    Advice for EM-ESL. Will Emotiva XPA-3 be an upgrade from Pioneer Elite SC-57

    And there we go. What you will find with the Emo...is a lot of attitude against them. Anthem = $4000, Emo = $600

    Advice for EM-ESL. Will Emotiva XPA-3 be an upgrade from Pioneer Elite SC-57

    I was using my Denon 3313ci to push my Vistas and a Motif center...well push isn't quite the right word. I couldn't afford the amp I wanted yet, so I went ahead with the Emotiva XPA-3...just got it last week as a matter of fact. I could be completely insane or just some sort of physco-symatic...

    Buying Advice

    I am very new to MLs...So please take my reply as such, but I recently purchased a pair of Vistas...Sound awesome...I am only "pushing" them with a Denon 3313 AVR which is opening my ears...but also opening my wallet! So I am looking for an amp...I agree with Peter...if you get less than what...

    A Thank You..and more noob ?s...

    Hi all, I've had some time off so I have been experimenting...like crazy...like my wife thinks I am crazy...Thank God she loves music! I think this may be where it will reside until we get a larger home. Still going to get a different TV stand...I might build something myself, as far as the...

    My ML's sound "muffled" when it rains...

    I am no expert but it makes sense. Moisture in the air means weight...so it would have to effect it...how much, I have no idea? I live in the desert. What is humidity, anyway?

    Cleaning Vistas and Motif

    Hi All, I have read where you should unplug your MLs for 24 hours before vacuuming. I live in the land of dust and they need to be cleaned. I also just got a Motif and was wondering if I should clean it the same way. Do I really need to wait 24 hours? Or is it cool to unplug over night and then...

    Noob question

    Yeppers...And I swear it was just sounding awesome, I moved to the couch and my "sweet spot" planted my butt down and...off it went. Reset and jammed the rest of the evening with no problems...but I do agree, the Vistas deserve much more. I am looking, but it is the Holidays and my wallet is...

    Noob question

    Hi, I also just purchased some very gently used Vistas. I am driving them with a Denon 3313. Not 10 minutes ago the Denon shut down. I was hitting a sweet spot with a little Big Head Todd...I have been looking for an amp, but really want to make it count...without killing my wallet...I am a low...

    Speaker covers for electrostatic panels

    My speakers came with covers. To me they look like a "wide" variety of what I would consider "miro-fiber". I just know that whatever it is that I put my sunglasses into is very soft and lasts for years. I figure if they aren't going to scratch plastic, they would be gentle on Martin Logan...

    Use of fireplaces around Vistas

    Thanks Peter...I had not even thought about that...but it makes sense...one question...would I need to or should I unplug the Vistas if I cover them up? I know that the MLs are always kind of "on"...I don't know if covering them while they are plugged in could be bad...And for the most part we...

    A Thank You..and more noob ?s...

    First, I want to thank everyone for being cool. Second, I am sending some pics...please be understanding. This is far from my final destination. But you will see my fireplace concerns as well as other set backs. I have checked out just about everyone's set-up and I am impressed and not only...

    Use of fireplaces around Vistas

    Thank you Nielson...I know it is not optimal to have them near a fireplace, but I have no choice...I have a small house and a wife who gets cold and likes fires. :) But we might have on best 10 fires a year. I actually just took some pics so you can see where I am at...It is VERY sloppy but I am...

    Use of fireplaces around Vistas

    Thanks...I have the covers that came with them...I was thinking about that...There really is no noticeable smoke, I just know it has to be there...but is there any problem using the covers while they are plugged in? I have wondered that, since they are always kind of on and trying to move...

    Speaker covers for electrostatic panels

    I would say some sort of micro fiber...like Oakley...probably comes in many different thicknesses...And you could get it silk screened with whatever Logo or pattern you would want...Your Mom could sew it all up...But you will still be handing over your $ to a Corporation...I LOVE greedy corps...
