| Martin Logan Owners...Why should I? ML speakers are incredibly placement sensitive. Any side by side comparison is likely to be highly flawed. When you find the magic place for your ML's the sound stage gets wide and deep and female vocalists/piano will blow you away. In a room your... | |
| Does a non-audiophile have to calibrate? An "audiophile" by definition is someone (anyone) who is an enthusiast for high fidelity sound. Period. One could be partially deaf and be an audiophile. I never ask a visitor "did you hear that?". Most people take their music on face value and if... | |
| Martin Logans and Smokers Yes, this can be a problem. The panels will attract everything that's in the air. Pollen/dust/smoke. You name it. But if you unplug them overnight (or longer) once every six months and vacuum them with the strongest shop vac you can find, they wil... | |
| Tweeters facing in or out ? This is a no brainer.It's your room and your ears. Keep solo vocals focused in the center. The speakers disappear. You'll find you can do this with either configuration. Then you have to decide if tweeters on the inside fit your taste for a more "... | |
| The best way to isolate my subs from the floor? I have a similar problem. I like the superball experiment.But racquet balls? Geez. Who needs a flat tire in the middle of a movie? | |
| Used M.Logans-What to look for? You don't need to "look" for anything. Nor can you tell about the condition of drivers of any speaker by looking. Trust your ears/take them home to listen with YOUR electronics (very important) and you'll know if you're a stat guy or not. I obviou... | |
| Used M.Logans-What to look for? Be aware that these are 4 ohm speakers that dip below 2 ohms at 20k. You need a good amp that's power is rated at nearly double the 4 ohm load as it is for 8 ohms.The younger the panels, the better.Dust, smoke, humidity and pollen are a factor. I ... | |
| Subs with balanced inputs? Martin Logan Descent has XLR as well. Wish I could afford one. | |
| Surround processor recommendations Just curious. Which Anthem and what was wrong with it? I have the AVM 2 and it's been trouble free. | |
| Any surround better than none at all? I'd bet you could find a used ML Cinema near your budget. That way you're matched up front. Position and calibrate any ol' rears and you're good to go until you can spring for ML rears. | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? My two cents worth and I'm new at this.I got the bug a couple years ago and bought a pair of ML Aerius i's and powered them with a decent 10 year old Denon integrated amp. Serious upgrade for me but I knew the Denon wasn't doing justice to the ML'... | |
| whatz up with hi-end speakers near walls? I have had a pair og ML Aeriusi's for two years and am still looking for the magic. Tough room. LF has a rear wall and a side wall. RF has a partial rear wall(doorway) and no side wall.Everytime time I think I've got it right, the next CD says I w... | |
