Sorry, I haven’t been active in awhile. My speaker cables are: http://www.knukonceptz.com/home-theater/speaker-wire/krux-speaker-wire/sp/krux-kable-interlaced-braid-3d-copper-8-gauge-speaker-wire They sell this as wire, not finished cables. You can see it in the photos. Sound good to me, and...

The P5/A21 is an awesome match for Martin Logan speakers! The A21 has more than enough clean power to drive the Classic ESL9s, it’s a perfect match! The larger M/Ls all use internal class D amps to drive the lower mid range and bass speakers. Because the lower mid range speakers reach up to...

Welcome dnanstad! Nice to see someone Else from Ohio. We’re up around Cleveland. I couldn’t agree more with GW1800, I had a Parasound Halo Integrated (HINT) powering my ESLs and they played beautifully together. And for $2,500 you get pre, amp, and DAC in one package! Hard to beat.

Hi Paul, sorry I just saw your post and request for help with a ARC problem. Have you seen the thread on Room correction in the main forum list. It’s a stickey. Hope it may help.

Hello Rolf, welcome! What’s wrong with your speaker?

Welcome! Nice equipment, Hope you post a photo of your system in ‘members systems’. Always nice to see other systems.

My home theater is in a different room. My listening room is set up for music only. I prefer the sealed subs for music. I think they sound 'tighter' and more 'musical'. BUT they will not move the amount of air required for explosions and other special effects in movies. If I were setting up...

Hi tsmooth - Yes, I would buy them again in a heartbeat. I have had other setups in the past: with my B&W 805s I had a Sunfire for many years. It filled in the lowest octave nicely, but the room had a lot of standing wave problems (one spot booming base, one foot away no base at all). The 2...

SO...update to the system. My daughter showed an interest in the B&W 805s so I figured she would need the HINT to power them! Enter the A21 and P5. The upgrade ‘bug’ is insidious! I think she’s caught it too; she already bought a new turntable. And so it goes...

So, the panels started off at about a 5 degree angle. I couldn't get them completely vertical by adjusting the feet. Could get them to 1.5 degrees; the locations were locked in and the sound was very crisp, but depth was gone. The soundstage was 2 dimensional and lifeless, and the perspective...

Thanks again everyone, for the comments and recommendations! It’s nice to have other enthusiasts lending tips and suggestions instead of having to ‘go it alone’. Another set of eyes is always welcome! Brad – Dave’s suggestion about changing the panel angle is something that hadn’t occurred to...

Hi guys, thanks for the comments. Michael – Hi, yes, we love the Halo Integrated, it is a fabulous amp (in sheep’s clothing). We have been using its DAC; it’s very good. But the new Oppo DAC/streamer has ESS’s new flagship DAC (Sabre ES9038PRO). We think it sounds a little better than the...

Congratulations on your upgrade. Isn’t it amazing that a small increase in the panel size makes such a big difference in performance.

Thanks for the welcome Dave. Brutal cold here, but not too much snow; just west of the snow belt (Cleveland to Buffalo). BTW I followed your link. You have a beautiful system, wow! South Eastern Pa? Near Philly? I grew up in South Jersey, (a million years ago). Need to get back one of...
