Hello
My first post here (other than my brief hello in the new members section).
I've just acquired my first pair of MLs - some rather nice Sequel 2s.
I'm driving them with a Marantz PM17 KI Sig, which copes surprisingly well and sounds terrific at low to moderate levels, but I rather suspect an amp with more juice is called for. I'm finding the bass very rich, tight and deep (the Sequel 2 are the first large speakers to work well in my room) but female vocals are a challenge to the Marantz at anything like realistic levels.
A few questions:
I realise that at some point I will need to fit new electrostatic panels and am guessing these will not be cheap. Does anyone know how much a pair of these are likely to cost (I am in the UK)?
What are the telltale signs of failing panels?
Would a Krell KAV-300i be a good match? Which other amps should I be considering? My budget would be about £1000 for a used amp.
I'd be grateful for any useful tips or info you think might be useful to a new Sequel 2 user - anything from positioning advice to links to useful info on the web.
Many thanks
Martin
