ML Panels
Was thinking about replacing my panels this year. So I called ML and found out that most of the replacement panels have jumped up significantly - almost DOUBLED!!!!
Maybe time to find a new speaker..... |

That seems the norm with most things of hifi lately that I've been browsing.

I sold a pair of SL3's for that exact reason a couple of years ago, and the replacement screens were only $760 a pair!

I am starting to look at used ML - the SL3, coincidentally - and sent an email to ML about replacements. They quoted $1302 for a pair plus shipping.

I just talked to Melodie at ML a week ago and she told me that SL3 panels were $650 plus shipping. To me that was $690 total. You might want to check again.

"Generally speaking, panels need to be replaced every 10-15 years or more. Our service team has the parts available and can certainly walk you through the repair. The cost of SL3 panels is $1302 for the pair plus shipping." Now, doing a little arithmetic, $650 x 2 = $1300. Maybe Melodie (what a great name for someone working at a speaker company)! quoted you a per-panel price? |

On a positive side, the new panels have the new x stat technology, which translates to better sound. so it is not only a replacement, but also an upgrade.
