Monitor Audio LTD MA 3

Zumindest wurden solche LS schon mal bei Tuned-Systems Ffm-Hoechst restauriert: http://www.tuned-sys...ticle&id=30&Itemid=9
Hier könntest du auch mal nachfragen.

Hallo Bernhard,
danke für den Link.
Gruß Oliver

Die Belastbarkeit der Sicherungen ist ja angegeben. 3 Ampere, 2 Ampere und 800 mA. Dann schaust Du bei den vorhandenen Sicherungen nach, ob die schnell (flink), träge, oder mittelträge durchbrennen sollen. Auf der Sicherung steht dazu i.d.Regel ein Buchstabe (T, M, F, o.ä.). Ich gehe von flink aus. Es gibt diese Glassicherungen in 2 Baugrößen.

OK danke,
ich hab mir nur Gadanken gemacht da die Sicherungen die drinnen waren zur Hälfte Spiralform hatten und dachte villeicht müssen solche wieder rein.
Gruß Oliver

So,
neue Sicherungen sind drinnen und ich werde sie mit dem Marantz 2245 betreiben, sehr angenehmer Klang,absolut unaufdringlich,sehr neutral,deteilreich und feinzeichnend mit trockenem kräftigem Bass.Villeicht treffen sie genau meinen Geschmack,aber ich glaube ich hatte noch nichts besseres.
Laut einem HiFi Kollegen sollen die Teile in den 70er Jahren an die 4000 D Mark gekostet haben,kann das jemand bestätigen ? oder kann das überhaupt hinkommen ? erscheint mir etwas viel.
Grüße Oliver

Es ist sicher klanglich noch mehr drin als Deine beiden Receiver.

Ja klar gibt es bessere Receiver als den 2245,ich habe noch den 2325,mit dem teste ich sie morgen,bin aber auch mit dem kleinen Marantz sehr zufrieden.

Hallo,
sind wohl recht seltene Boxen und nicht so bekannt.
Keiner der die kennt ?

Hallo,

2 Testauszüge aus meinem bescheidenen Archiv.

There is growing interest in the new range of speakers manufactured by a relatively small company, Monitor Audio. The large MA3 has impressed many listeners.
The MA design has used both electronic theory and practice to jig-saw together the characteristics of the different drive units used so that each unit operates only
in that frequency range where it can give of its best. Hi-Fi for Pleasure Oct. '75

Tough speaker
To complete the basic reproduction chain all that is needed is a pair of speakers. No great problem you might think, after all there are a fair number of really good
units around to choose from when price is none too serious a consideration. Trouble is that though there is no shortage of good speakers there are problems in
finding ones that can be safely used wich the mammoth 170W per channel of the Trio 700M. With all too many units the result of applying such power would be disastrous.
Just to compound the problem many of the speakers that will take this sort of power do not sound all that good to British ears, often having a hard and rather tiring sound.
However, wich a bit of research a real contender did emerge in the shape of the Monitor Audio MA3 model. Specifically designed to offer a high power handling capacity,
these speakers incorporate fuse protection of the drive units. Thus in the event of serious overload the fuses will blow rather than the speakers - and it is a lot easier to replace a
fuse than a drive unit! Of relatively Compact construction the MA3 speakers can be supplied wich a castor-mounted stand to facilitate positioning. Three drive units are employed
- 9in x 13in elliptical bass, 7in mid-range and 1 in dome tweeter - in a reflex enclosure.
So how does it all sound? In brief, fantastic! In more detail, the outstanding feature is a complete lack of strain wich even the most crashing crescendos coming over easily.
Particular features that stuck in the mind were the very low levels of system noise and the general ease of Operation. All the controls had a nice, precise feel to them,
giving confidence that a fair proportion of all the money really had gone into the engineering.
As to the speakers, the sounds produced would bear comparison with virtually any other. Particularly outstanding was the bass which can be characterised as having notable clarity,
probably due to an almost total lack of confusing boom. A fine piece of work all round that the designer can rightly be proud of. What is more, these speakers managed to retain their
fine qualities even when driven really hard by the Trio amp, and no ill effects were noticed at what raust haue been frightening peak sound levels.
In fact Observation of the power-amp meters showed that even at high average sound levels only a comparatively small amount of power was actually going into the
speakers. Though when a musical peak occurred it was easy to see the need for such large reserves with the meter needles swinging rapidly towards the OdB point (corresponding to 170W remember).
This is, after all, the real justification for high powers, sensible listening levels with a sufficient reserve for distortion-free peaks. Popular Hi-Fi, 1975
