Do panels age? Very good question. I got new ones for my Monolith IIIs back in 2006 along with new power supplies and I'm using a Krell KBX balanced crossover. I had a problem with my system's sound and was 100% certain that it was due to my panels. So, I ordered new ones early this year...

Hello all. Haven't been here for awhile. However, I own a pair of Monolith III speakers with the Martin Logan electronic crossover. However, the crossover is a single ended device. I am wondering did Martin Logan offer an electronic crossover in balanced form? If not what other electronic...

Make sure in your comparisons you are looking at apples to apples. If you have a 50 wpc 2 channel amp and you want mono blocks, then two 50 wpc mono block amps would be basically the same if say, they were the same specs and quality as long as the original amp had two power supplies, basically...

Thanks for the advice and assessment. I am auditioning a Demo model REF 3 now and I have just finished burning in my new tubes in my SP 11. in some cases, it is really difficult to hear differences and in others the stage is more open, lows are tighter and smoother and vocals are real. The...

Stesom; What made you decide to go from the Audio Research LS 26 to the Ref 3? Was something missing in your system's sound or presentation? I was told that the LS 26 was slightly below the Ref 3 in sound but not much. Well, I have an AR SP 11 and have been desiring a pre-amp at or better...

Why do Martin Logans have such Lousy resale value Well, I have no problem being raked over the coals by people that really want a target but are not willing to really read what I wrote and understand my intention. I own a pair of Monolith IIIPs. I also owned a pair of the last version of the...

Why do martin logans have such lousy resale value and interest? Well first, I am not new to this site. I have been a member for some time and went away for a while to handle personal business. Apparantly, when you are away for a while they wipe your file. Second, I don't believe that I was...

Why do ML's have such Lousy resale value and interest? You also have to understand that when manufacturers keep changing their products every few years that puts a definite lack of confidence in the stability and value of any product. Because reviewers rarely review older products (even if...

Audio Research VTM Monoblocks Hello; I have been away for awhile, but I am back. I own a pair of VTM 120 Monoblocks and a pair of Monolith IIIPs. I use the VTM 120s for the upper panels and a Mark Levinson ML3 monster amp for the lower drivers. The VTM's don't have what it take to drive the...
