Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
It seems they are suggesting an MSRP of 2.4MM Yen so about $23,000 to $24,000 each.

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
Pretty reasonable pricing for monoblock amplifiers in today’s high-end audio world.

Re: *New* Esoteric Grandioso M1X Monos
Very reasonable assumption for the uninitiated, based solely on the equipment you own, you are not one of the unintiated and you know better. Expect each one of these Monos to retail for $35-$40K USD. Originally Posted by crwilli

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.

State of the Art.
Don't forget the ES-L XLR link to connect all your devices.
If you acquire these amps.
Please post your impressions here :-)

Agreed...the ES-L XLR link is a leading reason to keep it all Grandioso. Originally Posted by mdp632

I'd stick with C1X and M1X together, no doubt. The only deviation from all Esoteric in the stack that is being contemplated

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. Originally Posted by brodricj

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).

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. Originally Posted by Mike

I’d like to know when the M1X becomes available. I’ll be interested as an early adopter to find a demo pair to see what improvements are lurking sound wise.
