Q7 vs.... The Montis
 

more details tomorrow :)

Looking forward to your thoughts on this interesting comparison!

I think I know what the "winner" is, but it would be interesting to hear more about what the differences are.

:yikes:

The Q7 completely dwarfs the Montis. I never realised how big they are.

Are you thinking of changing or just adding more speakers to the stable ?

I think those are his surrounds. Nobody would replace Q7's with Montis. The price difference is 20x.

yeah, but NO WHERE near 20x as good ! The Montis is a virtual bargain (like Maggies) when it come to producing great music.

I look forward to hearing about the comparison ……..

+ 1. The law of diminishing returns applies perhaps even more so to Ultra high end gear. To get that last 5-10% costs exponentially more. The current ML series are really nice. Looking forward to the comparo also :yes:

I'm not saying they are 20x as good, i've never heard Q7's in my life. My comment was only this: Nobody buys something costing as much as a Q7, then decides to replace it with something costing as much as a Montis.

It would be like replacing a Ferrari with a prius. They both do a great job getting you where you need to go, and the prius actually does some things better: its more efficient and cheaper. But it's not a Ferrari. If you sell your Ferrari, it's usually not to buy a prius, it's to buy a newer/faster Ferrari :)

I agree that the law of diminishing returns is in play when you compare two items which are so far apart in price. But unlike $$ figures, you can't quantify "twice as good" or "20 times as good" with your ears.

Wow, those really are alot bigger then I imagined. I love that room too.

This is where toga quips "that's what she said" :)
