Bit late for April 1st jokes, Bob!

Anthem might not be for everyone, tho' with terms in the presentation like "infinitely listenable to", it seems to come in pretty heavily as a positive Some of the points are well-founded: Fan noise: Has been addressed with a firmware update about 10-12 months back. Switching between HDMI Ports...

Yeah, I actually started with my 100lb slabs on my SL3s and Aerius... I think it was the SL3s that had 3 spike receptacles for just the reason you mention, @Fidji99.

Hiya. Second time I'm saying this is as many days, but you might look at the Anthem MRX 540 or MRX 740. Anthem is a sister company to ML, and the ARC ("Anthem Room Correction") is actually from them. The MRX receivers feature the complete ARC capabilities, and would help with your "irregular"...

@leifsundstrup - Hi! I assume you're only looking at a 2-channel (music) system? If not, I might suggest looking at a decent "1-box-stop", with something like an Anthem MRX 540 or 740. Anthem is a sister company of ML, and incorporate the more full-featured versions of ARC that ML uses on the...

I am sure some of our members can get into the "finite element analysis" that might apply here, but: For a concrete floor, I would use spikes and drive them through the carpet/pad to the slab. Same for equipment rack feet, etc. Reason is, you will not get (audibly) noticeable resonances in a...

"On their way out" might mean the panels require washing (yeah, "washing"... there is a dedicated thread to it here, and mentioned all over the place), or, worst case, replacement. Before considering that, do you know if your Quest panels have already been replaced? You can look up the serial...

The subject line is a terribly subjective call... some folks love the sound of tubes, some don't. What IS pretty well established here is that the Sanders Magtech (even MORE so than the "ESL" amp) is ideally suited to driving ESLs, and it is unlikely you will find another amp that is more...

I did some searching a while back to find out more about the Devialet amps. Seems they might not be the best fit for low-imedence swings from the ESLs. @Klaus Andersen - have you used them with ML ESLs? Maybe things have changed in the last year or two?

I'd put them in my bedroom! Some mood lighting behind the panels, and you're done!

Looks like the cable has slipped out of the banana-style connector, that is plugged into the upper Red terminal. At a rough guess, you were using the screw-down portion of the terminals to "jump" the connections, and then using speaker cables terminated with Banana plugs to deliver signal from...

First port-of-caall would be dealer where you bought the STR. If that's not an option, Anthem support is pretty responsive. How old is the STR?

The functional design of a bass enclosure is typically built to support a very specific "tune". Some others with more brain cells than I can probably provide details in terms of octaves, dBs, etc. What I DO know is that the specifications of the woofer/driver are match with the volume of the...

I would seriously consider converting them to a Active Crossover/bi-amped scenario. There are several threads on here (one linked below). Now while I have no doubt that Martin Logan has been genuine in the pursuit of seamless integration of the hybrid ESL/Woofer designs since their inception...

Here goes my $0.02... Both a (relatively unloaded) pickup bed and a U-Haul trailer are not known for their soft rides. Somebody above suggested a mattress... not a bad idea at all. Some straps so the speakers don't leave the top of the mattress, with a little bit of compression, ad you should...
