I have a 4.05 kW system installed and I have not noticed any difference in my sound during the day vs night. As I understand it and from my own observations, the power from the array has to match and sync with the grid, quirks and all. If your grid supply is fluctuating voltage wise, so will...

Updates to my system. Well, has been a while since I've visited the site. A lot has changed since my original post, but I'll stick to just the changes to system #321. Back when I started this project, I started with the audio. My ears are better than my eyes. :) However, I fully planned on...

I bought a pair of Prefaces that I had held off buying for almost 7 months. I am glad I finally did. Trust your ears as you said. I would love to buy the high end ML electrostatic panel, but it's not in the budget just yet. So, the ATF based drivers bring me as close to it as I can get for...

Going for the Sqeezebox One major reason is the support for more formats, especially the lossless codecs. Thanks to all for the feedback.

After some consideration, now leaning towards a used pair of Spires and use the difference saved to buy the ESL Amp over the cost of just the Summit X. Appreciate you pointing them out. I saw them listed, but for some reason didn't really look at them.

That actually is a pretty significant factor to take into consideration. I was pretty much set on the Sqeezebox until I had the hair brain idea about the PS3 just before I posted the question. Thanks for pointing that out.

So here is my quandary: I have my MLs in the family room and want to add functionality like the Logitech Squeezebox offers. However, being that the Squeezebox Duet cost $399 MSRP and a PS3 can be had for the same price which one would be better? Some additional background info: Downstairs...

It's alive! We picked him up one year at a county fair. Local puppeteer made him and boy does he eat! Love the way he responds for a simple string puppet. One things for sure, all our dogs and cats think he's the alpha. I think our bird even pays respects. :)

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome and great tips. I'm planning on heading to a dealer to audition some ESL series speakers to help me figure out where I want to head. I think I better wait at least 6 months before I do anything, or at least make sure all the family ducks are in order. :)

agladstone, Not sure if you saw your message was moved and has responses over here: http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9379

Thank you to you and all who have been so welcoming. I hope to inspire others with similar ML setups. I feel simple against the systems I see posted here; however, I also see what is possible down the road. In time I'll be able to update this system and build out my 2nd system downstairs. Ah...

Last shot: In the background you can see sheet music on the top of my keyboard. I'm seriously thinking about running a cable to the receiver and hooking it up to the MLs. :D

Shot 2 of room depiction: I should note that behind all the stuff we placed on those racks in the background is about 1/2 of our DVD collection. Also, the entire bottom shelf is where my wife's LP collection is. The racks served well storing all the items we needed to get away from a newborn.

And 3 shots to depict the room they sit in. I guess if anything I got lucky with the lack of full side walls very close to the sides of the speakers.

Note: I know that the center channel is not perfectly centered with the front mains (off axis by 5 inches) but it is centered with the wall which was a factor I could not coax out of my lovely wife. However, the mains are centered on my main listening spot and if I move just a bit over then I'm...
