Jeg har ikke sammenlignet Summit X direkte med Montis, men er ikke enig i at Montis har bedre bass enn Summit X.
En som tydeligvis har en klar oppfatning av forskjellene er Noel Keywood i Hi-Fi World, som i februar i år sier følgende:
"Yes, the Summit X does have better bass than the Montis, although it isn't perfect perhaps. There is less disparity between panel and box, they seemingly integrate better. That "textural" lack of differentiation remains, but it is less apparent. The Summit X seems to have lighter and drier bass, although it goes very low and subsonics are obvious. I heard no difference in the XStat panel, and its imaging remains superb.
The Summit X is a step up on the other models and bass is improved. It has become more academically correct, as it were. Big bass form a small box will forever raise problems DSP cannot eradicate. The big issue is internal energy emerging through the cone time delayed (overhang). There's little that can be done about this, other than Isobarik loading."
En annen sak er at Montis sikkert er "mer høyttaler for pengene", da Summit X ligger en god del høyere i pris.
