them a few months ago and don't know if any of the ML speakers can reproduce classical music with such musicality and the impression...

    Vantage is HERE! Official stuff from ML!

    Oops, sorry, I've been mistaken by the black color of the woofers. So it's black aluminium cone woofers, new model, isn't it?

    Vantage is HERE! Official stuff from ML!

    woofers It seems that ML has given up aluminium cone woofers. Does anybody knows why? It was a great improvement on bass speed and helped it to match with the fast ESL element.

    Ascent i aluminum woofer

    Hi musicman, Do you think I could do it on my sequel II's? Maybe this would give them faster and more dynamic bass...

    System #77 (Aerius i)

    Hi Al, welcome to the ML club. Your two systems are really beautiful, I love "only music" dedicated systems. Which amp do you use to drive your REGA speakers ? (R5 I presume) REGA integrated or the QUAD system? Let me know how do sound these wonderful QUAD's compared to modern stuff. Also it...

    New Stators/Panels for my Sequel II

    Hi Michael, welcome to the ML club! Sequel II replacement panels are in fact SL3 panels like said Aliveatfive. They are still available and more reliable than original Sequel II panels, due to the better quality of the mylar coating process: they will last longer! I also plan to change my...

    AM/FM Tuners

    The vintage alternative as350_b3, I think you should seriously consider analog vintage tuners. I had a Marantz ST6000 wich is their best unit in the standard range and I thought it was really musical. One day, I made a blind A-B listening (very easy to do with tuners) with an old Pioneer...

    Best guitar solo ever...

    Pink Floyd & The Eagles I love these two ones: -Pink Floyd's "Another brick in the wall" part II: David gilmour gives one of his best solos here. -The Eagles's "Hotel California": To me, this is more than a guitar solo: a kind of mini symphony.

    If you had to choose a NON planar speaker, what would it be?

    My own Like Mart, I built my own with Seas and Audax drivers and they sounded very nice. It was before buying ML's. Now let's dream: If I had the money, I would hesitate between those three masterpieces: -B&W Nautilus 800 -Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage -Tannoy Westminster Royal Anyway, if I...

    Grill: ON or OFF?

    Socialxray you're right. The sonic degradation is very little whereas i think that the degradations of my daughter's little fingers would be much more important. Anyway my sequel II's would be horrible to look at whithout their "stator grills".(It is funny that ML came back to these metallic...

    Bonjour Robin and Zaphod. Thanks for your welcome! My room is approx 31 feet long, 12 feet wide and 10 feet high (hope my meters to feet conversion is OK and I'm not giving you the measurements of a stadium or a match box) and I actually plan to put a carpet in front of the listening area. The...

    System #72 (Sequel II)

    Bonjour Patrick Thanks for your post I didn't know that ML & ML combination is not common. Could you tell me more about that? What kind of speakers would match with Mark Levinson according to you? I can't talk about the ML & Krell combination because I heard it too long ago and don't really...

    System #72 (Sequel II)

    Thanks for your welcome Chris. Your system looks very nice too, I love Prodigy's. I've never heard them but they must sound fantastic with the Krell amps.

    Removing nextel?

    Hello everybody I'm a new user of this forum while i've been looking at the MLclub for two years now (which i think is really the best place for ML knowledge). I have a pair of sequel II's and i enjoy to listen to these beauties but the finishing of the box that is called "Nextel" has become...
