    There are a number of designer material style hexagonal sound treatment panels you can get. They come in various sizes, colors, and some even have designs that make them look like marble etc. There also companies who will sell you acoustical panels that have paintings on them, such as movie...

    Martin Logan Serial Number Decoder - Collaborative Update Project

    ym = Year/Month 2 letter product code with year/month. EG my Matinee was manufactured in December of 2010. Correct, "Grotto I" typo on my part. Same applies for my Grotto. 2 letter product code, then Year/Month letter designators. All of my ML speakers were purchased within a 4 month...

    Grotto i - No power

    Nope, it was just a blown fuse. My wife had unplugged the unit without turning it to standby mode first. Apparently unplugging the Grotto i while the amp is powered up will cause the fuse to blow in the unit. I was able to reproduce the cause.

    Grotto i - No power

    Page 12: 2-Channel Mode with 2-Channel Output. Page 14: Shows the plug, and the fuse, but it does not include any language about how to open the fused receptacle, which is what I was asking for help with... But, then again you linked the manual for the Grotto, and not the Grotto i which uses a...

    Grotto i - No power

    So, pulled my Grotto out of the box after moving it. It's not powering up. (Yay!) As much as I would love to check the fuse, I'm not entirely sure how to open the stupid fuse panel. I can't tell if it needs to be forced open with a screwdriver or a pry tool, or just given a stern look so it...

    Looking at Martin Logan Source's

    I honestly believe they will go out of stock before they come down further in price. The two Magnolia locations near me (Only ML dealers within 3 hours drive... maybe 5 if the pass is snowed in.) Well, they're not only out of stock, but they've sold their floor models. I picked mine up for...

    Best Center Channel for Vantage Speakers?

    The Motif is pretty much exactly the same as the Matinee, only with slightly upgraded drivers, all metal grills, and a better mounting bracket... They literally have the same cabinet. It sounds like you probably need to either go with the Stage, or adjust the output level of your center...

    Looking at Martin Logan Source's

    You may want to hold out for the Electro Motions now that the Sources are discontinued. However, that may well save you some money on the Sources. I own them, they're great for home theater, but you're going to have to bite the bullet if you want a matching center channel and pony up for the...

    Lifetime Service for MartinLogan Products

    Yeah, apparently the sarcasm wasn't quite thick enough for that one... I just didn't want to gum up anyone's machine when they hit that post and it came oozing off the screen. ...But, I appreciate the backup. Even if I fear no man who fails to use punctuation while calling me a troll...

    Lifetime Service for MartinLogan Products

    I think the idea is to support your customers, encourage them to upgrade, but support their hardware at a profit either way while gaining new customers and expanding your sales model. If I could turn around in Dec and trade in my Sources for 70% of purchase price to upgrade, I'd be pretty darn...

    Lifetime Service for MartinLogan Products

    Justin, I can't believe you had the gall to come here and tell us that ML had made a mistake, and that you were continuing to support legacy products! How dare you even have the nerve to post here ever again! This is exactly the kind of customer service that a company the caliber of Martin...

    ML Center to match sources.

    Currently we're at about 50/50 HT and Music usage. I don't expect HT to ever drop below 40%... The unfortunate part is that even the used (10 year old models) ESL centers are going for $600+ Normally I wouldn't really fret the extra cash for the center, but I'm in the middle of buying a...

    Service Notice for Discontinued Products

    Actually, they do. One of my friends is a buyer at an exotic cars junkyard in Florida. They do swift business there. Sometimes a car has been parted and stripped before the blood on the upholstery has even dried.

    ML Center to match sources.

    OK, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this but... Do I need to go with one of the ESL model center channel speakers to match well with my new Sources and Grotto i sub? Or would say a Motion C or TF work "OK"? Pretty much, am I going to end up spending $1500 on a single...

    Source Speaker grills

    The cat repellent works on 2 out of 3 cats. As for things for the cats to scratch, there are 2 scratching pads, and 3 cat trees in the media room. They have LOTS to scratch. :)

    Source Speaker grills

    To make that challenge worse. The one that likes water is partly feral still. (Rescue cat.) They do not tend to bother non-carpety things. They don't even claw furniture. I'm not sure what was so appealing of the speaker grill to the cat that attacked it. They will attempt to sharpen their...

    Recommendations for Martin Logan Source

    I'm driving my Sources with a Pioneer Elite SC-37. The answer is that it will drive the speakers, but due to their impedance swing, if you try to push it too hard you can burn out your amp and/or damage your speakers. Which is a basic truism to every audio setup. In general it's always better...

    Source Speaker grills

    Actually, hissing at them gets their attention better than a squirt bottle. Not to mention, one of our cats loves water and thinks you're just playing with her. She hops in the shower and/or will lay in the sink and meow at you until you turn the water on so she can bathe. :) I find it's...
