I would surmise the Summit is more explosive and dynamic top to bottom..more live and unrestricted.
Barbados said:Chordeater, did you ever get the impression that the built in amplifier for the summit woofers just wasn't enough to get everything out of them?
Just curious as 400 watts seems a little low for those long throw woofers cramped into those little boxes.

roberto said:The Summits are not perfect, still we could ask for more...but are the top of the line of ML and a new industry standard setting for new specifications.
Pura vida,
Roberto.
If I may, I'd like to use a couple analogies to draw the similarities between these scenarios and comparing amplifiers...roberto said:We all know, and I don't know why is this, the smaller amplifiers are better, warmer, right with the size and more transparent than bigger amps.
Hola chicos...I have a powerpoint presentation that my friend at ML sent me...it is a comparation of the Prodigiy-Odyssey versus the Summits...if any of you would like to have it, just send me an e-mail and I will forward it to you...my e-mail address is [email protected].

First, if I want to experience camping in Yosemite National Park, I could pull into the campground with my RV and have an "effortless" camping experience, enjoying all the modern amenities offered by my RV. Now, if I make lots of efforts to hike up Half-Dome and come down Nevada Falls, I would have a much better, and more meaningful experience of Yosemite. The hike will get me to experience the full spectrum and subtleties of the park up close that I will have a much better appreciation for Yosemite than by staying in the campground on the valley floor.
Another analogy is...whale-watching. I've been to Hawaii, whale-watching from a boat along with 20 other people, catching glimpse of a couple of whale from afar. Now, compare that to the North West where one can come up close to the whale on Kayaks and can literally touch the whale(s). 'Nuf said.
The idea is that the big, powerful amplifiers present a big, effortless sound stage but the smaller, flea-powered amplifiers are much better at presenting the subtleties and nuances of the music in order to arrive at a more rewarding experience.

roberto said:also it is true that there are just a few amps that have big power and sounds right, but you have to search a lot and pay some good money for them.

Best regards.
Chordeater said:Hola Roberto, I choose this way, an ASR Emitter II to move the panel of the Summit's with iron hands. In the April issue of the Hi-FI World magazine, appers the impedance's curve of the Summit's:
Below 10k impedance does not overcome 1 ohm!
Best regards.
