Best sort of business is return business. Second best is referred business. Applies to small companies, big companies, sole operators, Mum and Dad shops ..... and ML. Silly to **** on customers. When the Monolith screens fail (as they certainly will) that will be it. Kevin

The state of denial evident in the EU with the initial Greek rumblings more than a year ago persuaded me to shift the lot into cash. I have seen nothing to change that opinion and the latest machinations of the US government has ensured that I will continue to sit this out - not making a huge...

Opening of BWV 1052 bit on the turgid side - for a complete contrast try Perahia and The Academy of St Martin in the Fields Sony SK89245. A more well mannered version Angela Hewitt and The Australian Chamber Orchestra Hyperion CDA 67307. My favourite is still Schiff with the Chamber Orchestra of...

Joey - could I strongly suggest that you make this room a multi purpose room. Set it up for two channel audio and my suggestion is to make it double as a library for books and music and potentially a desk/bench workspace and maybe triple up as home theatre in a 2.1 configuration with a...

A link to audioholics where Sean Olive goes into some of the setup details of the listening tests. Please note that the speaker measurements are performed anechoically as described to me on another forum by Sean Olive. http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66341

Hi Paul - welcome to the forum. I assume the SL3 and Clarity are at Audio Connection in Sydney. Are you able to get them side by side with an amp close to what you will use. The SL3 may be tired and need its panels replacing which unfortunately in Australia is a costly exercise. I am unable...

We had started to think that the panels were beginning to go off about three years ago - nothing awful and in the category of are we kidding ourselves. About six months ago it became pretty obvious with the speakers beginning to sound bassy and muddy. I happened to ring just yesterday one of...

To play devil's devil's advocate an awful lot of the highend is small manufacturers. You may have an idea Geoff - how many companies would have more than fifty employees in the so called highend. Probably any company that keels over a customer will find the warranty no longer supported. Kevin

I would love Soundlabs to get on here and talk speakers, any electrostatic manufacturer. As long as people are civil and do not use the forum to diss another competitors product. No matter the approach there will be a disadvantage - I will not be buying a Sanders speaker because of the narrow...

I guess you are familiar with axial modes in a room with regards to bass reinforcement. It has always seemed totally logical to get the sub away from the floor where it is reinforcing mightily the floor ceiling axis in your listening room. Give it a whirl - as long as the balcony floor is...

I have always found it prudent to read between the lines and unfortunately my innate cynicism is usually reinforced. The grey suits trailing their MBA's are notable for forcing square pegs into round holes, claiming success on the basis of a creative balance sheet and leaving. Bigger is not...

Joey sold his speakers to the moderator so I suspect there will not be any grief about your post.:D Kevin

Hi Justin, Thankyou for giving a timeline for those of us who may need to replace panels. How will a warranty period work, for these panels that may be discontinued. I presume ML has historical data regarding panel warranty claims. May we assume that a suitable store of legacy stock will be...

Jeff - I appreciate you will be feeling totally ****ed off. Should you perhaps change the title of this thread to avoid implicating the British vinylphile website originally linked to. Kevin
