I stopped posting because Tapatalk didn't work properly so I just basically ignored the site. Plus I don't own MLs anymore and probably never will.
This site at least now works well on a mobile phone. That's a huge plus. I will keep an eye on it more now.:)
Regards to all the long term members...
And that's what they were using at Munich. For the first time a Trinnov system sounding brilliant. At least, to these ears.
The 18 cone is a modded JBL item. Four of them in one room shifts some air. Seriously so.

Not seen them before but for a hybrid these were excellent at Munich last May. The 18 inch version with subs that is.

Holy thread resurrection Adam!:)
Tapatalk is actually working with this forum for a long time in ages. Unsure why but hey it's a great reason for a post to celebrate.

Here are the best available publicly consumable stats on panel life, as far as I am aware.
It is your call to decide how to interpret them. But one thing is certain, there is a risk.
I think that associating lack of interest in this forum versus how well ML are doing is a fairly dodgy assertion to make.
Audio forums are not the newish things they used to be years ago and people have to a large extent discovered whether they fit in with particular forums.
Many have been...
The Ayons are long gone now. I had the opportunity to get them at a great price, but I still didn't think it worth paying.
I don't really miss them, but I do remember them in a good light. Crazy design really. Absolutely barking. And here's an interesting fact - the 20 KT150s generated a lot...
400-500 hours with sub-standard sounding caps is possibly going to be a real ****er and require a huge amount of faith.
I hope they sound OK from the word go and just get better and better. Which they might.
Good luck Rich.
If you like the amps as they are you could always use the same caps...
I'm betting they won't. There's zero sign there is an issue.
Despite that they are still worth more than you'd expect given their age so I might do something about it. Having had a peak around inside everything literally looks like it was made yesterday. They were well made too no question...
The Ayons were decked out with KT150s. There's no scope for rolling there, especially considering the valve count!
That is the trouble with high power KT based amps, really. But the KT150s did sound good, as did the Ayons as a whole.
I'd say the KT120s are likely to be a pretty decent option...
The CJ gear does seem to have been a great buy.
I tend to flick between solid state and valve power amps for a change. However, my 211 monos tend to get used more than the vintage Accuphase M-60 monos (the first Accuphase monoblocks they ever made way back in 1975). I recently switched over to...
