Advice on replacing 12 in woofer in Martin Logan Monolith III's
I don’t like over stuffing a box, (unless your box is too large) it actually raises QTC by limiting air flow, the woofer acts as though it is in a smaller cavity. Neville Thiel rip, said the opposite to me, it increases the apparent box size as s...

just ran curves on the SV12 in 3 cu ft sealed.... It'll be 3db down @ about 31 hz with a qtc of .79 I can't be sure about the 3cu ft as I didn't save it, I think with a heavily stuffed ML box that came down to around 20-25hz and around .6 which...

The MMS of the 30W/4558T00 is the moving mass, it’s some 36g higher/heavier than the SV-12 which says to me it’s not going to be as good at 130hz and 1 octave above, fine for below 80hz but the Monolith panels won’t take to that low frequency too ...

Even though the post was a year ago My friend contacted him only 3 mts ago, still had them.Cheers George 
Meridian 508 CD repair?
I suggest to clean a lens with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) first. In majority of cases proper lens cleaning solves the problem.  Try this, but if it's still no good, it's new laser time CDM12.5 / VAM1205cheap enough, and if your just a little mecha...

you must vent or port your box with this woofer The Monolith I was ported and the bass couldn’t keep up with the speed of the esl, that why with the II and the III they went sealed, tighter faster except they used that junk cheap driver, I posted... 
How many CaryAudio techs does it take to replace a lightbulb in a CAD-211FE?
This morning, they suggested that I ship the amp back to them. They are bad to deal with, I’m in Australia and had an older CDP in for repair, as the main board was double sided and was hard to fault find, so I needed a service manual or at leas...

You'll have to find what the distortion is like at 150hz and one octave above 300hz to see if as good as the SV12's stevepa, why not get in touch with the guy how's got the SV12's in the above link.Cheers George 
Why Single-Ended?
Also why do reviewers not "call out" the equipment manufacturers, with "fake" balanced connections? Many amps, preamps, and sources have fake balanced inputs and outputs In that they just put in an extra opamp in the signal path to create a balan...

SLS 830669 FR too high for me.I was told by a mate here in Australia who also wanted them for his Monoliths after he heard mine, that this guy still had the SV12's but he wouldn't ship to Australia.http://www.highdefjunkies.com/showthread.php?t...

ScanSpeak Discovery 30W/4558T This is better 89db, but investigate the distortion at 150hz and 1 octave above (300hz) compared to the SV12.Cheers George

Peerless 835017 I think I remember looking at this, but remember the the distortion was better at 150hz on the SV-12. But the main thing for memory that turned me off it was that it’s only 83db where the SV12 was 89db and the ML panels are als... 
Why Single-Ended?
Just to mention if I'm correct, seeing no one has.  A totally Single Ended design doesn't have a Phase Splitter (driver) tube, as Push Pull ones have.Cheers George

This guy had a pair for sale that no one picked up on, just "maybe" he still has them.  http://www.highdefjunkies.com/showthread.php?t=14425&s=2374d39826a05548a2cfbdafd2d0c666&p=354307&viewfull=1#post354307 Cheers George

ACI made a passive sub kit called "ACI Titan" that used the SV12 many were sold, I believe through Madisound, maybe look for a used pair of these for sale.Cheers George
