update...
OK....just got off the phone with ML....and the comment as stated in the TAS article is incorrect.....and those of you who stated that the Purity is 100% driven by the internal amps are 100% correct! The opinion of the person I spoke to said he prefers the Purity due to the dual...
revelation..
OK...after trolling tthe web sites...I picked up the following on TAS....
"You drive the Purity either by means of the speaker terminals (in which case the amplifier drives the bass unit alone)"....this i relevant to me because I believe (in my case) that driving the panels with a...
Thanks for the reply Roberto. My system is #100....and I recently updated it.....which with my upgrading the Aerius i will require another revision...:ROFL:
I guess the question boils down to...if I use comparable amplifier power, say a Wyred for sound monos into the Sources.....how would the...
I am a long time ML user (Aerius i) and am updating these to either Source or Purity. My 2 channel room is 13 x 14 and carpeted.
I think I understand the differences between these speakers...
Source: (1) 8" paper cone, unpowered.
Purity: (2) 6.5" alum cones, powered by 200 watt ICE amp...
Revision of System #100...for now...Aerius i
A year or so ago I was granted permission to move the listening room, or what it is now called..."the refuge"....to a larger room, further away from the center of the home, and as a plus, on a heated pad as opposed to the previous over basement...
Have you thought of a hybrid integrated? I moved to a Jolida 1501RC w/ Level II mods and it got everything right for 1.5K US$. Tube pre softens things up a tad, takes the sizzle off the high end, SS is there for the push. My Aerius do not have the bi-wire feature though...too bad.
If you get hooked...
I ran CDs and SACDs thru a Denon 2910 for a few years and was pretty satisfied with the results. Then I found a used Sony XA 9000ES at my favorite store and took it home on trial. All I can say is WOW! It improved SACD playback by 3 - 5 times depending on the disc. All...
I would lean towards the Aeons, or even a pair of similarly sized
Aerius i's.....get the bi-wired version and your options really open up. Used ML's tend to be well taken care of.
The only reason....
I'd stray from ML would be to gain a wider listening area. Since I'm only interested in 2 channel for serious listening, this becomes a problem when more than one person wants to listen at the same time. We have whats called "the magic chair" where the sweet spot is....where...
I'm sure you checked, but.....
..is the red power on light at the bottom of each speaker on? Are you able to re-test on a friends amp? Not sure what else to suggest.....
The Scripts found a good home...
It appears they landed on the side walls. Beautiful setup. Did you go with the standard wall mounts, or add a base to the wall plate?
Beautiful setup!
I owned a pair of Scripts and used them as mains (system 100)....was very happy with the results! Yours is very well integrated into the room....nicely done!
Give some though to a Zune...
I purchased a Zune 120G a few months ago, and have loaded app 40G of .wav files so far. I'm not a huge microsoft fan, but portability of carrying a LARGE % of my collection with me (I travel a lot) was very desireable. IMHO, the sound through my etymotics surpassed...
Hey all, I've been re-added as Pinepoint, same as my previous handle. I've modified my setup and will re-post in member systems. Under Pinepoint / system #100, the Scripts were sold to a great ML site member (wink, system 134). Great to be back.
