There are a number of designer material style hexagonal sound treatment panels you can get. They come in various sizes, colors, and some even have designs that make them look like marble etc. There also companies who will sell you acoustical panels that have paintings on them, such as movie...

ym = Year/Month 2 letter product code with year/month. EG my Matinee was manufactured in December of 2010. Correct, "Grotto I" typo on my part. Same applies for my Grotto. 2 letter product code, then Year/Month letter designators. All of my ML speakers were purchased within a 4 month...

Some additions from my personal collection: MA = Matinee Format MAym nnn BI (i not L)= Grotti I Format GIym nnn I'll try to get the format for my Sources soon.

Nope, it was just a blown fuse. My wife had unplugged the unit without turning it to standby mode first. Apparently unplugging the Grotto i while the amp is powered up will cause the fuse to blow in the unit. I was able to reproduce the cause.

Page 12: 2-Channel Mode with 2-Channel Output. Page 14: Shows the plug, and the fuse, but it does not include any language about how to open the fused receptacle, which is what I was asking for help with... But, then again you linked the manual for the Grotto, and not the Grotto i which uses a...

So, pulled my Grotto out of the box after moving it. It's not powering up. (Yay!) As much as I would love to check the fuse, I'm not entirely sure how to open the stupid fuse panel. I can't tell if it needs to be forced open with a screwdriver or a pry tool, or just given a stern look so it...

I honestly believe they will go out of stock before they come down further in price. The two Magnolia locations near me (Only ML dealers within 3 hours drive... maybe 5 if the pass is snowed in.) Well, they're not only out of stock, but they've sold their floor models. I picked mine up for...

The Motif is pretty much exactly the same as the Matinee, only with slightly upgraded drivers, all metal grills, and a better mounting bracket... They literally have the same cabinet. It sounds like you probably need to either go with the Stage, or adjust the output level of your center...

You may want to hold out for the Electro Motions now that the Sources are discontinued. However, that may well save you some money on the Sources. I own them, they're great for home theater, but you're going to have to bite the bullet if you want a matching center channel and pony up for the...

ML has reversed this policy and are now servicing older equipment once more.

Yeah, apparently the sarcasm wasn't quite thick enough for that one... I just didn't want to gum up anyone's machine when they hit that post and it came oozing off the screen. ...But, I appreciate the backup. Even if I fear no man who fails to use punctuation while calling me a troll...

I think the idea is to support your customers, encourage them to upgrade, but support their hardware at a profit either way while gaining new customers and expanding your sales model. If I could turn around in Dec and trade in my Sources for 70% of purchase price to upgrade, I'd be pretty darn...

Justin, I can't believe you had the gall to come here and tell us that ML had made a mistake, and that you were continuing to support legacy products! How dare you even have the nerve to post here ever again! This is exactly the kind of customer service that a company the caliber of Martin...

Currently we're at about 50/50 HT and Music usage. I don't expect HT to ever drop below 40%... The unfortunate part is that even the used (10 year old models) ESL centers are going for $600+ Normally I wouldn't really fret the extra cash for the center, but I'm in the middle of buying a...

Actually, they do. One of my friends is a buyer at an exotic cars junkyard in Florida. They do swift business there. Sometimes a car has been parted and stripped before the blood on the upholstery has even dried.
