    Montis + Pathos Classic 1 Mk 3

    I wonder... What would you do if a little Pathos Classic 1 Mk 3 wanted to follow you home? Pluses: It's cute. It has a fully balanced tube preamp stage. It has XLR inputs for a DAC or an XLR equipped CD player. It has a mosfet power amp stage. It's stable down to 1 ohm and can drive Martin...

    Bose AM5 for Surrounds?

    Has anyone used Bose AM5 speakers for surrounds? I have an AM5 system which I use as a 2nd system with my gaming computer. I'm thinking of adding a pair of surround speakers to my Montis system and I reckon I could make better use of the Bose speakers. Pros: small, discrete, easy to install...

    Montis

    I've had these speakers for about 3 months now. I thought the bass response was pretty good after a couple of weeks. Now, I wasn't very supportive of the theory that the bass drivers in ML speakers take a while to run in. I thought most of the running in would occur relatively quickly. Well...

    Mac Book Pro DAC

    I own a 2013 non retina 13inch pro. I use it as a source for my work/office based music system. To listen to my music files, I normally connect the Mac Book to the amplifier via the headphone socket using an interconnect with a mini phono connector on one end and a pair of rca connectors on...

    Jokes

    Paul Klipsch and Amar Bose meet at a show. Bose cups his hands around his mouth and shouts "Hello Paul, how are you?" PWK turns his back to Bose and mumbles "Fine Amar, how are you?"

    Montis

    I owned the original Summit some years ago. These were unfortunately sold. Some time later the Summits were 'replaced' with a pair of Theos. The Theos weren't Summits, but for the price they offered much of the Martin Logan electrostatic magic without the stunning bass weight I was used to...

    Ethos and subwoofers

    Ethos owners. Does anyone match their speakers with subs? If so, what brand/type? Does anyone run the Ethos full range without sub reinforcement? How do they sound in room minus sub? For information, I currently own a REL T2 sub. This sub matched perfectly with the Theos, but looking at...

    Theos vs Children

    It's no contest. Two children, one 6 years and the other 9 years (they used to be mine but are now disowned), managed to enter my music room. They wanted to build a cubby house to play in while Dad was at work. Using their still developing muscles, they manoeuvred a room divider to stand next...

    New Theos Review

    Most of you would have seen this, but for those that haven't... http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/martinlogan-theos This review, and others I have read, have all been highly favorable. Many of the virtues dscussed in this review are evident in my listening at home.

    How good is your hearing?

    There's a thread going on in the Klipsch Forum about frequency responses of loudspeakers and our hearing threshold. Someone posted this link in the thread where you can test your hearing. It's not very scientific, but I've tried it and I'm surprised that I can just hear the 16Hz tone. It's...

    CLX Audition

    I heard the CLX today. Wow! They were finished in a black ash with the 'Art' frame. The amplifiers were MBL monoblocs with matching preamp. The listening room was huge. I asked for the twin ML subs to be switched off, and away we went... I'm used to the Theos in a mid sized room. The CLX...

    Multi-channel amplifier for Theos

    I have decided to venture into multi-channel. I was concerned about implementing multi-channel without the high cost and complexity of separate discrete amplifiers. I was also concerned about the ability of any H/T receiver I purchased being able to drive the Martin Logan Theos speakers as...

    Panasonic PT-AE700 Projector - fried by lightning

    I was watching a movie the other night. My wife warned me a thunderstorm was on the way. About halfway through the movie, I saw lightning flashes out the window, so I thought I should maybe switch my gear off. Just as I was thinking about getting up from my comfy seat, there was an extra...

    Theos on the way...

    Instead of the SL3s I was looking at, I've ordered a new pair of Theos. They should arrive tomorrow. Henry Ford is believed to have said: “People can have the Model T in any color – so long as it’s black.” Well, the dealer was happy to misquote Ford and he said: "You can have any color you...

    Second System Options: Aeon I or SL3?

    Hey guys, Considering a second system and a pair of Aeon I's or SL3's (with new panels). Both are the same price. I'm leaning towards the Aeon I's as they are a newer speaker, but... :confused: Also does anyone have views on the Anthem A2 power amp driving ML speakers. The asking price for...

    Australian hi-fi review of Ethos

    This is a very enthusiastic review of the Ethos. The review includes a technical appraisal which seems to commend the bass performance - contrary to what the British Hi-Fi World say in their review...

    Vantage vs Ethos

    After I had to sell my Summits a few months ago, I finally returned to my ML dealer with the intention of buying probably the Ethos - the Summit is now out of my price range. I have to admit the Ethos is a stunning looking speaker. ML should be proud of it's design. The Ethos sounds as good...
