It was purchased from oak furniture land about 6 years ago so will have had a model update by now!I like your wood cabinet, can you tell us which make ?
Me too when I first heard smaller MLs and Gyrodec over 20 years ago. I have wondered whether they are revealing rather than harsh, I didn’t think they were when I used my Aerius i for a while. I’ll take them and the unopened spare panels down from the loft this year and see how I feel having not heard them for 2 or 3 years now. They went into storage when life changed and the cat came as part of the package and I didn’t want it using the panels as climbing frames.Missed this, John, and thanks. Very interesting comment on your M-Ls which I've never come across before. Could have sth to do with the 30 degree dispersion angle? You mention Coventry but Quad are in Huntingdon (where my 2905s are, currently; breath-taking bill for re-panelling !!!!!)
Heard (much smaller) M-Ls once, briefly, 12+ years ago and was quite impressed. Otherwise I've no experience but have been tempted. Up to now, at least !!!!
Wow. Qobuz is amazing, have a listen to the Joni Mitchell Vol 3 Archives. Your TT will get less use.
For the first time in years there has been a fairly substantive change. A Chord DSX1000 DAC/network streamer has arrived. Basically a Chord QBD76 with a DLNA/UPNP front end as well as a standard digital coax in for the Apollo-R as transport. I’m still sorting the network out as at present it is just hanging off the ethernet port of an Airport Express (I’ll run a proper cat 5 cable from the router in the back room, I have a suitably long cable on order) and I’ve taken out a Qobuz subscription. I’m very impressed so far. This will be a great music discovery tool. As a DAC it does edge-out the PDM3, though not by much (the PDM3 is seriously good IMO). At this level all DACs sound really good to my mind, i.e. once one is well above the point compromises were made in the analogue circuitry etc.
PS I do have the crazy big wide legs with it, but I very carefully took them off so it would actually fit on my table!

Some of the remasters on there are excellent. Some excellent HD REM for example. I’m delving further into the Joni Mitchell archives, last years release from The Streets is excellent.The one that has knocked me out so far is the recent Slowdive album Everything Is Alive. I came so close to buying it when there were nice limited signed copies floating around, but I’m always skeptical with old bands, so I passed. Played the 24/48 on Qobuz last night and it is a) a great album, and b) sounds absolutely amazing. Wish I’d bought it now!
Would certainly be interesting but compared to what that you've been using in the interim? I'm wondering if, having now become accustomed to my PMC Twenty.26 and their set of strengths, how I'll take returning to my 6 panel ESLs. I guess that lovely wall of sound presentation will be a welcome reacquaintance.I’ll take them and the unopened spare panels down from the loft this year and see how I feel having not heard them for 2 or 3 years now.

What are you using as a source for Qobuz, is it via a laptop / PC ?
That's beautiful kit!Lumin D2 replaced Eversolo A6.. more my taste
Still very much learning my way around. At present the MConnect Pro app on my iPhone or iPad.
My main piece of unsolicited advice is to find an interface that makes it easy-ish to find and play internet radio streams. This is where the magic really lies, for me! Being able to play, say, a shoegaze station from Southern California or any number of FIP channels is just incredible.
If anyone has a recommendation for an iOS app that can squirt internet radio via DLNA let me know.
Yes probably a new model by now, but thanks for letting us know.It was purchased from oak furniture land about 6 years ago so will have had a model update by now!
