rkc, I'm just north of Cincy and might be willing to let you demo my CJ PV-12A preamp in your system. I use it along with a Rotel RB-1090 to drive my Ascents and/or 3.6 maggies.

Hair dryer did the trick!! Thanks all!!

I am the 2nd owner, and I know for a fact that these speakers were purchased in 2001.

C.A.P., I will give it a try!! Thanks for your input!! Sure sounds easier than fixing the delamination issue I am having with one of my 3.6 maggies. That is why they are sitting on the side line!! And if I can fix the kazoo effect on that one Ascent, or buy new panels, the maggies might be...

I warmed my system up this morning for about 20 minutes as I always do and listened to a few songs before leaving for work. Surprisingly, no kazoo effect that I could detect??? There has been other times when this problem seems to be intermittent. Any thoughts on this!!

I bought my Ascent's used about a month ago. They sounded great at first, but one of them has recently demonstrated a buzzing sound at certain frequencies or when there is a lot of musical information. I took the old shop vac out and gave them a proper cleaning....no help. So I called Martin...

Moon, That is the older version of an ASC Sub Trap. It really improved bass response.

My Depth is set at 90 phase, 0 25hz, and 6 volume. Take a look!! http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6639

Joey_V, I hope this isn't sacreligious, but here is my system with the maggies in place. I still have them, but one of them needs some attention. Once it is fixed, I will probably sell them. The room needed just a little adjustment with my traps for the Ascents. This was a real difficult room...

Thanks Mitt, I got this location for my sub from Mapleshade Audio: • Contrary to manufacturer hype, subwoofer placement is crucial. To get clean bass attacks, subwoofers must be precisely (±1") the same distance from your ear as the midrange driver. Corner placement always leads to boom. Also...

Satch, Yes, they are ASC Tube Traps and the Depth is sitting on an ASC Sub Trap. I also use fake ficus trees for diffusion and a few Sonex panels around the room to tame high end reflections. You also see some Michael Green Room Tunes along the ceiling. Thanks for the kind words.

New guy here! Hello everyone. I am a long time maggie guy having gone through several models in the maggie line (1.6 & 3.6). The maggies are great speakers, but like every speaker, they have their pros and cons. I recently picked up a pair of Ascents from a local Audiogoner. These have been...
