Hello to all the Martinlogan fans and owners! I just setup and listened to my Request Esl's powered by a Yamaha DSP A1...almost brought me to tears. Im not eloquent enough to describe my satisfaction with them other than to say I can disappear into some of my favorite recordings like never before. Purchased at a estate sale without ever hearing them along with the yamaha. They look and sound just incredible. My handle on here "essay3050" refers to a spectrum analyzer made by AudioControl called the SA-3050. I've used mine to EQ hundreds of systems, mostly auto installs that I completed at a car audio shop I owned for 3 years starting in 1991. I like going back in time with a few purchases on eBay, my last being a A/D/S PQ-20.2 old school quality amplifier imported from Japan. Anyway, I can't wait to get my full HT setup with my new request esl's and Yamaha amp. From what I've seen here so far, I consider myself lucky to have found such a intelligent and respectful forum. I already feel at home.
