That makes the most sense. I previously had my speakers spiked on wood and it worked very well. With the current setup, spike - puck - rug - tile, I must not be getting any coupling. Since I can't spike directly to the tile, and I'm not sure it would work even if I did, it's back to the flat...

In my last house I had my MLs sitting on Brightstar Audio Big Rock isolation bases. The speakers were on the third floor of my house and there was simply too much floor-borne vibration getting back into the speakers. That's modern construction for you. With the speakers on spikes sitting on the...

After moving houses and upgrading several components recently, I have spent the last several months moving my Montis speakers around, first by feet, then inches, finally quarter inches until I got them to where I think they sounded their best. Once I was finally happy with their placement, I...

I've only known Dr. Jack since October, but so far, he's taken very good care of me. I originally bought a used CJ PV-10B preamp to go with the MF-2500A, but within days I wasn't satisfied with it. He gave me full credit for returning it, and a nice deal on the PV-14. After that, he was very...

Jeff, Congratulations on the MF2500A. I just got a PV14LS2 and MF2500A in October to drive my SL3s. The Premier 17LS was out of my price range, unfortunately. I think that CJ and ML is a match made in heaven. The two just complement each other so well. I'm thoroughly impressed with the 2500A's...

Hi Benny. I just recently bought a new amp to go along with my SL3s. One of the models I auditioned was the Krell 400i integrated amp, which I guess is the successor to the 300i. The dealer had it driving a pair of Ascent is. The Krell drove the Ascents just fine, but it did get very hot. I'd...

test tones I got the Excel worksheet that includes the correction factors for the Radio Shack Sound Level Meter at this website: http://bfdguide.ws/ The test tones were at this link: http://bfdguide.ws/sinewaves/ The test tones are 1/6 octave tones from 160 Hz to 18 Hz. They are mp3 files...

Yes, $500 for 2 power cords is giving me pains as well. I'm just not convinced I'm getting enough bang for the buck here. I think I'd rather buy another $500 of CDs and get much more pleasure . Unfortunately, my carpentry work is pretty much nonexistent. I couldn't take wood shop in high school...

update on my bass problems Hello again. I thought I'd give an update on the bass/room resonance problems I've been having. Since my last post, I've done several things, with interesting results. First, I vacuumed the panels. I realized it's probably been too long since I last did it, as it...

I thought I'd chime in here, because I've had a similar experience. I first heard ML speakers many years ago, at the CES show in Las Vegas, with very expensive electronics. The sound was magical, and I was smitten. I knew I'd have MLs someday. I was finally able to buy my SL3s a few years ago...

Shoe, I fear you may be right, that bass traps may ultimately be the only answer. However, I'm still holding out hope for another solution because the SL3s are in my living room and big 'ol tube traps in the corners and along the walls are just not an option. I still intend to try the...

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions so far. Roberto, it's been a while since I vacuumed the panels, so I'll definitely try that first. I don't really understand the "shower" comment. Do you actually remove the panels frrom the rest of the speaker and wash them? How do you disassemble them? I...

Hello everyone. I just found this forum while poking around yesterday, and I'm hoping the collective wisdom of this group can give me suggestions for a new problem I'm experiencing. I've been upgrading my (2 channel only) system piece by piece. I've had a pair of ML SL3s for a few years now...
