The Sequel IIs that I have produce respectable bass. In most of the many homes that I have had them in, they dig deep and hold a solid line. And this house is no different. The bottom end is good -- not Summit good, but good nevertheless.
When I replaced the panels on my speakers, I asked 3 different people at ML whether they thought I should do the woofers at the same time. They all said no -- if they ain't broke, don't fix 'em. I found this surprising...they threw away the opportunity to make a few more bucks from me. Why would the likes of Jim Powers tell me to save my money and keep my original, although perfectly functioning, woofers when there is a profit motive ??
My thoughts are that they offer nothing new or improved for this model of speaker, which wouldn't surprise me considering their age. Or maybe they are just the most honest, no BS, bunch of HiFi guys out there... I just don't really claim to know which it is.
SO
Does anyone know if there is an updated woofer for the Sequel/SL3 line that might be worth looking into ? Why would ML be so adamant about not replacing them ? Is there an aftermarket equivalent that offers better performance ?
Inquiring minds.... :think::think:
TIA, fellas !!
