Beautiful Monolith system you have!!! Love the look of the ML monoliths. All that tube power must sound great.

Again Welcome.

Sang, Welcome Your big Wolcott's, EL-34's for outputs ?? It's fair to assume the Monolith panels love 'em !

Nice system!

gentlemen,
Thanks for all positives. I am a music lover since I was young.I had owned few speaker systems,and I have found that monoliths are very wide on soundstage and music is so sweet and clear.
Since I have owned monoliths III. I have changed number of power amps from sonic frontier power II and Plinius SA 250 mark 4 to Wolcotts wide band transformers.In my opinion, I found that the Wolcotts are a good match with Monolith.

Best regards,
Sang,

Sang, IMO you have said the key word to the marriage of tubes and Logans. "Wide Bandwidth", I coundn't agree more !

Those speakers seem familiar ...

Nice setup. I really like the equipment display between the two large speakers.

Bi-amping and active crossover is the way to go with Monoliths.

What room treatments have you done?

 

[User211]

Really sorry to say this, but my wife sez "low WAF factor, apart from the CD player".

Of course, I don't agree

But apparently, so I am told, I can't judge, because I am not a wife, so I have no say in all things WAF!

You have a good system with Monolith III too. My room is treated with ASC, two 16in dia x 4f and two 11in dia x 6f ASC tube traps on four corners behind speakers,8in x 8f ASC sound flanks panels on right, left and front wall.
Biamps with active crossover and the room treatment are a big improvement, highs and mids are sweeter. Soundstage is extended wider.
