PBN Montana Sammy: Any Experience?

Thanks for the very detailed and helpful description, Ozfly!!!

I'm especially encouraged by your observation that they are completely non-fatiguing. That's one of the things I like most about the EPS2 -- many well-liked speakers give me ear bleed -- and I was wondering how the new tweeter affected that.

I'm less concerned about the low end, since I listen to primarily small scale music with lots of acoustic instruments and female vocal, but I'd definitely like to dig a bit deeper than the EPS2.

What amplification do you use? I'm running the Pass INT-30A, which is not a powerhouse, and can present issues with some speakers.

Finally, I've got a 14x22x9h open floor plan room; do you think I've enough space?

Thanks again!

John

Oz,

It is good to see you posting again. I would love to catch up and see what occurred after Charlotte and Wachovia. I am still in NY and not going anywhere soon - one daughter in college and one in high school.

Drop me a line privately and I will call you.

John, yes you have enough room, especially with an open floor plan. I am using a pair of the mega powerful Olympia amps (Sierra Audio from PBN) combined with the Olympia LX preamp. Same setup as used to drive the WAS's in a really big room. Let's just say I don't need to turn the volume up too much. The Sammy's seem to drive pretty easily, but I believe all (or many) of the Montana speakers are actually pretty efficient.

Bob, look forward to talking.

Hi John, Sorry for being so late! I just stumbled upon this thread, By the way did you happen to buy the Montanas? Just curious as i own Pass XA 30.5 and plan to buy speakers for the same. Montanas were on my short list. What speakers are you using and how is your experience.?
Thanks
