Martin Logan Quest Z Bass - can it be fixed ?
When I get them, I'd drive them with an Onkyo M-504 I think. Maybe I'd agree somewhat with 'sterile', but I really like everything but the bass on them. Crystal clear but no 'ultra-highs' that make it fatiguing, like some other speakers I have.Are... 
Owning too many speakers
Ok, here we go - SPEAKERS ANONYMOUS.I think I have 25 pairs, all full size (some even FULLER like 2 pairs of AR9's) except 1 set of Dahlquist M903 bookshelves. 
Kappa 9 vs Martin Logan Quest Z
Ok, upper lows, mids, and highs are SUPERB. The bass is, like some write/say, muddy. Can that be fixed ? Maybe I should start a different thread ? I have to admit, I have never used a sub before, so I'm not sure how they work... 
Kappa 9 vs Martin Logan Quest Z
Well, I have to admit, I have Vandy 2C's and 3's, no 2Ce's though they are available locally. I'm going to hear the ML's today...I wonder if the muddy-bass issue will show up for me...I'm not real big on a lot of bass, but I think I know muddy whe...

Is this thread still 'alive' ? Been almost 5 years, not sure the members are still with AG...If so, I could post quite a list :) 
Kappa 9 vs Martin Logan Quest Z
I think I've ruled the K9s out, if at least only because I have other 'worthy' box speakers like Infinity Crescendo 3009's, Vandersteens, RTA15TL;s, NS-500M's, AR9s, 240Ti's, L100's (4 sale here) etc etc...and I also have SMGa's and MGIIa's...I'm ... 
Kappa 9 vs Martin Logan Quest Z
Thx for all the advice, I read it all and will read more too when/if any more appear here...So (Thesoundhouse) what about a K8 and Quest Z matchup ?I'm tending to go outside the box this time, but we'll see. I've had Magnepan MGI (they had a 'nasa...

That's a great idea but I try to buy local if at all possible...no more dealing with damaged stuff... 
B&W 802 Series 80 Speaker ID Help
Agreed, turns out they are Series 80 802's, before the Matrix if I'm interpreting what I read somewhat correctly. Thx for the help. I have not gone to hear them as of yet. 
CDPs That Have Volume Control +Variable Output
Thx for all the responses...the thread is sure to generate opinions as there are lots of ways to listen to music, as always :)I don't need blue ray, manta ray, sacd or whatever...if anything, cds are my way to be lazy when not spinning vinyl.And i... 
CDPs That Have Volume Control +Variable Output
Correct me if needed, but I think the Adcom's vol control are analog right ?It makes me wonder, how a preamp can make it sound better...isn't less caps/resistros/transistors better ?
