Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
I’m eyeing the Grandioso M1X , just wondering if it would be a sideways move compared to
my Constellation Centaur ll 500 Stereo , they sure would match my other esoteric gear

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
It's hardly ever a sideways move going from a good stereo amp to a good mono amp. If you own other Esoteric stuff it makes sense to continue with Esoteric to leverage the brand synergy.

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
Agreed...the ES-L XLR link is a leading reason to keep it all Grandioso.
Also, not saying anything against Constellation by any means; I do think the C1X and M1X would be the ideal match sonically
given what I've heard from Constellation amps in the past (that I like) and the past C1 and M1 combination. If it were me,
I'd stick with C1X and M1X together, no doubt. The only deviation from all Esoteric in the stack that is being contemplated
is the Lampi Pacific DAC which is an amazing piece.Legacy Audio Valor+Wavelet v2, Esoteric S-02 Amps HDPlex 300W, RevAudio Labs DC Umbilical, Esoteric Grandioso P1, P1PSU & dual D1 DACs, Cybershaft Prem Ltd OP21A 10 MHz Clock, Esoteric C-02X, Shunyata Everest 8000 & Altaira SG-NR hubs, Sigma SGC/CGC ground cables, VTX-Ag ground tails, AfterBurner8 duplexes, CSP Inc Q4B, S2B IEC plates, Shunyata Omega CLOCK-50 cables, Tubulus Concentus HDMI, Elrod Master Series Diamond SE & Masters Series Gold Power cords and Statement Gold XLRs, Diamond XLRs & Master Series Diamond XLRs, Shunyata OMEGA QR-s power cable, Anaconda Z-tron XLR, Elrod Statement Gold speaker cables, Adona Zero GX3, GX2, GX racks, Composite Audio CF-2010, Townshend Audio Podiums, HRS DPX Damping Plates, Stillpoints Ultra SS w/Ultra Bases, pArtScience 64-well, 2D QRD 3-inch SpaceArray Diffusors

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
The ES-L link, being a current driven analog connection, neuters the influence the cable has on the resulting sound. So a main benefit is you can use a cheaper cable. The difference in sound will depend on the quality/effect of the non ES-L voltage driven cable you're comparing it against.

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
I've read similar. That being said, it certainly does make network cables (MIT, Transparent) a moot point with ES-L.
However, given the resolution of these electronics, even with ES-L Link, I'd still think a quality cable would matter.
Individuals who can play at this level, certainly don't skimp on cables.
I remember a Youtube video years ago when it debuted , the Esoteric rep had the system wired with Odin.
A Sigma V2 XLR loom would be amazing indeed with ES-L Link.

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
I don't know if the C1X supports simultaneous output of ES-L and XLR. If it doesn't, if you connect the C1X>M1X with ES-L you won't be able to use a subwoofer (unless the subwoofer has a high level input).

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
I've certainly had concerns with the people at Onkyo, apparently when they ship you the wrong color its your fault. But this is going back years now. I assumed you had experienced issues with them as well, it appears you have not. Maybe Ill order something and see how it goes.

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
Was just browsing the Esoteric website and saw this on the M1X page:
Grandioso M1X
Notice of Delay in the Release of Grandioso M1X
We would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the delay in the release of the Grandioso M1X to our customers and other related parties.
As we hasten to procure parts that are difficult to obtain, we've been continuing to examine the model's circuitry with a view towards using alternative parts and have decided to advance the design, including circuitry changes, as we see the possibility of further improvement in sound quality.
This design change will result in changes to the appearance, specifications, etc. that were previously announced. However, we are confident that we will be able to deliver the Grandioso M1X with even higher performance and sound quality.
We will keep you informed regarding the model's availability.Rance

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
Announcement on Esoteric website that M1X is being built in limited quantities due to parts availability and will go on sale from May 2022.
There is also a new D1X software update posted there. Although I don't think we have any D1X owners here yet.Speakers: Magico M3, ACC, S-SUB | Electronics: Esoteric Grandioso stack | Amplification: Halcro |

I'll wait for the M1X Mark II...
Or...the "Beyond the Return of the Son of M1X" version...

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
I know this is a M1X thread, but I’m looking for a good condition set of M1 mono blocks. Can be demo or used. Any leads, let me know.

Would love to! But this trip is about supporting my daughter. I can sneak away a few hours during the day, but that’s about it. I’ll come back and visit for a special trip to see you. Sent...
