New Member but I bought my first ML's 25y ago!

When I reached 40 I wanted to treat myself to a new system. Ended up with Quad Tuner, Trichord CD player and a Bryston amp. All of which are still going strong. But the hardest task was replacing my Linn KANNs. My challenge was to pick out the picollo from the soundstage at the end of Beethoven's 9th! I stumbled across ML Aerius 1's and my problem was solved. They are still alive and fantastic to this day, 25y later (in my second system). When I reached 60 it was time to treat myself again.

Lumin T2 streamer + Mark Levison 585.5 integrated Amp + Innuos ZEN (digtiised all my CDs) and speakers? ML Vantage of course! What could possibly go wrong?

Hello Graham,

Welcome to the ML Forum!

You have some very nice gear... be sure to post some photos in the Member's System section.

Welcome to the forum!

I'm another who digitized all the physical media, just in time for lossless streaming.
But my 5.1 DVD-A and SACD are digitized, as I don't expect to see those in highres anytime soon.

Welcome aboard, as you can see Jonathan and I are 'senior citizens' around here !

Welcome and happy listening

I am a old ML fan (and owner) and an Aerius demo way back when in Seattle started me on the path to stat ownership

I should visit this forum more often but glad you are here.

Question: much as I love my Vantage's (no plans to move outside ML electrostatics) what would an upgrade look like? Is there much "advantage" to be had or are the Vantages the M/L sweetspot?
