Extra Info: Brand new, in box, instructions, brochures etc Loads of positive reviews of this high end stand mount - large bookshelf speaker https://6moons.com/audioreviews/markdaniel5/maximus.html http://www.mark-daniel.com Frequency Response: 38Hz-25KHz Two-way Crossover: 700Hz Nominal Impedance: 3-6 Ohms Average Efficiency: 85dB/2.83V/1m Power Handling: 100 Watts Enclosure Material: CAM solid surfacing Overall Size: H36.5 x W21.6 xD28.5 cm (H14.4”xW8.5”xD11.2” ) Weight (each): 15.3 Kg (34 lb) The successful development to Maximus-Monitor+, as one major representative speaker on the premium Plus(+) series product lines; Mark & Danielis again, demonstrating to the world that he has accomplished another major achievement with leading technologies to hi-fi industry. After long research, having uniquely developed the super-thin diaphragm craft on his Dreams-a drivers and incorporated the new QMA design on the SX woofers, the Maximus-Monitor+ speaker has proven how a bookshelf speaker is possible to create a true, huge sound and unparallel performance with a small enclosure that comparable, even superior, to most of inexpensive floor-standing speakers; a great innovation by M&D again, to challenge the mission impossible! Only one-half thickness over the conventional substarte materials, a 0.0125mm super-thin polyimide (Kapton) as new diaphragm’s substrate has been sucessfuly crafted to consititude the DM-1a Dreams AMT driver. Due to the lighter moving mass of ribbons to Dreams-a diaphragm, HF response (from the original 22KHz up to 25KHz), transit response, and detailing resolution may futher be improved; on the other hand, this substrate with higher compliance to the pleated diaphragm has also significanly extended the low-end frequency response of Dreams one step down; the two-way crossover point has been dropped from the original 800Hz down to lower than 700Hz! Ranged from 700Hz up to 25KHz, amazingly for over 5-octave wideband reproduction has been achieved by this single DM-1-a driver on Maximus-Monitor+ speaker! Uniquely low 700Hz crossover point on this two-way bookshelf speaker is not only further aparting from the most sensitive (800Hz-4KHz) mid-frequency range for human ears, but also significantly helps for a low FMD (Frequency Modulation Distortion) reproduction to the incorprtated SX woofer. Maximus-Monitor+ is therefore, capable to reproduce the sound with absolute transparency and clarity that audiophiles have ever been experienced, upon such a bookshelf speaker! On the other hand to the new 6.5” SX woofer with M&D’s uniquely QMA (Quantified Magnets Alignment) design, having definite unparellel ±12.5mm (1”) Xmax excursion, the SX6.5q-1.0 woofer has been assembled onto Maximus-Monitor+ speaker; a stunning deep bass reproduction on amplifude (under very high SPL output), frequency (for system F3 down to an amazing 38Hz), and full Q-control(along with the complete excursion range) have been optimized. A 12dB/oct crossover network for perfect matching with these outstanding dirvers has been painstakingly designed for Maximus-Monitor+ speaker; essential elements such as the large Gauge 15 coreless inductor, audio-grade FPP (with 0.06% dissipation factor) coupling capacitor have been incorporated on the PCB for fulfil best system demands. Maximus-Monitor+ has the dimensions: H36.5cm (14.4“) xW21.6cm (8.5”) xD28.5cm (11.2“); a rein-forced compond marble enclosure with the diamond shaped panel for effectively reducing the diffractional sound interferances and for aethetic design, is extremely solid and heavy that each weighting up to 15.3 Kg (34 lb). The nominal impedance is 3-6 ohms with average efficiency being 85dB/2.83V/1m. Maximus-Monitor+ speaker has equipped an iron grille on the panel for proper protections to the woofer; due to the high openness to the grille plus the woofer is only working to the mid-bass ranges, the influence to sound reproduction by the grill is negligible. Therefore, the grille is not necessary to be taken out from the panel during auditions. For proper operation, a high current amplifier with 100 Watts output per channel connecting with the bi-wire cable is the minimum requirement for driving the Maximus-Monitor+. For better sound performance and cost saving, two mid-power (35-60 Watts) amplifiers can be configured as the bi-amp playback system, is recommended by M&D. Imagine if there was a way to take the bass performance, sound stage, and spatial clarity of floor-standing speakers and not just shrink that speaker it into bookshelf size but actually create a better performing, more accurate miniature speaker. Introducing the revolutionary Maximus bookshelf speakers engineered by Mark & Daniel.The sound systems with pioneering concepts and technologies. We have now achieved these remarkable breakthroughs in audio technology: The world's first 800Hz low crossover 2-way bookshelf speaker with low FMD index design. The exclusive Dreams wideband high resolution driver covers 800Hz up to 22KHz, ensureing perfect reproduction of the essential MF (800Hz to 4KHz) and HF band. A woofer having a superb 10mm linear excursion made possible by patented SX technology, and capable of at least 7dB higher SPL output with a true low F3 bass reproduction. Hand-made seamless Compound Marble enclosure assures rigidity and style. M&D®'s Maximus sound systems, the most creative and powerful bookshelf speakers ever made! The Drivers M&D® has achieved several breakthroughs in speaker design that redefine speaker systems based on true hi-fi fundamentals. The results are a profound innovation for the audio driving modules, made possible by their unique Dreams wideband high-resolution driver for tweeters, and their patented SX technology for woofers. Unique drivers with leading edge technology and the special Compound Marble hand-crafted enclosures produce clarity of sound that simply must be heard to be believed. All major components are developed and crafted "in-house" for unparalleled performance. For hi-fi reproduction, many start with our miniature speaker, the 5" Maximus- Ruby , or the 6.5" Maximus-Monitor . Both have won high praise and awards from audiophiles and the press. Unified sonic character All speakers produced by Mark & Daniel® have a unified sonic character. The only real difference is their output capability which should be tailored to fit different listening environments. With the Maximus Ruby being recommended for smaller rooms, and the Maximus monitor recommended for small to medium sized living spaces.

Doppelganger Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I do. Excellent speakers with the fullest bass I’ve heard from 2-way standmounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleeyes Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) They are sonic bargains seriously high end for a small speaker, smallish, add two subs and they will beat a lot of $10000 speakers.
