You're a very convincing person, I'll give you that :). Happy purchasing and thanks again! 
Martin Logan Classic 9 vs. Impression 11A - sound impressions and burn in question
This is extremely useful, thank you so much! Before this audition I would have never guessed the Classic 9's panel would be any different to it's larger siblings from a tonality point of view, but you are totally confirming what I was hearing. Wha... 
Martin Logan Classic 9 vs. Impression 11A - sound impressions and burn in question
@jeffvegas: What you're saying makes perfect sense, although it's not what I wanted to hear. Have you heard these two models?@emailists: PM sent.Thank you both. I know there are other Impression 11A users around, I'd appreciate more feedback espec... 
Spendor Classic 1/2
 Hi @mpomerantz!Have you been able to listen to the Spendors? If so, what were your impressions? 
Dynaudio burn in time and how you do it...
Martin Logan states in the manual of my Classic ESL 9’s that their bass drivers need to loosen up and the sound may seem to lack bass during the first 75 hours or so. My experience confirms this, there was definitely a significant change for the b...

Thanks! 
Martin Logan reQuests vs newer Martin Logan offerings
If you keep the panels vacuumed, they should last for years. As a last resort, you can pull the panels and wash them. (See Martin Logan's Owner Site). So their limited lifespan is mainly related to dust accumulation? Or is it something relate... 
Martin Logan ESL 9 CLASSIC
You created 2 threads about the same speakers?! Might make the discussion difficult to follow.I own a pair of Classic ESL 9. Yes, they can rock - as you said, BIG sound and, at least in my room, weighty, satisfying low end. They also like to be c... 
Just auditioned Martin Logan ESL vs 60xt
...speaking of amps for electrostats: is there a danger in using inappropriate (i.e. unable to cope with the <1ohm load in the high frequencies) amplifiers with such speakers? I have a pair of Martin Logans (the Classic 9) and I was thinking of... 
Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3
Hi, @helomech! You seem to be one of the few people around with direct experience with the Spendor SP2/3R2. Could you please elaborate a bit more on:1. the difference between the SP2/3R2 and the Stirling's?2. the difference between the SP2/3R2 ... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@prof: I find this quite surprising. I have listened to the previous generation Spendor Classic series in the SP2/3R2 speakers and it looks the same (I'm pretty sure it's actually the same) and to my ears sounded quite the similar to tweeter in th... 
Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)?
I know they are inferior, but this is what I can audition. I hope that, having heard the D48R and D20R, I'll have a better idea about the D30RS' sound, especially the tonality or "house sound". You've been a great help and I don't want to abuse yo... 
Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)?
I see, thanks a lot for the explanation! Sound very promising. What amplifier are you using with them? I'm really tempted. I'll listen to the supposedly much inferior D20R in a few days. I have high hopes (but if I go for Proac, it will definitely... 
Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)?
   Thank you for your reply, I appreciate your input here and in another thread! What you are writing seems very promising and matches the first impression I have about their larger sibling, the D48R. What did you like about the D30RS more compare... 
Proac D30RS vs. Spendor Classic 1/2 (or maybe Harbeth SHL5+)?
@audioconnection: Thanks for the suggestions, a bit too rich for my blood I'm afraid and I cannot hear these amplifiers before buying either. They definitely look like a quality proposition, though! @donvito: Several reasons: I heard the previous ...
