Just set up my lovely MA PL100s

[matengawhat]

Just finished building the stands and nearly broke my back carrying the speakers up the stairs - come in a wooden supported box or maybe crate better word! Just connected them up to my system and wow these sound great can't wait to run them in - first impressions very clear sounds a bit polite at present - both treble and bass detail seem really good. Very prety speakers - great build - look amazing on their stands

Also bought the PL150 center without seeing it and its a big heavy beast - actually have nowhere to put it at present until new rack arrives so just boxed back up.

I am jealous! What sub are you using with them?

Any chance of some pics?! Especially the PL150, would like to how big it is!

pl150 is big - if you turn both your pl100s on there sides and push together that how high and deep it is - obviously its about the tweeter plus surround smaller but its big - will post some pics when i get my new stand as i boxed the pl150 back up as just haven't any room on rack for it

I have the PL100's and they were the best speaker I heard up to £3k. Enjoy......

i think these are amazing speakers and really enjoyying them everything i have put on just sounds so much better than before the soundstage is massive looking forward to get them fully run in so i canexperiment with positioning ect

do you have the matching stands and have you mass loaded them at all?

 

[Anonymous]

Fantastic, I hope you enjoy them. I made the critical mistake of popping in to a hifi store in Exeter this weekend. I had a quick listen to the Proac D2s on some disgustingly expensive Naim kit.

I've clearly forgotten what bass is. I love my SA1s to pieces and couldn't get away with anything much bigger, but blimey, these were stunning. I think your PLs will be similar in perfection

I do have the matching stands but I haven't mass loaded them. I don't think they're designed to be mass loaded but I could be wrong.

the central column is empty and can be filled - i contacted ma and they said try it and see - i'm really happy with the sound but can't help but feel like i should try it especially since have a load of atabites spare from previous stands
