Done a modification to your Logans? How about a room treatment? Share tweaks to your system here!
Hello everyone, I went through the process of Cleaning my Martin Logan Quest Stators in the shower. I wrote the process down and created a PDF for everyone. Hope this helps those interested in doing the same. Cheers
The QUEST to be different ……A Complete Rebuild of the Quest Loudspeaker This is the Quest speakers in my room taken this past DEC at the Michigan get together. Some of the things that made me do this were responses from comments made by my member friends. Well after Some research...
Hi all,Thanks very much for a lot of info & ideas here. Actually I have mod the HT power supply for my aerius, increasing its ht voltage from originally around 2800 volt to now 4800 volt. The result was fantastic that the loudness, details & clarity inprove & its allmost one year now without any...
I bought one of these after discovering the $600 disk edge cutter. I thought I would try something low cost with little to loose. So I bought one of these cd mats. I went to http://herbiesaudiolab.home.att.net/cdmat.htm and bought the grungebuster. It's about $24 shipped to your door. Like I...
I used Jims flashlight method with significant success with my Summits a while back but kind of stumbled across a similar/different method last night. Kind of went like this: Relaxing on the couch & transitioning between Merle Haggards greatest hits and Metallica's Garage Days Revisited when I...
After 6 months of Summit ownership, following the advice of others, I started playing around with the tilt (aka "rake") of the Summits. At least in MY room, tilting them slightly more FORWARD (almost vertical) really brightened the sound, and moved the entire image another foot forward. I like...
As I have already described about the dampers on the surface of the ML panels in the posts of my system ＃166, I've got amazing progress with those dampers as I expected. The reasons why I could get much clearer sound stage with these dampers seemed to be as follows: * The vibration of the ML...
I read about this tweak on the Audio Asylum site. So I though I give it a try as it is very quick and easy. I have good results on my Aeons. If your system is biwired try linking both ground wires together. it worked for me, greater definition more defined sound stage better placement of...
by placing a piece of tape across the bass section of your older style Martin Logan. Pictured is my past SL3 speaker which the cats would use the bass section as a starting pad to craw up the panels. My newer Odyssey bass section is slanted so this is not needed. see the varmits: Miss Spy...
To achieve maximum focus and clarity from the CLS, fit long spikes at the front of the speaker and a short one for the rear. This in effect makes the speaker tilt backwards a bit. Make sure you point the very middle/centre of the panel directly at your ears for the optimal effect (CLS's must also...
This might be the most significant repair that can be done to those weak sounding panels other than purchasing new elements. We can assume that the warranty has also run out by this time and you are left with no other options. There is no need to disassemble the speakers for this to work. I...
Will, I made my own jumpers. I used 10AWG multi-stranded OFC cable and 24k gold plated spades. What do you think? I think much better then those stamped sheet metal ones that came with the speakers. :)
For the ultimate mega spikes for your Martin Logan speakers you can either buy the official spikes from ML for around $100, or buy ones that are just as good for less than a quarter of that price from WWW.OREGONDV.COM
In between vacuuming your speakers, wipe your ML's with a used sheet of Bounce Dryer sheets to keep dust from resettling. It works.
I would love to take credit for this tweak but I can't. I found thia on AA I think and so here it is. This is for those who are using their CD player w/o an external Dac or with a DAC using an optical output only. The unused and unterminated coax output causes reflections of the high frequency...
I was reading through a previous thread about tweaks to the Aerius and wanted to throw my 2 cents in. I just did the same few mods on my speakers but with a slightly different approach. First, I bypassed the Barrier-strip connection to the panel which everyone does. Nothing bad can possibly come...
reQuest Crossover capacitor upgrade Sent in by James Carroll on December 11, 2003 Overview Based on my previous experience upgrading the crossover capacitors of several other speakers, I decided that it would be a good project to pursue on the Martin Logan Requests I purchased recently. However,...
Last night I was cleaning some of our rings/jewelry with this product. The small and inexpensive disposable cloths remove oxidation and goo from jewelry, leaving them bright and shiny. I thought I might try the product on my cable ends, and sure enough...lots of tarnish and oxidation was...
Have a little contribution to the forum: I have both had the CLS I original with old and new strators, and the last 10 or so years I have had the CLS IIz. I have always enjoyed the way they communicate the music compared to other speakers. Still I have never gotten quite the slam in the bass that...
I was purusing through the adds @ AudioGon when I remembered a couple small "tweaks" I did to my beloved but now gone ReQuests, that I thought I would pass on to those parties interested. 1st - I mounted a C-10 Tekna Sonic vibration absorber to that nice flat open panel on the back of the woofer...
I have added aftermarket cushioning to my Hi-Fi equipment support to absorb any unwanted system vibrations. Firstly you need to buy a few squash balls and cut them in half. Next, you will notice that each individual wooden or glass shelf resting on your hi-fi rack can be lifted off. Place each...
