| ML reQuest/ SL3 Owners: Seeking Advice I have owned the Aerius (still do) - the Quest Z and the SL 3 - I now have the Odysseys which seem more balanced -it is hard to beat ML's in the price range for speakers that sound good at all volume levels and still fill the room when you stand u... | |
| Sony ES777 SACD vs EMC-1 I think that SACD is very good but so limited in selections and the Sony as good as it is on regular CD's does not do what the Electrocompaniet can do and that is even closer to the good SACD sound on a good SACD disc. As Mark Levinson says some o... | |
| Sony ES777 SACD vs EMC-1 I sold my Sony ES777 to buy the EC-1 and have not been sorry-I picked up one of Sony's 5 disc SACD units to have that capability. | |
| Best Tube Amp under 5K I went through the Rogues to the EAR 534 and now have the Mcintosh 2102 - it is great - the 534 is great too and very much low maintenance - The retails on bothe of these are 3800 for the balanced EAR in chrome to 6k for the Mcintosh . Both can b... | |
| 100 tube watts=200 ss watts? Bigboy - You are right on in thinking - the guys at Martin Logan told me that to push my Odysseys I would need 200wpc solid state or 100-125 in tube power. | |

| Where s the bass? Try the Mcintosh bass eq - it is only 75-99 from Audioclassics so if you do not like it than it is not a bad resale - it will do the job for you - you decide if it degrades or not. So will the Legacy Steradian used with the Whisper - it has balanc... | |
| Martin Logan: They finally did it Every speaker with a crossover involved and multiple drivers has a continuity problem. I have a pair of ML Odysseys and a pair of Eggleston Andras in two different systems. They both deliver awesome sound but not in a totally seamless way. Anytime... | |

| Most emotionally involving cables? The cable thing goes on - I changed everything to Alpha Core Micro Purl interconnects and speaker cable several months ago and really just to say that it might balance the sound and bring it to me. Did it - I tell myself yes because I listen to th... | |
| Electrostatic positioning 1A Soundlab makes an acoustical device called the Sallie for just such situations - check their website and call to ask more specifics - they helped my image on some ML and Quad 989's. They are not cheap 975 or so per pair but it beat changing positi... | |
| Best value speakers available The Quad 989 or even the ML CLS - both full range electrostats - the 989 is the clear winner but twice the price. The maggies are good too - so are the ML Prodigy and Odyssey ( 10k / 6k retail. A lot of great choices at this level. If you can pull... |
