Possibly the best speakers Lenehan Audio have ever produced. HD3 cabinets, better lining and heavier bracing used. INCLUDES PURPOSE BUILT ILMENITE FILLED STANDS MADE BY LENEHAN AUDIO Unique Features of ML2 Limited Ultra-high end components upgraded from ML2 Reference, including Duelund capacitors Star ground terminals (connect to normal amp using included wiring bridge) Specifications of lesser ML2 Reference Below Each pair of ML2 Reference are stringently tested, run in for 200 Hrs on music signal, then hand tuned and supplied with their own frequency, phase and impedance plots. The ML2 is the next generation of highend two way monitors from Lenehan Audio. Designed for absolute no compromise music systems. Construction is handbuilt and meticulous in every sense of the word. The composite enclosure panels are first handbuilt piece by piece starting with the 36mm HDF 4mm steel plate composite baffle. After all composite panels are individually constructed the enclosure is assembled using probably the worlds strongest epoxy adhesive. Steel rod, 25mm hardwood dowel and Birch Ply differential bracing are incorporated to produce an enclosure with phenomenally low energy storage. A single ML2 enclosure takes 6 hours of hand sanding before being painted. The finished Loudspeaker looks like it has been machined from a solid billet. In rooms of smaller to average size, ie 50cubic mtrs 1700CuFt to 120cubic mtrs an ML2 will produce authoritive bass down to 35hz and produce resolution smoothness and speed akin to the very best full range electrostatic transducers. When mounted to it’s own dedicated stand the ML2 will weigh approximately 65kg’s (143 lbs) each. Cabinet Composite 18 to 36mm HDF laminated to 4mm sprung steel plate. Plus additional 4mm steel plate composite baffle. Differential Cancellation bracing utilising 25mm hardwood dowel, 13mm steel rod and 18mm Birch Plywood.

Administrator Marc Posted August 23, 2017 Administrator Share Posted August 23, 2017 I had Reference as opposed to Limited, but to this day they remain one of the most engaging and musical speakers I've heard from a standmount speaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree Marc. And this pair are really special. Mike Lenehan reckons they are the best pair of ML2's he's ever made.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vqya23N4086e Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Very satisfied ML2 Reference and Magenta Audio customer from a couple of months ago here. Glad these weren't up for sale then at Magenta or I might have had to decide between them and the ML2 References that I ended up buying from you!

Gremrock Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) I had a pair of Limiteds with all the best in them. They are considerably better than the reference, and well worth the money. Run with the right front end they certainly won't sound like small speakers. GLWTS and enjoy whichever lucky bugger gets them. Edit: Also don't forget the HD3 cabinets, better lining and heavier bracing used. Edited August 29, 2017 by Gremrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
