I have an XPA-2 currently, do you think I would need more juice than that?

These are the panels Dobyou think 1700 is reasonable for this?

Can you help me understand how to check for clear spars?

I currently own the vistas with an emotiva xpa-2. I found some odyessys for sale for 1700. I can't seem to find many comparisons to the two. He's thing I can doubt myself is read reviews for the theos and assume the odyessy is similar to that. Can anyone here help me understand if I would be...

That's what I'm doing currently. I'm not sure what to do wth the usp-1 at this point because I don't listen to cds. Would I hook up the preamp of the demon to the usp-1? It doesn't seem to make sense to do that. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for everyone taking the time to reply. I have officially purchased the XPA-2 by Emotiva and the USP-1. The amp has made the sound seem to fill the room much more and also boosted the bass significantly! Unfortunately, I'm trying to figure out the best way to utilize the pre amp without...

Hello fellow MLOers, I have the ML Vista and am currently powering them with a Denon 4306. I have come across an opportunity on craigslist to get 2 of the XPA-1s by Emotiva for 1500 dollars. I generally use my speakers for streaming spotify and watching movies. I'm wondering if there is...

Hi Guys, I've got Martin Logan Vistas, I set them up using the Audessey setting on my Denon 4306 and checked the dB level with a different meter. I currently have them toed in according to the ML video with the light shining on the inner third of the speaker. The sound is coming out of both...

Thanks for all of the replies! I've been offered a trade for my ML Stylos on craigslist. He's offering a carver 1.5 for the stylos. Any thoughts on this amp? Thanks

Thanks for the response. Would the denon 4306 be considered good enough or do you think I need to get a dedicated power amp?

The 400 W comes from the vista specs, how would I blow a speaker by under powering?

Hello everyone! I recently found some gently used Vistas + Audioquest Rockefeller cables (Not sure these actually effect the sound IMO) on Craigslist for 1K and decided it was time for an upgrade from the Stylos I had. I'm currently running my setup with a Denon 4306 and wanted everyone's...

Hi guys, I found some sources for 700 on craigslist and currently own the stylos. I wanted to understand if there was a large enough difference to take the plunge and buy the sources for my fronts and move the stylos to the back. I know there has been a change in the panel technology. Any...

Unfortunately these are all questions that I am interested in. The reason I'm interested is because I bought 2 stylos speakers on craigslist and I'm not sure how the previous owner treated them. Buying new panels would be much easier but I am a tinkerer as well as a college student so it'd be...

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has tried using Dupont Elvamide to restore the conductivity of their panels. I found it on ebay and it says it works perfectly but I've never heard of anyone doing this. If anyone knows where a tutorial is that would be great! Thanks!
