Do you recommend any brands ( active bass + panel ) or just use the standard cord ?
Power cords for ML's have been discussed before. Read the thread below. If you're still unsure, see if you can demo some power cords. If you think they make a difference in what you hear, buy some. It's your $$$

Just to add to it: there was a guy here a while ago who said that he got better performance from his CLXes by using an after-market power cord that was built especially for them, in Italy, I think. He left, mad, after the skepticism he got in response.I hope the Montis has power cable sockets like CLX and not Electromotion. If the CLX power cable can attach to Montis then it should be more than adequate. I use a pair of CLX cable for my CLS. I am satisfied with the performance.
They do make a difference irrespective of what others might say/think. How much of a difference and whether it is worth the $ is obviously up to you. When I had my Summits I tried the stock PCs, Audioquest NRG-3 and Shunyata Venom 3. The differences I heard were mostly in the bass (tighter, more articulate) going from stock to the AQs. From AQ to the Shunyatas, I actually heard little to no difference in the bass, but a bit better and overall clarity.
Of course a blind test would reveal all these type of comments to be false as they have in the past
If power cords or speaker wire makes that big a difference in the sound quality your brain perceives from the same speaker being fed by your unchanged power source then wouldn't manufacturers just raise prices and sell all this good sound themselves?

So, why don't the speaker manufacturers also bundle inn the very best /matching amplifier or at least a good/matching speaker cable? Or at least a netfilter? I believe it's due to costs and logistics. I may want to put money in Martin Logan speakers, but maybe I would prefer to purchase power cables according to my own taste.
I am surprised by all the cable discussions. The differences between stock cables and after market cables can be very obvious in the right conditions. I was very surprised myself at first, but now I don't understand the discussions or disagreements. It's like having a discussion about if the sun is rising in the east or in the west IMHO.
