    Neolith's offspring

    I would not be concerned with purchasing the Montis at this point. the Neolith's have been in R/D for 3-4 years, which is before the Montis even came out. I doubt ML would "sabotage" possible Montis sales by putting out "trickle down" speakers based on some of the Neolith design. The Monits...

    New to Martin Logan - Just bought some items

    OMG, $3700? I came across a great deal like this when I bought our Herschede tubular grandfather clock(divorce), but I would have rather gotten your deal! I got 10% off my Montis from the dealer and felt like the king of the world...until now :-) OH, check out the Stage-X center channel from...

    New member in London

    welcome! My Montis are getting a little more broken in now....I have had them for 6 months and every time I sit down with some Steve Earle, Jesse Winchester, Patricia Barber, or Robert Cray, I just can't get the grin off my face....I am still amazed at the sheer aural joy these speakers bring...

    Upgrade my Vistas, Ethos vs Montis

    Hi Mobs, The Montis are awesome aren't they!? couple of questions if you don't mind: 1. what color are your Montis, dark cherry or black cherrywood, perhaps? 2. your TV. Is that a Panasonic Plasma ZT60 series by chance? thanks Jeff

    Right amp for the Montis

    Hi Silvercat, I wanted to mention that I am a longtime Anthem fan, having gone through 3 generations of their preamp-processors. I am driving my Montis' via an Anthem AVM50/3D preamp-processor and MCA-30 power amp, which also powers my center channel speaker for home theater....i love the...

    HELP PLEASE! New Montis owner just cannot get a centered stereo image

    well, here's the story. Moved the tv and stand out of the room...did not change anything. image still shifted radically to the right channel. I just didn't believe an open archway, windows, and plaster walls could cause that severe of a shift....so I started looking at my gear........bottom...

    HELP PLEASE! New Montis owner just cannot get a centered stereo image

    thanks folks. Oh yea, trust me, the open archway is bad, the tv in the middle is bad, and plaster walls are extremely reflective. Problem is, I don't have a dedicated audio listening room. this is my 2 channel and home theater setup....it is what it is, you know? I never had this issue with...

    HELP PLEASE! New Montis owner just cannot get a centered stereo image

    Hi folks, New ML and Montis owner here. Was using Maggie 3.5r's as my front speakers for about 15 years. I burned them in for a couple of weeks with some lovely pipe organ music(that will loosen up the x-over and bass driver for sure!) and now I'm ready to get my proper placement. I have...

    Where to pick up a pink noise file or disk for breaking in speakers

    Hi folks, I want to mix in some pink noise along with my pipe organ CD to break in my Montis. I have searched here and found a couple of folks asking where people sourced this from, but I did not see replies. So, could someone help me out with where you sourced your pink noise file/disk from...

    The Montis are finally home

    Got them home today after a 15 hour round trip drive(in one day!-gluton for punishment). Now it's 90 hours or so of organ music at 90+db to get those drivers loosened up! They are tiny, setting in the space formally occupied by my Magnepan 3.5r's... I couldn't resist-popped a Steve Earle CD...

    Quick question regarding the Montis 5-way binding posts

    Hi folks, My WyWires with spaded lugs on each end may not arrive by the time I pick up my Montis. My current MIT cables have bananna plugs on the speaker ends. I can't tell from the pictures or from the documentation............. The Montis use traditional 5-way binding posts, meaning I can...

    Question for you veterans from a nervous brand spanking new Montis owner

    Hi folks, I am trading in my Maggie 3.5r's after 15 years of service for a pair of Montis in dark cherry. They arrived at my dealer(7 hours' drive one way!), last week, but I am on vacation through Thursday, so I plan to drive over this weekend and pick them up. Here's my concern. I have...

    25 year Magnepan owner thinking about taking the ML plunge, from Columbus, OH

    Thanks.....but wow, when i think about how much these things cost, it's a little scary. I'm lucky that the dealer gave me a discount off MSRP, is taking my 3.5r's in trade, and I am buying them in Delaware where there is no sales tax(it's a 7 hour drive each way, but worth it!)......helps tame...

    25 year Magnepan owner thinking about taking the ML plunge, from Columbus, OH

    Well, too late, I ordered the Montis about a week ago. The seamless transition of the panel to the woofer is just phenomenal-it's intoxicating. I listened to the 3.7's with my amp, and they are truly remakable...a big step up from my 3.5r's for sure...but the speed and dynamics of the Montis...

    Montis

    yes, the zebrawood was calling my name as well. It was a tough decision, but I placed my order for the Montis today. I ended up going with the dark cherry...

    Magnepan owner auditioned Montis today-WOW!

    Oh, I have already auditioned the Montis. I was hoping to compare them to the Maggie 3.7's at the same time at a dealer. Much easier to switch between speaker systems in the same setting at the same time, at least for me anyway...

    Magnepan owner auditioned Montis today-WOW!

    bummer. Just called the dealer to set up an appointment and they DON't have Montis demos. They do have the 3.7's though. I don't mind driving, even for a few hours to be able to hear both of these back to back. The problem is there just are a lot of Maggie dealers nowadays.....
