Hi Lucian, and welcome. I’m sure you’re feeling disappointed, but it’s not really to clear what is not working as you’d expect. You say ‘not more details show’ - does this mean the sound is muffled or dull? Have you the opportunity to check with some other speakers? Is there definitely no...

It may depend on exactly what you’re going to use it for... I like the Linn DS range, having begun with a Sneaky (the discontinued lead-in model) and now upgraded to an Akurate. The high prices at home here in the UK get even higher when exported, but there’s a steady used market over here...

I’m sure they’re not the easiest sale, and your opening post predates lockdown. How about Fanthorpes, who are keen traders and sell them new? https://www.fanthorpes.co.uk/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/martin-logan-expression-esl-13a-speakers/

Bob, I’m pleased you’ve a good dealer in Hifi Lounge. Have you ever heard the speakers working as you’d like, anywhere? I’m wondering if there’s something not quite right with them, or within your room. I had two weeks trying to get the standard ESLs working in our 7m x 3.5m room, but for me...

That's fascinating and reassuring! I 100% agree about the sound. But for for me it was blindingly obvious from the first bars how natural and precise they were. All the others I heard, including the MLs, some new ribbon Quads (Z-3 and Z-4), ProAc D20R, and Sonus faber Venere 2.5, were all...

That's very kind of you. Unfortunately I've returned them as I couldn't manage the bass in my 22 feet long room. Never had such an issue before, but the upper range was masked and/or insufficiently clear. Newsreaders sounded like they had a cold; cymbals lacked a natural fizz. Not a problem I...

Congratulations from a newbie on your Wilson purchase. I'm sure they will be brilliant. I've never heard Wilsons of any type sounding other than stunning, and Sabrinas would be my dream - for a modest, by US standards, British living room. My affair with the MLs was short-lived. I might post...

I imagine you are thinking: Surely something better than a cheap looking 'wall-wart' power supply would give better results? I wondered the same, and incidentally mine covers 110v to 240v so I would think they are universal, wherever the country of distribution. In the U.K. they came with...

As a newcomer to ML, I'd be interested in your opinion. I already think I prefer mine near vertical, but then my seating is rather lower than average (though I'm taller than average)!

So are you saying get 'higher' models that are used, for a similar budget? I see the attraction, but checking them out at home first is pretty much essential for me.

About 21' 5" long by 11' 5" wide, with 8'6" ceiling height. Newly built, last year, so plasterboard walls and fully carpeted. Bay windows the speaker end, and French doors in the rear wall.

I've got them now, and have been re-reading old threads about setting up, alignment and so on. I suspect I'll have a few questions! Thanks for the welcome.

Hi all, I joined to read a bit more about ML's, as I've admired them for many years. Currently using Sonus faber Concerto Grand Piano speakers, now about 20 years old. They've been great, but I've often hankered for a ribbon if panel speaker. ( Not a lover of the dear old Quad, tbh.) Sonus...
