I would suggest Innersound electrostatics or sound labs (used) in that price range. Innersound may have some new eros mark 3.5 speakers left over otherwise I believe the new flagship is near $20,000. You might also consider a magnepan 3.6 (+/-) mods. Monoliths were very nice and I think better than some of the newer offerings of ML. It is a tough but not impossible act to follow.
advice on speakers to replace ML Monolith 3
Hi everybody
I have just sold my ML which I liked but had had them for 4 years and time for a change.
Speakers I am considering $4- 7 k range maybe a little more
MG 3.6 R - good reviews but I have seen comments on poor crossover parts and build quality
MG 20.1 - if I can get a good used pair - a bit large however
Soundlab M1 -M3 either used or new for the M3 - build quality?
I have seen a number of posts where thet have been sent back to be rebuilt after a couple of years - seems the panels are suspect to me
ML Odyssey and Prodigy... maybe the Odyssey is more manageable and gives 95% of the performance...?
Legacy Focus 20/20
I am leaning towards the MG 3.6 - and realize I need some stands - Mye seems to stand out and I also see there are some Cardas wiring options.
I did like the Monoliths once they had broken in and got the position right. Fabulous mid and top.. bass pretty good also. So have a leaning towards electrostatic and ribbons
Listening mainly pop rock and blues - like the sound of the guitar - Knopfler Clapton etc also the female voice
My system consists of Krell KCT ;SACD And FBP300cx
any comments which can help me reduce the shortlist or even consider another is welcome.
thanks in advance for your help
