| Martin Logan Odyssey power supply board testing I have Odysseys that I bought in 2005. About 10 years ago I replaced the power supply in one of them and am now faced with the same problem in the other. I'm trying to avoid buying a new one again especially because I don't know for sure if the pr... | |
| Using same speaker pair with two different amps Thanks. I searched everywhere to find a photo or description of the rear panel of the DPS-1 and found nothing but stock photos of the front. I'm going to use one, I guess, but would like to use my existing banana plugs. Also, I'm using custom made... | |
| Using same speaker pair with two different amps Thanks, Audioconnection. I've been doing this for over 50 yrs and have never even heard of this being done. I looked at the description of this Niles switching device and, you're right, it looks like it will do what I need. | |
| Tweeter type and brightness Byfwynne, once again you suggest a logical approach to one of my several questions. I will repair the ML's whether or not I decide to continue with them. At this point it's very likely that I will put them back into service and keep them; after al... | |
| Tweeter type and brightness As it turns out, it may have nothing or very little to do with tweeter design or construction material at all, in my case. Recently, I bought a pair of Monitor Audio S8's and had a tweeter failure in one (open circuit). It took me an hour or so to... | |
| Using small stereo speakers Well, ZD, that's a good question and one which reminds me of my bad news. I bought this sub quite a few years ago when I was putting a combination system (stereo and surround) together using JM labs speakers across the front. For this setup I deci... | |
| Tweeter type and brightness Bifwynne, your suggestion makes a lot of sense and is a direction that I'm seriously starting to lean toward. I've enjoyed the Odysseys for many years and what seems to have happened is that when I thought my equipment was failing it was actually ... | |
| Tweeter type and brightness In previous forums I've commented on my hearing issues and questioned whether a good equalizer would help with my sensitivity to upper frequencies. Although I didn't comment on it, though, I've always felt that frequencies beyond audible range add... | |
| Tweeter type and brightness Thanks, all of you for your responses; they've been helpful but I jumped the gun a bit. To have speakers in the system while I'm trying to decide what to do about the Odysseys, I ordered a used pair of Monitor Audio Silver eights from eBay. They a... | |
| Equalizers-Using to compensate for hearing loss Thanks, Buconero. I thought I had researched this issue fairly well having spent several weeks off and on studying the subject using the internet, used 3 different audiologists and 2 pairs of high quality aids. Both sets use two microphones each a... | |
| Equalizers-Using to compensate for hearing loss Thanks very much to all of you. I'm more comfortable now with the idea of at least trying the equalizer approach, and will. Peppermill, your response was what mine would have been before I bought mine and it makes a great deal of sense. Yes, with ... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Mrmb, yes, I do have some success to report. I mounted the acoustical foam on the back of the frame about 10" behind the panel which keeps it mostly out of sight. Based on my way of thinking, because of the concave design of the rear face of the t... | |
| Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System Thanks for your advice. What I described as egg crate is actually of a pyramidal design so is probably a little more efficient because the angle of attack of the sound waves is shallower. As far as SPL value is concerned, what I consider loud depe... | |
| Jamo Concert VII's I recently bought the Concert 8's for temporary use because I thought my ML Odysseys were starting to fail. I've used full range and monitors by Focal and was very happy with them but I've never owned any speaker that I was more impressed with tha... | |
| Age Related Hearing problems and hearing aids I have pretty limited experience so I don't know how much the same they all might be. I originally bought a new pair of very cheap aids (~$30) which do nothing but amplifiy all frequencies across the board. The second pair that I bought used (Reso... |
