    Fair value

    I am thinking of selling my ML to upgrade. What is the fair price to ask for Clarity and Fresco i? I posted on the classifieds section (Clarity) several months ago, but I didn't get much feedback. Thanks

    Motif or Matinee

    I'm interested in this, too. I currently have Clarity mains and Fresco i as center. Not very happy with the Fresco i. Would Motif or Matinee be a better choice? Which one in my case? Also consider that some day I would like to upgrade the Clarity to Vista or Spire, but don't know how soon the...

    ICEpower a good match for Clarity?

    If anyone is interested I can answer my own question. Got the SC05 and I am very pleased so far.

    Need advice on cables

    You may draw a ton of different opinions in this department. I have never spent a fortune in cables, so I can't speak for the likes of Nordost, Tara Labs or Shunyata. In my experience, AudioQuest is the best bang-for-buck.

    Is this possible?

    I have a pair of Clarity and I have read the post from "hotroady" who is doing pretty radical mods to these speakers. So I was wondering if it was possible to come up with a mod that allows for the Clarity to be bi-amped. Is this crazy?

    ICEpower a good match for Clarity?

    I am actually almost sold on Emotiva. What scares me a little is that their processor is been in the works for a while and there is no telling how good it will be. I would hate to get stuck with buggy equipment. Pioneer receiver (or even as pre) seems to be very reliable and would give the peace...

    Dublin 25, PM how much you're asking. I'll think about it. Which separates are you going with, if you don't mind me asking?

    ICEpower a good match for Clarity?

    I came to the conclusion that I should replace my beloved Rotel combo (RSX1057 + RMB1070) with a new receiver or separates, mostly to correct a lack of features and optimize sources inputs. I am looking at a Pio Elite SC-05/07 or the Emotiva UMC-1+XPA-5 combo as soon as the UMC-1 is available. I...

    Killed the NAC!

    From ML: "The NAC, or natural ambience compensation, maximizes off-axis, high-frequency dispersion, which assures listeners a perfect performance no matter where they are located in a room. A true audiophile solution, the NAC is parallel to the signal path and features a power switch to adjust...

    Killed the NAC!

    I was reading some posts just for fun, and I came across a post about the NAC feature on ML Clarity. I have to admit it never occurred to me to shut it off. In my mind it was an extra driver, so why kill it? I tried to switch it off just for curiosity, and.... :rocker: My Clarity came back to...

    Broke a screw on bracket for Fresco

    I have a Fresco i as center channel attached to the wall with the supplied bracket. As I was tightening the side screw to fix the hinge angle, the screw broke off. Do you think its fixable? I looked on ML website and sent a message but had no reply. Is there a Customer Service number I can call?

    Speaker wire for Clarity

    I'm not sure if your remark was general or in response to my post, as the Audioquest Type 4 is made with solid LGC, not stranded wire

    Room equalization

    One more vote for this :devil:

    Speaker wire for Clarity

    If anyone is interested, I went with Audioquest Type-4 preterminated cables. First of all, I was impressed with the build and packaging quality. Then, as I was skeptically not expecting much improvement over the standard Monster cables, I was in fact hugely impressed with the results! Midrange...

    Purity

    I'm with you Rich. I have the Clarity and saw the new Purity yesterday. Seems like the panel is smaller and I'm not sure about the design of the base... Have not heard them though (didn't want to), I bought my Clarity 6 mo. ago knowing a new model was on the way. I hope they don't sound much...
