Hi All,
I purchased my first MLs, a pair of Electromotions, a fortnight a ago. I've been reading the comments from this site so wanted to say thanks, it was very useful and helped me make up my mind to join you good folk who own MLs. I also thought you might find it interesting that these speakers are running off SET 300B valve amps.
Firstly, let me say that while my speakers are running in, I would have to say that they do live up expectations and quite frankly are extraordinary - particularly in the midrange. The real surprise is how well they match to my 300B Single Ended Triode mono blocks (running off 4 ohm taps). Yep, who would have thought that electrostatics could run off 8 watts....and quite loudly too, there is no shortage of DBs.
It may not be a natural marriage, but from where I'm listening it's a match made in heaven. There is something that just works so well in the match between the smooth, natural and fluid valve midrange and the transparency the ML bring. It just shows how far ML have come in increasing their efficiency.
Thought you mind find this interesting... Perhaps a first?
Peter
