Monolith 3s were one of the best speakers ML ever made, IMHO, and they are better than MG3.6's. You would have to move up to big Soundlabs to get better electrostatic speakers or perhaps get a stacked pair of Quad ESLs to get a more coherent sound. But of course, YMMV.
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
