Thanks Jonathan, got it! Btw: my Cambridge Audio N851 has also symmetric outputs - could I just bypass the tube amp for the bass section and go directly into the Crown? The tube amp is connected via the RCA plugs of the N851...

Oh wow, this is a nice piece of woodworking, I am impressed, this is perfect work - are you giving classes? :) I will post a pic as soon as I pull it out of the garage storage - I just got myself an Arbortech Turboplane to level the bench surface (to which I wasn't nice as a boy...)

Hi Jonathan, thanks very much for your reply. I am still hoping to get the crossover board fixed now that ML supplied me with the schematics, but your option with the Audio Control will be the next one. Could I somehow split the signal only for the bass driver and let the mid/high frequencies...

Thanks very much Brad! Oh nice, I am about to start restorating my great grandfathers woodworking bench. Are you building own furniture as well?

Thanks very much - the image from Orion's nebula (Messier 42) is indeed natural color, mainly dominated by the H-alpha emission, while the Rosetta nebula is in the so called Hubble palette based on narrow band data. To be honest, I have 8 scopes and 5 astro cameras - it is somehow the same...

Thanks Kernel - I only do furniture so far, no Hifi yet - but who knows :)

Hi Jonathan, I just ran over your post on the substitution of the internal bass amp by an external system, such as the Crown XLS1002. I have a similar issue here with my Spires, the crossover board is defective and ML does not have the boards on stock anymore. I (think I) understand your...

Thanks Brad, more than happy to show your guys a couple of pics. A selection can be found here Philipp Weller's gallery Two of the most recent ones are attached :) Cheers, Philipp

Thanks for you reply - good to know that it is the crossover board, I was indeed struggling to find the exact type. In terms of potential loose wires - as I wrote above, I already exchanged the stack of the crossover board and the amp board with the one from the functional speaker and everything...

Dear all, I hope this is the right forum section: I have an issue with one of my ML Spires: the ESL panel is working, however, the bass driver remains silent (or more precisely, hums and plops in a low level noise). I have replaced the Icepower amp board with a new one, the issue remains. I...

Dear all, thanks for accepting me here in the MLO forum! I am 48 yrs old and from Bad Dürkheim, Rhineland-Palatine, Germany, where I live with my very tolerant wife (related to my expensive passions audio, astrophotography and woodworking) and our 4 shelter dogs. My audio chain consists of a...
