The poster was in Australia, so that might account for the price variation. 22k in Aussie dollars is about 15k US dollars.

I keep getting the bass integration complaint from non-ML owners. I think in the distant past that might have been a problem, but I think they've overcome it. My 13A's integrate seamlessly. That, of course, is my opinion. But multiple professional reviews (I haven't read one that disagreed), as well as friends hearing mine, agree with my opinion.

And as far as bass punch goes, turn them up and the four powered 10" woofers do quite well.

I have heard the latest generation of ML many times and they are incredible speakers in many ways. They certainly have improved the integration over the years. The discontinuity is still there.

Given the crossover point between the panel and the woofer this will always be an issue there really is no way around the problem. Except to lower the transition point significantly which is not possible given the nature of the panel.

But everyone has different priorities and tastes nothing wrong with that.

I thought perhaps the poster, comments were from AUS. I can certainly understand the frustration I would be frustrated as well. The wild, unfounded comments and outright trashing of QUAD? I don't think so.

If he is satisfied with the ML that is fantastic it is a great product from a great company. My experience with the QUAD is quite different. I have hundreds of satisfied customers and failures even after decades of use are extremely rare.
