| Martin Logan Classic 9 vs. Impression 11A - sound impressions and burn in question Oh one more thing. If there is one advantage to the less expensive Martin Logans is that the narrow panels image better than the wider ones. My little electromotion esl actually image BETTER than 11a's. The wider the panel the more diffuse imaging... | |
| Martin Logan Classic 9 vs. Impression 11A - sound impressions and burn in question I am in the same dilemma. I own a pair of electromotion esl with 2 REL 5i subs.. Like what I hear but now I want more of a good thing. Do I go to ESL 9 or 11a's. After hearing a broken in pair of 11a's and comparing to classic 9 this is my assessm... | |
| Quad ESLs - I have some questions Sound Labs are the MOST coveted loudspeaker for any electrostatic fan. You have reached heaven when you can own a pair. Lower mass diaphragm plus its the engineering of the transformer that makes a huge difference. Martin logan uses 2 transformers... | |
| Quad ESLs - I have some questions No brainer with the Sound Lab. Most everyone knows they kill Martin Logans etc. I was once convinced that dynamic drivers were the king of bass. Not so. Full range huge Sound lab electrostatic panels produce the cleanest, lowest distortion, detail... | |
| Martin Logan Classic 9 vs. Impression 11A - sound impressions and burn in question When you go up the Martin Logan line a few things happen. One, the crossover point from panel to dynamic drivers is lowered. They increase panel size so now the electrostatic panel can produce more mid bass without substantial distortion. They als... | |
| Which amp would you go with Jeff Rowland Model 1. | |
| Mark Levinson 27.5 versus modern day amps Just purchased a 23.5 last week. Whoah!!!! 30 yrs old!? No way. This amp is STILL WORLD CLASS!!!! Vocals float grainless in space. The bass is beyond comprehension. You find yourself following the backup instruments and their melody line that you ... | |
| WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5 I am so into this vintage thing now that I have heard what this old 23.5 can do. Just got done with a 3 hr listen and let me tell you I am now a Mark Levinson fanboy. If they built a amp to last 30 years and STILL sound good then this must be one... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Used Linn Ikemi. Will smoke anything mentioned on here. Used for 700 bucks. Bulletproof. | |
| WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5 I am looking for another 23.5 to purchase so I have spare parts or if this one blows and cant get fixed I have a backup. 2500 bucks is nothing nowadays for an amp. This amp is seriously good for a 30 year old design. My neighbor was intrigued with... | |
| WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5 This 30 year old LEVINSON is AMAZING!!! LEVINSON IS GOD!!! HAIL TO THE 23.5!!!! What for 2 grand new could even come close to this? I cant believe the clarity of this old amp. Vocals pop right out and are smooth with no grain. The bass is extraord... | |
| Any reason to go with anything other than Sanders Magtech for Martin Logan Summit X Magtech. 100 percent. The only amp designed to follow the crazy impedance swings and capacitive nature of an electrostatic panel. | |
| WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5 I did it. I bought it for 2 grand. Its playing now over the the Martin Logans. Thought it would be harsh with the Logans. It's not. Its lush. I knew my Logans where an open speaker but now its wall to wall soundstage. The delicacy and detail of in... | |
| Will this hold my 63 pound black beauty??!! IKEA LACK END TABLES. WILL COST YOU 10 BUCKS. THEY ARE MADE OF BALSA WOOD. RICHARD VANDERSTEEN LOVES BALSA FOR HIS MODEL 7 MIDRANGE DRIVER. | |
| Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow HELOMECH has hearing issues and should just buy a Kenwood stack from the 1990's. VANDERSTEENS take weeks maybe months to break in. Setting them up and doing critical listening after a couple hrs break in is nonsense. You didnt even get a chance t... |
