Hello to all my fellow Martin Logan Owners!
Recently sold: Quest Z with new + old working (panels) excellent condition 9/10
Currently Own: Aeon i, Vista, Cinema i
Sunfire Theatre Grand Pre II with Sunfire power amp (200 x 5)
I am seeking some advise from all you knowledgeable folks out here. I have been lurking around the forums for a long time but this is the first time I am actually posting.
Ideas I have:
1) When I owned the Quests I always though they had enough bass, enough for me to forgo the need to add a sub. I always thought that even if I blew the drivers I could replace the subs with JL audio W6 - W7. Would this be a problem even if you have sufficient power to drive them? I guess I am not to concerned about the driver/ woofer doing any mid's as I was running the panels as small fronts crossed over at 250 htz and the drivers/woofer as subwoofers. Has anyone tried this? Running panels as small fronts and the drivers as subwoofers? Since we do have the option to Bi-Amp. BTW I have had excellent results doings this on the Quests - Since the woofer/drivers are 12 inches (they can handle the low bass).
2) I am replacing the drivers on my Aeon i's with Dayton Audio/ JL Audio (haven't decided yet). The quote I received form ML to replace the woofer/ driver on the Aeon i was a bit more than I am willing to pay knowing there are aftermarket options. Question is does anyone have any specs for the box the Aeon i's? Things like cubic volume of the box? I called ML and they were unable to provide me these details and all they said was the speaker was 4ohms.
All comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
