| Martin Logan panel disassembly? Thanks, no luck on the ML forum.I'm aware of keeping the panel clean, and have been doing so. This is just for the woofer area. The grill assembly/stat is 1 panel, so it has to be removed for proper cleaning. No vacuum/brush will get in there with... | |
| power consumption of total components Does anyone look at their power consumption report?I'd be interested to hear reports from tube based system owners. We're the ones who have the poor efficiency, power sucking concerns.At least for me, comparing days when the system isn't used and ... | |
