50/60hz I had a similar situation with my Aeon's. I'm planning to move to Australia from the US. I just emailed Jim, and he mailed me a replacement 220v power board for the speakers. I think as long as the speaker is out of warranty, there's no issue with you calling the parts department and...

why can't you just use an external 240-120v step down transformer?

Depth I've had both grotto and depth and a few non ML subs (def tech super cube reference & outlaw lfm-1). It took me about a month of trying different subs to settle on the depth. Bottom line - go servo controlled. You gain a ton in accuracy and musical response. Subs like the grotto &...

power cord I've installed the hospital grade outlet at home last weekend and, and will probably also make a hospital grade power strip. In general, does it help more to use shielded AC cable such as the voltex, or is it fine to just use the twisted qaltex cables? I'd probably swap out all my...

Gotta love the service I got at my dealer (magnolia) I took the def tech supercube reference back, and he gave me a grotto, then two weeks later I took the grotto back (it was slightly underpowered for my room), paid an extra $100 and he gave me a deal on last years depth. Now I am very happy...

measurement I downloaded RoomEQ and used an SPL in conjunction with my ECM8000 to measure what I was seeing and see if I could do a better job on setup. I think it helped me determine I had the sub set too loud and I dialed this back somewhat. Here's what I saw - two charts - one with regular...

ok, think I'm going to a) buy an SPL from radioshack and run some test tones - anyone have some test tones in a wave/wma/mp3 file that I can use? b) then if necessary put in bass traps c) definately return the ML & instead build my own sub and then I should be happy right?

It seems to be working. SPL seems ok. maybe i should pull it apart. I should be able to put an ohm meter on it to confirm if it's just a bad LED.

another question Ian - does the interior box design matter? does it need internal reinforcements placed a particular way to not impact the audio?

Is this the kit - and did you go un-vented? 12" Kit Option 2: Model: DS12CV-sealed kit/DS12CV-vented kit( one A370Servo amp and one DS12CV driver). This is a perfect kit for those looking for "speed", "definition", and "articulation" in the bass frequencies and at the same time smaller...

I have tried calibrating the room using Windows Vista speaker calibration (which is supposed to be better than tact). I used a studio quality calibration mic. See link: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=713073 this didn't help, so I'm hesitant to spend $500 on an SMS-1 to solve...

Both my speakers seem to work great, but right one has red led not working. What's best thing to do? should I Just open it up and replace the LED? I figure should be easy enough to solder on a replacement led. anyone else had something like that happen?

would love to hear more. I just purchased a def tech supercube reference - got it on close out for $1k, but they run around $1700 - similarly priced to the ML grotto, and I'm unhappy - boomy, overwhelms the electrostatics. On paper - specs look great - it's a sub that goes down to 11hz, 2...

I like the Aeon's a lot, but the bass response just isn't what I'd like. I listen to a lot of pop music, some does quite low - Madonna's Erotica album is a good example - for instance tracks such as "rain" or "justify my love" or "erotica". When I listened to these at the store on a paradigm...

240v board Is the 240v board something you can just order from ML? or do you need to pull the board out and replace the transformer on the circuit?
