I have Spires, the predecessor to the Montis and it is very similar in sound and the improvement in integration between panel and woofer with the Montis made only a small difference to my ears. I have listened to both the Montis, Summit and Summit X. The Summit X has undoubtedly superior bass...
Look forward to reading review online. For me a combination of preferring the aesthetics of the previous series and having no complaints re Spire and Velodyne DD12+ sub makes my interest in new MLs a bit academic. But I have no doubt they’ll sound great with the work on bass and integration...
Hi guys just a wee post from Scotland about an excellent upgrade by a U.K. Company called Tiger Paw.
After years of development they have produced a neat pair of magnetic discs that thread around the bearing housing below and the stem of the platter on the underside of the inner platter...
I use multiple inputs from Meridian MC200 core server via AES/EBU, toslink from Apple TV, SPDIF from DVD and USB from MacBook running Pure Music for Hi Res files, or iPad. Apple TV allows wireless play but I use wires for better quality. Stream from Qobuz or Tidal. All of that through Moon 750D...
The small brush type attachment is perfect and you can use high suction without problem. The small pointy type might scratch the finish so I don't use it. Of course you need to ensure the brush is clean first. You can clean it by hand and vacuum the bristles with the pointy one! Please excuse...
Yes I know the routine... I was just kind of laughing at my sloth. Always had cleaned before any sound deterioration occurred .... until this time. I live in a clean country area! Whilst I clearly don't recommend it when you leave it too long you do get a free upgrade! Like your dedication to...
I confess and hereby encourage anyone who hasn't cleaned their MLs in an age to get that vacuum out!
What a difference ... thought it was my hearing!
Enjoy the music!

Yes Jonathan I hope Tidal do convert some nice MQA catalogue, good stuff and a decent quantity of titles! Thats going to be the crucial thing for me. I hope they don't simply stream the limited material you can download already on MQA, from 2L records and onkyomusic.
As I listened critically to...
I have my Spires set with bass at lowest setting, -10, in a similar sized room. This gives me flattest curve and best sound when measured with my Velodyne DD12+ sub. Great sound, with the panel resolving better with less vibration from the woofer. Can you still follow bass lines recorded low in...
MQA at home, finally!
Yes I can hear it finally ... Engaging is what immediately struck me! Music much more interesting and involving, it is much more interesting to the extent it feels wrong to analyse the differences. I just wanted to enjoy it.......
But for those not able to hear it yet...
Hearing MQA at home 4th Feb .....Scotland. Hype or breakthrough???
Interesting development in the debate as Bob Stuart faces some challenging questions soon, on CA!
