The ML Sequel IIs may be too big for this bedroom...
« on: September 25, 2011, 06:12:51 PM »
But they are easier to carry upstairs than the 130 pound Proacs.   These are the only speakers ever my wife has tagged as "beautiful".   I am interested in trading these for smaller Martin Logans or a decent pair of really good mini-monitors (or floorstanders) that work well in a near-field arrangement.

Have a great week!

Pepe,

I got no idea of the value on the Sequell IIs.  What would a fair trade be in $$ value?

Hi Scott,  here's the blue book report on them:

(by the way,  if anyone else needs blue book info let me know,  I still have 16 days to go on my subscription)

Pepe,

I probably only got one speaker that fits your criteria (stand mounted) and have decent trade value...... Taylor Acoustics Taylo Reference Monitors.  But, am not ready to let them go since I also have matching custom made Taylor Acoustics stereo subs to go with them.

Following a lead from a suggested tweak on the web,  i tried the MLs with the subs out of phase (relative to factory).  made a huge difference!  as good as they sounded before,  they sound better now - tighter, less muddy bass.  I can turn the True Sub off and not miss it too much... ;)
