Thank you all for your replys! I will do some auditioning and will keep the cables equal length! Thanks! -Mikko

Hello, Having moved to new house, my speaker cables are not long enough so I need to buy new ones. I have some questions that I would appreciate to have your comments of: 1. Cable thickness: ML Source manual says that: "Under no circumstance should a wire of gauge higher (thinner) than #16 be...

Hi lpaudio2, I am not sure if I got your point; do you mean that it might be possible to combine the ECI3 amp with another power amp? Or do you propose to use the ECI3 as a pre-amp?

And here is the reply from Per Abrahamsen (the ECI 3 designer): Hi Mikko, From what you are saying I believe that the amplifier gets too hot, and a protection circuitry shuts down the amplifier. Normally the heat is no problem, but if you have the same temperature as we have the these days it...

I have been trying to get answers still to this problem and confirmation from both the Electrocompaniet and Abrahamsen (http://www.abrahamsenaudio.com). It was Mr. Per Abrahamsen that designed the Classic line for EC but then left the company and started his own business, so I wanted to hear...

Tosh, I turned to volume down maybe after 10 seconds. Then I unplugged the power cable from speaker for few seconds, then replugged and heard the sound was still distorted. I would say this perhaps took perhaps 30-40 seconds, roughly. After that I switched off and on again the amp (and also...

Hi again, I received a reply from Electrocompaniet. One thing that they proposed as a cause for this problem is the dust in the panel: "maybe there was some dust on the panel that gave a flashover and this was the electric click you realised." Could the dust cause this kind of problem? I have...

Thanks for your reply, Jonathan! ECI-3 has a pre-out (both balanced and single ended), which I've planned to utilize for sub. If I the pre-out is used for sub, would I still need to same volume levels for the speakers, so that the amp would still work as much as now for driving the speakers? I...

JonFo, what you are saying seems to make sense. Perhaps there be that kind of functionality, which cuts the power if it gets too hot. Altough I thought that it would "mute" the speaker completely, as there was still quiet and distorted sound coming from speaker. Actually quite similar to the...

That is something that I should have done first but it didn't come to my mind, unfortunately. After un-plugging and re-plugging everything the problem disappeared and hasn't happened again yet.

Hello, I was enjoying a good listening session at Saturday night. During the track 3 on Pink Floyd - The Wall, disc 1, I heard a "pop", like an electric click, sound from left speaker and after that the sound from the panel was completely distorted, even on very small volume. The volume lever...

Thanks again for your comments! Looks like we can move in on week 28 so there is still some time to do planning. I will try that alcove thing to see how much problems the window glass is causing and as a second option the wall on the left side. I will keep you posted!

Thank you, Satch! -Mikko

Thank you, Satch! I have been a silent reader of the forum for a year and thought that I'd "officially" introduce myself in new member forum as soon as I get my permanent place and can set up my system. If I would put the speakers by the window, I have two issues on my mind; 1. Does it cause...

Thanks for the replys! My apologies for not being clear enough. I used Paint to modify the layout pic a little bit. I put some measures of the room there as well. I circled the open space (kithen and living room) and separated them with red line. The bottom part is the living room part where I...
