| Will an external soft start device limit current? I did not ask for them, the dealer is sending them at no charge. I will have to see if I even need them. He did state I should use them so I don't blow circuit breakers. Did they effect the sound in any way? | |
| VTL ST-150 MB-450 Bea told me to go with the 450s because they have the signature transformers providing a better power supply. The Summits dip to 0.6 ohms at times. Even though they are efficient they still need an amp that can put out current. | |
| What speaker to buy to start over. I had ML Ascents with a Descent sub. I loved the sound but there was a hole in the upper bass region. I suppose it was the crossover from the panels to the bass driver. I have decided to go with the Summits as I do like the ML sound. I got to go a... | |
| Tube Amp & Preamp for ML Summits? I will keep my eyes open for the Wolcotts. Atmasphere, have you tried your amps with the Summits? If so which model would get me to a higher listening level. As I stated VTL said their 150 watt ST-150 would work but not sound good at higher levels, | |
| Tube Amp & Preamp for ML Summits? The Wolcotts interest me but they don't come up used very often. | |
| Tube Amp & Preamp for ML Summits? I talked to VTL about a ST-150. They stated they have tried that amp with the Summits and recomended something with more power. Unfortunatly the Summits dip to 0.7 ohms at times. | |
| What speaker to buy to start over. I had a pair of Vandersteen 3a sig with 2 2Wq subs in a system. It was very nice but did not play rock well at all. I loved it for jazz and female vocals. I was using a Classe 400 and Audio Research LS22. I have not had the pleasure of hearing the... | |
| What speaker to buy to start over. The room size is about 17' by 25'. I listen at moderatly high listening levels. I want to spend around 7K or less. I was happy with my system but I will never keep a system too long. I love trying different systems. Yea I guess I do need therapy. | |
| Rowland "house sound"? I have Martin Logan Ascent i speakers and have tried a Bryston 4B, Bel Canto EVO 4 gn II, Nuforce 9.02 and now a set of Rowland 201s. The Rowlands just play music. The Bel Canto and Nuforce are too clinical for me. The 201s are smooth. As soon as ... | |
| Amp for Martin Logan Dennis, I am considering a move to the Vantage from the Ascent i. I still hear the hole in the upper bass with the Ascents. My friend has the Summits and they definatly do not lack in the upper bass. I know the Vantage does not have the low bass l... | |
| Amp for Martin Logan I tried the Nuforce but I didn't like the speaker terminals. I biwire with two sets of cables and there is no way to tighten two sets to the amps. I do not like the plastic threads on the posts. I was afraid to tighten them, I thought they might s... | |
| Amp for Martin Logan Bought a set of Nuforce 9.02s. I hope they make it through shipping. I think they may sound good in my system with the CAT preamp. | |
| Amp for Martin Logan Well I think I might try the Nuforce amps. Anywhere I can get a deal on one? I also have heard that the new Rowland 102 amp is out. Has anyone had a chance to listen to one yet? | |
| Amp for Martin Logan Oh Well, I'm back in the hunt. VTL arrived today UPS'ized. Box was obviously droped more than once. 5 tubes are shattered. He should have packed the tubes seperatly. The inside of the amp is filled with glass shards so I'm sending it back. I am lo... | |
| Amp for Martin Logan I decided to try the VTL ST 150. I purchased one here on audiogon. It should arrive early next week. I am hoping it will sound great. Thanks for all the suggestions. |
