Z06_Pilot - I sure hope you post back on your thoughts of the comparison. This would be truly interesting as I am considering the same but don't have the ability to hear them locally.

I have been seriously considering a set of Montis and a center. As I am nearing retirement, I am willing to pay a premium for my last set of speakers to get the best quality sound I can. The issue is that I just don't see having to pay a panel replacement cost in 10 years or so that might be...

Thanks all for the replies. Makes me feel much better. Will start another thread on center channel choices. Pete

I am really wanting to purchase a pair of Ethos or Montis but---- As I have 2 dogs, I am concerned about the effects of hair as dust is a known issue. My dogs have fly away hair that floats threw the air whenever they tussle or just shake. This dog hair collects in clumps and floats across the...

Fuses don't blow without a reason. There has to be a cause - a short or component issue. And yes - the replacement fuse has to be the exact same design and usage as the original. In 30 years of electrical work I have never seen replacing a fuse fixing anything! Something caused the excess...

Really appreciate this post. Helps to better understand the speakers design.

Anyone used other servo subs? Love the looks of the multi-driver ML subs but pricey especially if using 2 units. The Rythmik servo subs seem to be well regarded and 2 of them would be $2-3000 range. Is there some specific advantage to the ML subs to be used with the Ethos or Montis? I keep...

Oh and if you are leaning to the big Onkyo due to its future 4k compatibility, that may be already a bypassed video standard as an 8k plasma is currently be shown by Panasonic.

My older Pioneer Elite sold for about $4200 and has a very large and heavy power supply. These new receivers weigh at least 20# less so the amp sections have been cut back unless you are looking at one with Class D power. I am sure you would notice a benefit if looking at $500 receivers but...

The XPA-5 will give you a true 200 watts all channels driven that the receiver will not. Will you notice the change? In my case, I have an older Pioneer Elite VSX-49TX rated at 130 watts and was reviewed as one of the few receivers actually capable of producing its rated power all channels...

Don't have the answer but ---- can you just pull them out farther when in use and slide them back when off?

Every glass covered photo or painting would be a speaker. Every window in my extension living room would be a surround speaker. Every mirror in my bathrooms. Heck my windows facing my pool!!!! :music: Of course the NSA would figure out a way to turn them all into microphones. :mad:

If it is real, I am replacing all my windows with larger ones! We all know that larger panels have better sound. :)

That SUCKS!! I wanted to coat every window in my living room.

Like many, I do not understand the power cord issue and benefits as some tout. The power company is useing very low quality aluminum cable for transmission and in many cases connection to your structure. I believe the biggest power cord benefits are to be sure they are large guage - #12 for me -...

Didn't realize they came with covers. Thanks! Here in Louisiana with the terrific humidity, mold and mildew type dust I believe is the primary cause from the ventilation system. Everyone I know complains of the same problems. No real cure with humidity running over 80-90% commonly in the...

Not an owner - yet! Looking at either Theos or Ethos. I live in a house that for whatever reason has dust issues. With dust causing clicks pops as I read would think that it would be simple to make a slip on cover for the panels. Is this a stupid idea? Anyone do something to keep dust off when...

Maybe this is old news. TONEAudio has a new issue out - 44 - pages 161-171 or 80-85 depending upon your display that has a really nice review of the Montis. http://tinyurl.com/7kyu4r9 is a shortcut to http://www.tonepublications.com/MAGPDF/TA_044.pdf

Thank you for that post jmschnur. Would think the models with identical panels would sound virtually identical except for lower bass. That was the reason for the initial post.

Ethos vs Theos, Summit vs Montis? Each of the pairs of speakers share the same size panels and differ in the woofer section. Not sure if there are other differences. So with that, would it make more sense to go with the lower priced model of the pair and use a high quality subwoofer to get equal...
