    System #355 (Aerius i)

    It depends in general on how much damping you have in the room. Heavy rugs and padded furniture absorbs lots of energy. Based on your pictures, would I go for absorbers. Rugs/carpets/durtains can do a lot, and can be used as wall decoration (usually good absorbers) as well. Damping the rear wall...

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    Equipment upgraded: Bought a Michell Gyrodec that is about 20 years old. Very close to mint condition. A SME SIIIs came free with it. It is ready for twin arms, but I'm gonna run it with just one. Gonna do some fiddling with the balance though, since the original lead counterweight is not...

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    Try sending an e-mail to Jim Powers at Martin Logan. It could be 2 things that are wrong. If one speaker requires more signal to turn on, could it be a leaking capacitor in the music sense circuitry. If one of the speakers is playing considerably lower than the other, is the panel most likely...

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    I had Aerius i's before getting the Ascent's. Vacuumed them regularly, and had them for 10 years or so without any problems what so ever. I would guess the life expectancy of the most recent panels to be +15 years in a non smoking environment. In regards to the cost of replacing panels, call...

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    Had a huge scare recently. My cat felt like marking his territory or just his discontent with something, and sprayed one of my speakers. Didn't find out before putting on some music, noticing that the left speaker was muted significantly. There was still sound from the panel, but it probably had...

    Well Tempered Amadeus TT

    Hi Glen I'm not in doubt how the manual should be read. However, judging from some photos I've seen, more than 1/2 a twist anti clockwise was applied on this photo: The Firebaugh patent: http://www.google.com/patents?id=xd8sAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#PPA1,M1 Unfortunately, I don't own...

    Well Tempered Amadeus TT

    What bugs me, is the way the wires are twisted on the photos on WellTempered Labs website (official photos). It differs from how I read the manual, and I somehow doubt, that this setup would provide with the appropriate anti skating force. Snipped from the manual: 2. With a small amount of care...

    System #278 (Summit)

    Really nice setup. Been pondering on Nordost speaker cables, but ended up with new MIT AVT1's (replacing Terminator 4's). Really nice price so I could afford a set of MIT AVT1 interconnects as well. Really like the clean look. I can't get that, cause I got nowhere else to hang my 42" plasma or...

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    The Primare R20 phono preamp is now connected. Very clear and noise is acceptable even though the output of the cartridge is on the low side. Also bought a set of MIT AVT-1 interconnects, to replace the Supra cable between pre and power, and a set of MIT AVT-1 biwire speaker cables to replace...

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    Change of gear: The Holfi amps are now replaced with all new gear: Pre amp: Lyngdorf DPA 1 (RoomPerfect) Power: Icepower 250ASX2 RIAA to be replaced by Primare R20. Waiting for a set of MIT AVT 1 Biwire. Gonna replace picture soon.

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    The upgrade was done by the previous owner, so I can't comment on what it does (never heard a regular Ascent). It did, according to the previous owner, improve bass performance significantly. Tighten things up. The previous owner has also replaced the panels, so the panels are less than 4 years...

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    Update: The Holfi Power8 is now replaced by IcePower technology: http://www.icepower.bang-olufsen.com/files/solutions/icepower250asx2_datasheet_1_1.pdf Greater clarity. Pitchblack background. Improved control of the bass drivers.

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    Sub has been sold, and the MF X-DACv3 as well. Auditioned a Lyngdorf TDAI-2200, and will soon order the preamp edition of it. The DPA-1. The Room Correction is just amazing, and the DAC's in it, is very good. The Holfi's will go on sale. Bought an Icepower 250ASX2 board, that'll run the...

    System #306 (Ascent i)

    Thanks :) Finally got my Aerius sold. However, it opens up a can of worms. The new owner of my Aerius i (a SL3 owner who had to move to a smaller appartment) had a Lyngdorf TDAI2200 amp. This was an amazing combo. He had a pair of HUGE JBL subs (2*15" in each sub) that had a (IMHO) totally...
