    The Listening session I had after alot of tweakin tonight was amazing! This set-up was only a dream for me a year ago! B&K REF2220 amp/Jolida Fusion Pre Amp,a Rega Apolla CD player,Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker wires,and Power Cord,and MIT EXP1 IC,all shoviing info into The ML Montis! Pure Bliss! I never felt this way about my music before! This is a fun ride Gentlemen! The music is everywhere,and airy! It plays effortless at 100db's,and doesnt even feel overpowering,or loud! It just sounds real,and wonderful!

    Very cool pic, gives you a good idea of how large they look in a room - almost a little intimidating! Would love to hear this type of speaker some day, I bet it literally does sound like a "wall of sound".

    For some reason they remind me of this:
