Thanks again everyone for your time and your comments, I have a few things to say about some of the above and will do so later. Thanks Roberto for your posting of Tone Publication, and the review of the Montis,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. Let us not miss the advertisement paid for by Martin Logan for the...

Excellent sleepysurf. A valid point. More importantly, it is followed by the truth. Nice to talk with others who are fully aware of what you said, "I never had a chance to hear old vs. new ML designs side-by-side, so can't say whether that's a legit design improvement or just marketing hype."...

Hi Gordon, Summit's,,, nice, maybe I'll search out a pair in a year or so, maybe not. Thanks for your input. I know and understand all the benefits you stated like "built in amp with crossover options, which allow the user to fine tune the bass response in their respective rooms". For certain...

Before I begin a question I have about old vs new ML's I feel it is necessary to write a preface about where I am coming from. I was married to a beautiful Portugese woman for 30 years, when we decided to go our separate ways, because she became burdened with an environmental illness...

Thanks MPS, your time to answer me is much appreciated.

Just a few questions that I am sure most here can answer, please. My Martin Logan Requests (new panels as of 2 weeks ago) can only attract dust when they are plugged in, is this correct? I mean if unplugged they will gather dust but way way less than if plugged in? And unplugging them from...

thanks for the additional info I will now determine how I will proceed

Thanks to everyone who took the time to help me understand the issue of biamping. If my following assumptions based on everything everyone has said here and what I have read elsewhere are correct I/we can move on to my bigger question that I will post soon. Scenario 1 (Making the assumption...

Hi slowGEEZR, nice to hear others are still appreciating musicians, playing musical instruments, without the aid of modern correction, voice fixing, and all the other high tech stuff that allows video entertainers to pass themselves off as musical acts. If I can keep the cost of my device under...

Thanks Bernard, whatever decision I make I will keep your suggestion in mind.

Hi Nielsen, I am somewhat on the same page so far, as far as same using the amp goes, and i take your comment, "With a Krell 250 I wouldnt biamp at all." as a vote of confidence in the Krell, but might it not be sonically beneficial if one KSA 250 only had to deal with the woofer, 180HZ and...

Thanks Roberto, I do understand about active crossovers, but if I go that way, and go pre amp to xover, then to two amplifiers, does the existing ML xover still not get in the way of the signal?

My system consists of ML Requests, new panels new woofers and lots of internal MIT caps Cardas wiring etc, Krell KSA 250, Alchemist UK Tim Di Paravicini pre amp separate power supply, Huyuan CD player. I am amassing a vinyl collection as I save up for a table/arm/cartridge. I am considering...

Artist - Miles Davis Quintet Title - Relaxin' With Year of Release - 1956 Record Label - Prestige 7129 Genre - Jazz Every minute of this album is good from start to finish. A nice intimate recording from beginning to end. Some real nice piano work in Oleo by Red Garland. Two added bonuses, we...

WARDS WEB Excellent CHOICE! As a stereo guy, other than the older Mark Levinson recordings, I feel Time Out is of the best albums out there where we really feel the room/space the recording took place in. What an amazingly live sounding yet intimate recording. As a musician (drummer) when I...
