I saw those reports and thought the problem had been solved by replacing the 6.3 amp slo-blo fuses with 8 amp fuses in the older 1080s. The 1080 I purchased came equipped with 8 amp slo-blo fuses. I have replaced the fuses and the amp has been working fine for the last two weeks so perhaps I am...

Update: Reply from Rotel Technical Support Update.. Rotel Technical Support replies: "It should not be a problem but it could be that music with the low frequencies are pulling so much current that it strained the fuses over time and caused them to blow. If they open again any time soon then...

I have been the happy owner of a pair of Aeon-i's and a Rotel 1080B combo for about a year. I use them for listening at moderate sound levels and I have been pleased with ths sound. The speaker are connected to the amp using the 10 gauge copper cables in a bi-wired setup. A few days ago the...

did not check that :confused:

A/B listening experience Vista vs. Aeon-i Finally had a chance to do a A/B listening test between the Vista and the Aeon-i at my local Magnolia store. My views are of course very subjective. My listening preference is classical - and I am not into "home theater" or special effects. The "test"...

Congratulations!!! I am a new Aeon-i owner also...mine have been a source of great listening pleasure once they were broken in and I spend hours (and hours) just enjoying the glorious, transparent and distortion free music that emanate from these superb ML speakers. I paired them with a Rotel...

Part of the criteria that influenced my decision to choose Martin Logan speakers was the "Made in Kansas" label... and I was a bit surprised to find the following statement on the new ML website: ---------------------------------------------------------------- "That does not mean we have...

Touche!!! I must have been hallucinating about the weight difference... Are you sure that the woofers are "basically" the same...(looking at my Aeon-i's woofer it has a shiny, metallic surface, so I assume it is an aluminum cone. What material is used for the Vista's woofer cone?) In any...

If you can hear the difference between 22,000 and 23,000 Hz you win the all time "Golden Ears" award.... most of us are lucky to even hear more than from 12,000 to 15,000 Hz :-) But I remain unconvinced that the lower end will be as solid on the Vista as on the Aeon-I.... given the substantial...

Squeezebox SB3 with foilage enhancement! No doubt the plant's foilage adds a certain esoteric enhancement to the overall sound of your impressive system :-) Has your wife tried watering the speakers or the amps yet??? :D

Vista as Aeon-i Replacement... "Aeon-i Lite"? Am I glad I got the Aeon-i for $2,500 whn it went on sale last month :-) From the above description it sounds like the Vista is "Aeon-i Lite" ... for $1,000 more.... less bass, smaller panel... perhaps more profit? Am I too cynical? Perhaps..but...

The conclusion of the construction? I saw both the Vantage and the Aion-i at the dealer. The conclusion of the lighter weight (and it's effect on the bass response) is a total (educated) guess on my part. I did say "I bet"! :rolleyes: However, if you look at the specs for the frequency...

If the Vista is just a Vantage without the powered woofer, then the construction is IMHO not as sturdy as the Aeon-i. The electrostatic panel does not have the substantial side supports that the Aeon has - and I bet the speaker is going to be a lot lighter too; in which case the bass reponse...

I guess I meant the "list" price that Martin Logan sets for their dealers... which locally here is what the item is priced at minus a 5% discount. Dealer claims that they are not "allowed" to sell it for less than that. :eek:
