| Spkr Cable for Martin Logan SL3s I use 15+ foot long runs. Does anyone have any recommendations?Currently using biwire Kimber, but I've heard Analysis Plus and I am thinking about switching. | |
| Martin Logan's Prodigy Howdy, Jim, I am still looking forward to hearing your CLS/SW800 setup some day...On to topic: Prodigy bass. I heard Prodigy's at my dealer and the most striking thing about the panel/bass integration was that it was familiar. Familiar in that I r... | |
| MBL 321 Mini Monitor help Haven't heard the MBL monitors, but the big pods are nice. If there is a familial resemblance, the monitors would be worth another try with a different amp.You might try the Totem Arro. A few inches from the wall is all they need to sing. Plus, th... | |
| Best speakers at show? Merlin by far Couldn't agree more, Doug. Heard them at CES '01 and was blown away.Gimme an Ice Blue set. Gorgeous. | |
| Jumping into SE tube amps. Suggestions? Speakers: Alon Lotus SE. Available with standard (8?) ohm or higher (16?) ohm woofer. With the high impedence, they are designed for low output tube amps. Have not heard them yet, but if even close to other Alon's, they should be contenders. I've ... | |
| Monitors are falling Slingshot--don't know about the Aerius as I don't own them. However, I can say the SL3 is more stable than it's tall figure would imply. The weight is on the bottom (like many of us) so they are not easily tipped.Maybe some Blu-Tak under the "slid... | |
| Monitors are falling Slingshot, you echo the thoughts of what I suspect to be many expecting audiophiles. When my daughter was on the way a couple of years ago, I had already experienced the wrath of my nephew. It went something like this: Stand 6 inches from Apogee r... | |
| ElectrostatsPlaner/Ribbon s Vs Cone driv Jim, I appreciate the offer. You own a terrific system, and what a pedigree! Regarding Comchenry's dynamics question, I don't know which speaker would be best. My gut tells me that the dynamic drivers may have the edge. Certainly in terms of loudn... | |
| ElectrostatsPlaner/Ribbon s Vs Cone driv Comchenry, you ask about the differences between Apogees and Maggies. That's a comparison best made by you. There are differences, and even though I own Apogees, there are things I prefer about Maggies. This hobby of ours really boils down to what... | |
| ElectrostatsPlaner/Ribbon s Vs Cone driv Good question, Comchenry. Apogee is out of busines. However, their products have a good life-span in my experience. Plus, being out of business, their products are underpriced in the used market. If you do need repairs, there are two people making... | |
| ElectrostatsPlaner/Ribbon s Vs Cone driv BTW, Jim, why did you switch from Apogee to ML? Curious. | |
| ElectrostatsPlaner/Ribbon s Vs Cone driv Jim, I made the same switch from Apogees to MLogans! I wish I had the room (and $) to go for the CLS/SW800 combo you have--man, am I one jealous cat! I heard your combo in the early 90's at a HiFi show, and it was fantastic. Now I run SL3s and lik... | |
| ElectrostatsPlaner/Ribbon s Vs Cone driv "...I am trying to determine if there is a smallish planer design..."--don't know about you, but in my book the Maggie 1.6 is not "smallish". More, "tallish" and "thinnish". To find smaller speakers with planar drivers may be a bit of a trick. Sma... | |
