| Opinions of Reference 3A speakers I have a pair of 3a "La Master Controle" from the 80s that are currently in storage. At the time they were the finest, smoothest speakers I had heard in any home system. They started blowing tweeters, unfortunately. I kept them and moved on to oth... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Take a listen to Reference 3a (http://www.reference3a.com/) if you can. I had their Master Controle years ago and it remains the finest speaker I've had in my system. Enjoy! | |
| long interconnect cable suggestions? Take a look at Canare for single-ended. I have a 30' run and a neighbor who is a ham radio operator. Zero interference or noise that I can trace to the cables. BTW, the cable is between a McIntosh C-38 pre and a McCormack DNA 1/B. Enjoy! | |
| Dave Brubeck-Take Five I'm not sure about Wright and Take 5, but Joe Morello has a good laugh at the end of Unsquare Dance on Time Further Out. Anyone who can listen to this track without tapping their feet is stone-cold dead! | |
| How should I bi-wire my ML sl3 I too have used a double run of 8TC from a McCormack DNA 1/B to the SL3s. | |
| Best cables for electrostats? I'm driving my ML SL3s with 2 pairs of Kimber 8TC from a McCormack DNA 1/B. The cables were originally chosen as the best sounding with my previous amp/speakers (McCormack DNA 0.5/Mirage 1090i) but as I have incrementally upgraded the system I've ... | |
| Martin Logan SL-3 positioning The manual is online at ML - http://www.martinlogan.com/product_archive_resources.html#sl3 | |
| best amp for Martin logan sl-3 I'm using a McCormack DNA 1/Rev B and am quite pleased with the sound. I had upgraded from the DNA .5 and tried the Plinius 100 before setlling on the bigger McCormack. As with all things audio, YMMV and trust your ears. | |
| b&k or Bryston or McCormack? I have a pair of the SL3s and upgraded my McCormack DNA 0.5 to a used McCormack DNA 1/Rev B for about $1600. Within the confines of my room, system, budget, and ears this was the combination that worked for me. The latest Stereophile compares the ... | |
| Matching amps for martinlogan prodigy I'm driving a pair of SL3 with a McCormack DNA 1/Rev B in a room 26*16*7.5. This gives me a conservative 350/side into 4 ohms. If the Prodigy load is similar you can start here, else I have seen the McCormack DNA 2 showing up in a lot of places fo... | |
| Mccormack Micro Amps opinions? I do not know about the micros, but I've just upgraded my DNA 0.5 to a DNA 1/Rev B. and will be selling the .5 shortly. Let me know if you're interested and we can discuss this offline. | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? My current speakers are the Martin-Logan SL3 and I'm most satisfied. The previous all-time champ was La Master Control from 3A (now called Reference 3A). OUTSTANDING monitor with motional-feedback for its powered woofer. They finally blew the twee... | |
| Need some help choosing speakers....... Take a look at the Reference 3A line - if you can find a dealer/importer nearby. | |
| Help....Bi-wiring SL-3's? I, too, have the SL3s biwired with a double run of Kimber 8TC, but mine is to a McCormack DNA1 which has 2 pair of binding posts. Bass seemed tighter when I went from the single, internally biwired run of 8TC to the 2 runs, but I can't say it was ... |
