I have the same problem with my quests, so I keep the lights dim;)

Good luck with your quests! I currently own a pair, bought them last year used with new panels and original drivers and X-overs. They sound great with my parasound halo A-21 amp. They would sound better with the pass x-250, but thats out of my budget.

Anyone have experience with the original monster sigma M cables? These are the cables from the 80's that are over an inch thick and came in a black suitcase. I find these pretty good as i got these used cheap, but otherwise I hate all other monster cable.

Hi- currently use the parasound A-21 amp with a B&K preamp that drives my ML- Quests. Excellent. This amp compares with the pass X-250 stereo version and I heard them with these speakers side by side and although the pass beats it out, for the money the halo A21 is a great bang for the buck.

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate the time you put in to reply to my question; I will remove the back cover with the power removed first and examine the woofer first.

:duh:This talk about babies and rattles is just begging for a smartass comment, but I think I'll resist the temptation. :)I get it

Hi, been a while since I posted on this forum, but when I play music with certain bass tones, not necessarily loud, I notice a "dull" rattle coming from the center of my quests 12" woofer. The rattle is "one toned" is the best way I can describe this: meaning the rattle makes the same noise and...

my friend has used both pass x150 and pass x250 with the ML vantages and works great together as the pass is a very powerful amp.

Although it is no Pass x350 which is the best sounding amp I heard so far on my Quests, I bought a Parasound Halo A21 for 1800, retails $2K and delivers 250 watts per channel @ 8 ohms. This amp can compete with amps twice the price and sounds nearly as good for the money spent. I use the...

For the price, looks and sound, I liked the ML vantages, since my dealer had them playing in a smaller room than yours.

Wow, that is great, especially the rails! I have the original quest speakers i recently purchased used and would someday re-finish the rails as I have the oak finish.

Hi, I have the original quest with new panels and run them bi-wired and sounds very good, not as good as the vantage or summits, but for the money I could not go wrong, as I paid 1300 for both in very good condition. Did not realize there are different mods for these, as they have the original...

Thanks guys, those are really good ideas! You do have a point with the ML's being large speakers in the first place, I am suprised myself that my wife even likes speakers that large, but she finds that she likes the sound from them as much as I do!!:music:

As Kaboomnash said, I am looking for cable management also, as the original power cords that came with my cd, amp are so long, I have tons of wire hanging out the back and sides of my stereo system. So while I would get shorter lenghths of wire, I would hopefully hear some improvement in sound...

thanks guys for your replies, learned a lot in this forum, especially after I got my ML quests. I bought these quests used and got the original power cords with them, and was surprised my dealer never mentioned upgrading the power cords, especially since he sells them and he can make a few $$.

Sorry, I reposted because I didnt think it went through:confused:

does anyone use after market power cords with their amp(s) or ML's in their setups and notice a difference? I am considering upgrading my power cord on my parasound halo A 21 and my ML quests

Hi everyone! does anyone use aftermarket power cords on their amps or any other equipment? I was wondering if this made any difference. I am using a parasound halo A21 amp, Roksan kandy cd player, B&K pro 5 pre, Monster cable sigma speaker cable for the panels and cardas quadlink for bass...

Hello, I had a pair of JSE 1.8 speakers with 10" woofers. The sound of the bass began to have that "loose sound" as described by others in this thread. I ignored it pretty much until I realized that it was the foam surrounds began to deteriorate. This caused the woofer to move in and out...

Well, good luck with your new speakers, Ill take good care of your old Quests, I'll probably have those for 15 years or so until I get the "upgrade bug" and replace those and the equipment with it
