LOL "hard", it's metal. Kinda surprised to see Katatonia mentioned on this forum besides myself. I gave that album a listen not too long ago. Gotta get into rotation.

I've gotten all my refurbs or discontinued ML's from Audio Advisor. http://www.audioadvisor.com/products.asp?dept=243

Uh nope, the room causes way more distortion than any compliantly designed equipment. Go ahead an obsess over .003% thd vs .007% thd when SBIR (this still is a problem with ML's since they use cones for the bass) and reflections cause huge peaks and nulls. ;)

Keep both subs on the mono channel. There's no real point to running subs stereo IMO especially since you lose all the benefits of multiple subs smoothing out FR, the combined sum working less hard for the same SPL, and overall lower distortion.

Hello fellow Michigander, I'm not familiar with the inner workings of that specific model. I plan on converting my EM ESL's to active at some point in the future. I talked to a DIY guy about it once and it was suggested to just remove the woofer from the passive Xover and leave the panel hooked...

Wow I'm surprised that render was accurate (looks like a quick render of what would be out of a group of renders in the concept stage to me), just weird some place would release that instead of real pics. At least it looks miles better in a real pic. The EM ESL-X head on looks a lot like the...

Until I see them on ML's site or their FB page they're just pics that site just hastily posted on there by people who don't do their research cuz people like to look at pics and not actually read anything. Anyone who's familiar with the EM ESL's know that pic is clearly that model and not the...

That's not an actual pic of the Renaissance ESL 15A. That's some 3D modeled render of something, could be from ML or could be someone on the internet making 3D models of stuff, who knows. Also the pic that claims to be EM ESL-X are old marketing pics of the EM ESL's from when they were...

You probably just ripped the red book 16/44 audio portion of the SACD in DSD format. From the Jriver Wiki on DSD: http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/DSD

What a waste of subs. There's no point and pairing them each with a channel as then it negates the benefits of a multi-sub system. Bass management and correct positioning of subs would be superior. One of the mods of Home Theater Shack was at this years RMAF (I think) and ML had a 4 Neolith...

I thought everyone knew that burn in is completed one day after the return period ends. ;)

Bi-wiring does nothing except part you with your money. In your case since the Vantage has powered woofers so even passive bi-amping wouldn't do anything either since it's more or less done that internally anyway. Save your money and don't buy Audioquest. I know this is a controversial subject...

Take it off the wall and set it on top of the Marantz temporarily and see if it improves.

I don't use Tidal but their page shows Weather Systems. You should check out The Crestfallen EP or Serenades album if they have it... haha actually don't since you'll probably hate them then since that's when they used to play death metal. :) The Silent Enigma and Eternity are still metal but...

If digital cables made a difference then you should be able to find one that can change that dress from white/gold to black/blue or vice versa. Oh wait that's a visual perception issue, that probably doesn't apply to audio so nevermind. :)

That's calibration data for your mic. The degree is the phase but it doesn't look like that data is showing. Play with placement more especially with your sub. Measure each speaker individually, even the sub. Waterfalls are good for around 200-250Hz and under. Take the ms to about 350. You...

My advice is to ditch the iPhone mic and RTA software. Buy a calibrated USB mic (Dayton UMM-6 or miniDSP UMIK-1) and learn Room EQ Wizard (REW). You'll need the impulse response and RT60 measurements for seeing the impact of room treatments. Tuning via pink noise and RTA is how they did things...

Around the Jackson area.

I haven't done it yet myself, I have a few DVD-A's to convert: Foobar2000 http://www.foobar2000.org/download + DVD-A Decoder http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdadecoder/ You should be able to convert them to FLAC.

The miniDSP everAMP might be enough to power those for portable use around the house. It hasn't been released yet but it will be soon. http://www.minidsp.com/products/headphone-amp/everamp
