Springbok, Beautifully put! I am also worried about people thinking you were paid or have a connection to M&D. I bought them based on 6 Moons as well. The way I purchase equipment since I live in Orlando FL and can't find any highend dealers nearby, Is try and read between the lines of the reviewer, and see if he is giving your run of the mill type>> "Highly recommended, sound good with this music etc" and weed out any kind of negatives even suttle ones. 6 Moons reviewers went GAGA over the entire line so far, and more reviews on the way. In fact they have apologized for having so many reviews but if something is that good, why not? Also, more Audio sites are heaping praise on different ones as well. Also, I saw they came out with a Mini version which may be great as point source monitor as well. I to have raved about many speakers including>> Totem, JMLAB, B&W, Merlin, Maggies, Usher, Proacs, Zu, Omega, etc which I have owned. But none have floated my boat as much as these. I would love to hear the Aragons which I heard are real giant killers. ALso, they have the best bass of any monitor I have ever hears.
Bi-amping mark-Daniel Maximus: Mind-blowing
It escapes me that these unique speakers are hardly spoken of - admittedly tough loads - 85 db, 4 ohm, dipping to 2.8 - must be bi-amped, by decree of makers - understandably - but when they are, do they rock/sing/pulsate/kick butt/image and grab you relentlessly! Probably the most fun/rowdy-yet-musical, vibrant, yet coherent - system I have heard in my no waf play-room. M-D Maximus, biamped with Moscode hybrid 401 (400 WPC into 4 ohms) for the bottom 950 Hz and TAD-1000 100 WPC pure tubes, driven by 1960 Mullards and Amperex orange logo - and JJ 34 EL Blue glass for the highs. Made my hair stand on end. If there is a more dynamic set-up for a medium sized room, placed 8 ft from walls, I've never heard it. These speakers are a revelation and I urge others to listen to them. I dont work for M-D and only know about them from the 6 Moons review and susequent discussions with owners. Wow! I'm still foot-tapping, an hour after they were turned off to watch Papelbon zap the Rockies............Go hear them, but insist on big, nasty, fun amps, typified by the Moscode 401. D amps didnt do it, nor did pure tubes. But MOSFET low end and tubes for the rest sure made this old tube geezer a dancing man:)
