Audio Magic Monoliths .. Has Anyone Tried Them?

Mr B- You are correct. The Mini, Standard and Monolith are iterations of the same technology(Pulsed Electron Alignment), with various placement possibilities(ie: inside equipment) & power increases, relative to size.

Brownsfan,

Thanks for all this interesting information. Would you mind describing what they do to the sound in your system? Specifically, I am interested in how they might affect the sound stage, imaging, detail, tonality and transparency?

Brownsfan and Rodman99999,

I am not a big fan of a forward sound stage. I prefer when it is a bit recessed, like listening to a live performance. This is natural sounding to me. Do the PEAs actually bring the sound stage forward? What happens to imaging with the PEAs in place?

I have found that these room treatment devices. Those that produce a fuller more warmer sonic change tends to be more forward i.e. more presence regio.

The Acoustic revive doesnt do this as the sound can sound more defined yet a neutral effect which opens out the soundstage without giving the impression of forwardness to the sound.

Anyone compared the PEAs, monoliths to other devices?

Sabai, Sorry, I must have missed your post from the 14th. I've been asked this before, and I am at a loss to put my finger on how to describe the sonic difference these make. The best I can do, is tell you that these substantially increase the "rightness." When they are turned off, somehow things just aren't right. I know that is not very satisfactory, but that is the best I can do. I have 3 standard PEAs, which were added one at a time. This may be a good way for most people to go. I got one at retail and bought 2 used from other AG members, so this was a very cost effective tweak.
