I think they say that because it's the easiest way they have to be sure the panels are discharged when cleaned. 'Be sure that the speakers don't receive any audio signal for two days, bla bla' sounds confusing, and, in a house with several people, you would have to put a 'don't turn on system'...

Don't every modern ML enter standby mode and disconnect the panel's power supply after some time without audio signal? My Montis do that, it's easily perceived when you start playing music and during the first second the speakers are 'dead' and then they charge and start sounding.

Almost no house in Uruguay has central A/C, only commercial or office buildings. Split A/C is the norm and we use them around 20 days a year, climate is mild and for winter heating we use radiating heated floors. Early autumn, late spring and most summer days it's just open windows.

I live in Montevideo, Uruguay. We don't have a hot climate, but humidity is always high, 80-100% is common, never had problem with panels. The air here is quite clean though, very little polution and I vaccum the panels every 45 - 60 days. It's probably a combination of humidity and polution...

Hello, What I would do if, after vaccum, the problem remains. (I'm assuming your speakers are not under warranty) - interchange the speakers (L<->R) to discard a problem with the amp and be sure the problem is in the speaker - If so, - open the faulty speaker and check for any loose...

I'm abroad also, but I live in Uruguay, where there is no ML dealer/distributor. I've been able to buy panels directly from ML US and then import them myself. ML support has been always exellent, a couple of years ago I bought a used pair of Montis in the US after ML Support gave me instructions...

Replaced my Odyssey's panels in 2014, $1714 ($1639 + $75 S&H) for the pair. The speakers msrp was $6495 in 2001 so the replacement panel cost was fine for me.

Hi, the Stellar M1200 were $6K a pair in 2020, don't know if their price has been raised, but they cannot be up to $14K. By the way I am trying a pair of the smaller brother Stellar M700 with my Montis and they sound dull, boring and dry. (The M1200 are a newer class D design and have a...

By the looks it's a Luxman integrated amp

All changes if you use a pair of EVO 300 in mono mode. The taps for 4, 8 and 16ohms turn into taps for 2, 4 and 8ohms

One more vote for diffusers, my solution is way less 'proffesional', the wall behind the speakers has a bookshelf on it, with book placement choosen as to act as a diffuser. I do have absorvers on the wall behind the listening position, as it is too close to be optimal.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough. What ML sent me were the instructions to disable the 'frequency lock' you mention, still present in the Montis model, the board itself is multivoltage. Don't know how it was implemented in previous models, cannot help with that.

Try to contact ML directly. In my case, I live in Uruguay, no ML dealers here. I wanted to buy a used pair of ML Montis in the US and import it. I asked ML if I could do that and buy 220V circuit boards for them. As an answer they sent me instructions on how to convert the Montises from 110V to...

Seems the Depth is not multivoltage as the Montis, bad luck...

Hi Tosh, I was aware of the policy regarding grey imports, that's why I contacted ML before buying the Montis, telling them honestly what I wanted to do and how much a 220V power board would cost. They simply replied with the conversion instructions for the Montis and Summit X (also being...

I would contact ML support. I live in Uruguay, a 230V/50Hz country, I recently bought a used pair of Montis in the US and imported them ML support send me a detailed step by step guide on how to set up them for 230V, photographs included It was a 10 minute job.

It's a pitty you don't like the newer powered MLs. WAF is muuuch higher.

I agree, is personal preference. I have no problem with well implemented class-D amplifiers. I wonder why you kept the ReQuests and didn't move to a newer Odyssey or Prodigy.

Maggies or ML is just a personal choice. I agree with you that spending $2600 in a Sequel is maybe too much. What about a used ML of the previous generation? A few years old pair of Montis would be around $4000 and it's a great speaker.

Hi Spike, If you consider frequencies below the crossover point, that's a different issue. You have extra panel surface for those frequencies in the CLX, but you don't need it in the other models as those frequencies are handled by the dynamic driver. The 'work' the high frequencies panel has to...
