| Looks vs. Performance - How would you mix and match? @millercarbon...nice! | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers I have had a vintage system in my bedroom since it was not a vintage system. I have run lots of different (some new at the time) vintage speakers thru it, Advent, Infinity, AR, Klipsch, ADS, etc. My favorite, and still in that system are ADS aft... | |
| Thinking of upgrading to ML ESL 11 or 13a. Thoughts? Yes my SO did not even immediately recognize that I had swapped the Montis for the Ethos. They are bigger in every dimension, but the difference is somewhat subtle. The new Masterpiece series is noticably larger in the bass cabinet. And yes the... | |
| Thinking of upgrading to ML ESL 11 or 13a. Thoughts? Been there exactly. Started out with ethos and upgraded to montis when the new line came out. Quite a big improvement for me. If you can swing the 13a, I think the bigger panel would be nice. I have heard them but not in a good room. A lot wol... | |
| How Good Is Audio Quality When Using An Amp's Bluetooth Connection I have a bluetooth adapter for both headphones and my main system. I find the sound to be noticeably inferior in both cases. I would compare it to the difference between redbook CD and mp3. It is not unlistenable, but it is easy to tell the dif... | |
| martin logan speakers My personal opinion is ML does not pair well with tube power amplifiers as the panel is a capacitive load. Mac SS power I'm sure would work well, especially with a tube pre. | |
| Quad 2912 vs Martin Logan ESL 11a I own the previous model, ML Montis, also with 11 inch panels. I am very happy with the sound. When I was auditioning, I was very much unimpressed with MLs lower end offerings. Would love at some point to get the 13a's. | |
| Hard Reading - Suggestions from a speaker maker Erik,I've been following Troels post for years. As he would say: "Nothing new under the sun." | |
| Music server with two outputs, considering Lumin D2 and Mytek Brooklyn Bridge What I would consider is XLR to your BHK pre, that pre has multiple outputs. That is how I accomplish the same thing. | |
| Thoughts on mating ML ESL 11 A's to a butler TDB 2250 hybrid amp I would personally steer away from tube amplifiers with ML. While I'm sure those Manley monos are very nice, they explicitly state the optimum speaker impedance is 5 ohm and the output impedance is 0.538 ohm. The ML panels are very capacitive an... | |
| Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel I had a two channel system with Magnepan MG12s I added a single REL sub and you could most certainly hear the difference. Of course the MG12s don't have much below about 45 Hz, so in my opinion a sub was mandatory. It took me awhile to get that... | |
| Parasound service problems Just to add my experience, a while back my P3 preamp failed. Parasound replaced it with a new unit. The new one ran with no issues for several years before I retired it. | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Erik,Is it possible to show your finished cable? | |
| Carver M1.5t vs. Krell or ML Off topic, but what year is your 911? | |
| Yamaha integrated amp as3000 vs Pass integrated I owned a Yamaha integrated back in the day and a receiver as well. The receiver was just ok, but the integrated was quite nice, including the overall build quality. I have not seen the new AS3000, but from the pictures it looks quite stunning. ... |
