It will be interesting to see[hear] if they can deliver on the performance of M&K's past or if they'll be content to ride the name alone. Other than the tripole design, these speakers look more like a miniaturized, value-engineered versions of the former great speakers of M&K.

Just looking at the new M-Series vs the 750s, I can't say I'm impressed, much less vs the 150s... but of course it'll take an actual listen to form an opinion. Currently though, color me skeptical.]]>Mar 10th 2008 9:23AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/Mar 10th 2008 10:40PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/Mar 10th 2008 10:56AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/
The metal grills on M&K's WERE part of the high-transmission tweeter arrangement found on the 750s that place the tweeter at a ~5 degree angle to improve the narrow sound stage and imaging found in a lot of HT speakers... not sure these silk-dome, stright-ahead tweeter take much advantage of them in the same way.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:27PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/Mar 10th 2008 11:51AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/

I keep the grills on, but mine are removable cloth, and I was unaware that it did much to the acoustics.

Horns are very directional, as are the tweeters used in the 750s and 150s, hence the respective solutions to expanding the sound-stage of both models.

The lobing [I hope I'm using the right term here] has less to do with your tweeter and more to do with the mid-range and lower frequencies wavelengths that can cancel each other out... it's not as much what you'd hear, as much as what you wouldn't hear... if that makes sense.]]>Mar 10th 2008 3:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/Mar 10th 2008 6:12PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/10/miller-and-kreisel-back-from-the-dead-has-new-speakers-to-prove-i/Mar 10th 2008 10:41PM
