    ML Descent sub vs JL 113 Fathom

    I have to agree with C.A.P. I am using the F113 with an all Linn 2 channel system and this is the best sub I ever owned or heard anywhere else. It just smokes the competition with its musicality and precision timing. When plugged into my surround system for movies it provides an almost heart...

    Unequal Cable Lengths

    I definitely would keep them the same length for the power amps to see the same load, capacity, etc. Maybe some electronics experts can chime in. I really would love to know if different electrical values can influence the sound. I have to disagree with amey01 on this one. It ALWAYS should be...

    Subwoofer to go with my Vista's - Opinions?

    The JL f110 should retail for not more than $2100. I have compared it to its bigger brothers and the difference is minimal. There are not many CDs which go below 25Hz anyway;-)

    Subwoofer to go with my Vista's - Opinions?

    Check out JL Audio subs. The f113 is simply phenomenal in my HT. Very deep, dry, and extremely powerful. It comes with a microphone for the room measurement computer which does a very good job getting rid of peaks caused by placement/room acoustics. It the f113 is overkill for your room, then...

    B&W article re high-res studio mix downloads

    Of course you are right. The only point I am trying to make: finally "digital" music is available (not enough though) which beats any analog medium. After all the available high res downloads ARE essentially the master files as they were mixed in the studio. These are the files, converted to...

    B&W article re high-res studio mix downloads

    Sure, after all vinyl has been the reference for more than half a century (not counting reel to reel mastering tapes). But at least to my ears digital high res and analog are now too close to call. Anybody know of a blind test 192kHz vs. LP?

    B&W article re high-res studio mix downloads

    how about 192kHz resolution downloads? Hi all! Well, actually I too believed for a very long time that vinyl can't be beaten! But I am always open for new music and new formats and now I am changing my mind. Linn Records is offering a few FLAC downloads 24bit with 192kHz resolution and the...

    do ML electrostats go well with Linn/McIntosh amps?

    Hi Gordon, Happy New Year! Well, to answer your question: The amps int he ML speakers can only amplify the signal they get from the power amp up the chain. So if the power amp is not linear in certain frequency areas, if it tends to overemphasize certain musical characteristics, if has this...

    do ML electrostats go well with Linn/McIntosh amps?

    Hahahaha... that's the idea. I just want to make sure that I do my homework before showing up at the dealer with the Linn under the arm. One thing is for sure: I cannot wait to hear for myself what everybody here is raving about. I never considered electrostats after my first encounter 20...

    do ML electrostats go well with Linn/McIntosh amps?

    That is a very interesting observation. I guess I will have to see what combination sounds best to my ears. Yes, I noticed that the MCs tend to make the bass more blooomy than the Linn amps, which are tighter and dryer (at least with Linn speakers). BTW: the pre-amps are the C500P/C with the...

    do ML electrostats go well with Linn/McIntosh amps?

    Hi all! I have to admit: I am brand new to the world of Martin Logan. Before I fully dive in I want to do some research and wonder if the electrostats (like Vista) mate well with Linn amps. I have the Linn Klimax Twin (2x200W, stable at low loads) and an Akurate 2200 (2x200W, stable). Can...
