My set are a joy - I look forward to powering them up every chance I get! My Aeons do not work well with banana plugs - they can be inserted into the end of the binding posts similarly to much other equipment, but the holes are not deep enough for a banana plug to be inserted completely and...

Thanks for all your suggestions! It's not so much that I am trying to get this certain cable to work, it's more like "why cant I get it to work?!?!" After very careful inspection again today, I see that bananas do fit (sort of), but the hole is too shallow for the plug to fit completely...

Yes, just like your picture, except that Aeons have two sets of those per speaker (one for the panel, one for the woofer) It appears to me that many esl martin logans, especially those made around the same time ad mine had binding polsts like that.

Thanks for the link, similar ones have come in handy for some of my vintage amps with barrier strips! Anyhow i am trying to avoid work-arounds. Have i just misunderstood "5-way" binding post? More to the point, is anyone successfully using banana plugs without issue? I just find it odd that...

Thanks. ML did respond with "please refer to your owner's manual" type stuff, but no spefic instructions after a couple of email attempts and pictures, so i gave up. Sorry for being inaccurate. As stated though, i cant switch plugs in this case as they are factory terminated (and expensive)...

Martin Logan Aeon "Custom 5 way Binding Posts" - can someone please explain? Hi Everyone, I have been using "5-way" binding posts since my teenage years (car stereo)...well over 20 years. But I can't figure out the binding posts on my ML Aeons - ML's website, and the user manual states that...

Perhaps the movie soundtrack contains subsonic information, and the sub is just trying to reproduce the signal it is being fed? In that case, you'd be able to rewind the movie and reproduce the effect. Also you'd see the woofer move (a lot) while the noise happens, but you'd hear little or no...

good thinking....why not swap the electronics from right to left and see if the problem follows?

I admire your convictions! FYI, I do understand the explanation and I appreciate your time for putting it in words

WOW, thanks for taking the time to highlight the electronics details! But I still think those points are being placed in a vacuum here (pun intended:). perhaps these points might be more relevant if we were driving the stat directly off the tubes with no transformers at all? But with the output...

Thanks Gordon, I think I'll stay on course for a good entry integrated tube amp. Though your CJ looks like a notch or two nicer than my B&K, I think my amp is the weak point at the moment (equipment-wise). Thanks though - she's a beauty!

This summer i had 1 panel with close to zero output and the other outputting only lower mids but very quiet - it was during a heat wave with high humidity. I suspected dust / humidity so I unplugged overnight, set up a dehumidifier and air filter, then vacuumed and low pressure air blasted it...

Great question, my instincts say that if anything, glass would be more problematic but I have no evidence for that. I know I prefer to not have speakers near a window because they tend to echo mids and highs and rattle from the bass. After i noticed the sound improvement with my new TV, I...

I'm less experienced than many others here, but I can tell you that when I started I had a huge 65" rear projection tv between the speakers, and it was only after I upgraded to a flat screen did I realize what I was missing. I had excellent sound, but poor imaging...almost no imaging actually -...

+1 Would be a shame to drop the money only to find out they're still something wrong....plus washing them might just do the trick. My ML's literally stopped working this summer during a heat wave, turns out they were dirty and the humidity got em. Well, one panel had only lower mid frequencies...
