Rascal, as a former and long time owner of di-pole speakers I couldn't agree more with your analysis. With that being said and your wife a music teacher / pianist I've yet to hear any transducer at or near the price point of ML that does the piano justice.

No, the external amp provides the 'signal' to which the internal amp then 'drives' the woofer(s)

the bass drivers are powered from within by Class D amps

several thousand dollar savings is big IMO when comparing the two. Assuming the Montis's are playing to perfection that would be my call, freeing up the $$ savings for whatever else your system may need / want.

looks good Brandon, I just got home from last weekend up at 'The National Park of Speed' aka Road America. Enjoyed the SCCA run offs, great weekend with great weather !

Welcome to the fold and congrats on the 15a's As you can tell by my avatar I'm a long time Corvette enthusiast myself, currently owning a '67 BB and a '02 ZO6. I'm assuming you own a C5 as well ? As for LaGrange, my railroad roots know it as the home of EMD !

Lookin good Brandon, including the German Pilsner !

John, I see two options........ 1) sneak them back into your friends shed when he's not looking 2) when is your next 'bulk trash' day ?

Welcome to the group ! Dan and Vic have given you some good suggestions to which I concur. The pics you provided tells a story of a WAF but not one for good sound ! No matter how well you place your speakers, listening with your head that close to a wall behind you is NEVER a good idea. As for...

Hi Jeff, welcome to the world of retirement, I'm on year four. I still recall the memories of yours, mine and Dan's various discussions over the years, may he RIP. Continue to enjoy your CLS's in good health !!

Tom, it 'depends' , lots of discussion on here regarding that. Do a search

I'm not gonna say you're an ***** but no way will that room ever be optimized for those speakers. You can treat it till the cows come home and it will still be a compromise ! Good luck !

I used to deal with Jim McShane back in the day but I think he has retired. I've also dealt with these folks over the years with no problems ........... https://tubedepot.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN6wBhCcARIsAKZvD5jPTqC3w4sAfEp6q27cEa9zT0IfapNZbQ_mZqg8JUesm3XyE8vJeYEaAoYGEALw_wcB

Fond memories from back in the day (18 years ago) when we had a nice gathering out in Lawrence and toured the Logan facility, all of us getting nice gifts including well made polo shirts. I still have and wear mine to this day !

welcome to the fold from another 70 year 'young' as well !

Robert, for any planar, di-pole speaker, including ML stats, sufficient 'space' is paramount to optimal sound. For all my years of owning such speakers I NEVER heard a pair sound their best without at least 4-6' to 'breath' behind them.

Another of the 'Planar Pioneers' has passed, I was happy to have owned several pairs of his speakers. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/jim-winey-1934-2024/

Welcome to the fold Koen ! I'm 70 years old, live in the US, 'work' is a dirty four letter word(I'm retired) and I listen to music whenever I want ....... ;)

there is a rather interesting discussion going on over there at Audioholics on the vary review. Seems a forum member or two are getting riled up over the design specs. Worth a 'look and a laugh' !
