The problem is not really if the receiver can drive the speakers, since most can, but the poor sound quality of many of these A/V receivers will be laid bare by the resolution of the MLs. I auditioned my ESLs through a big, high-wattage Pioneer A/V receiver and the sound was bright, aggressive...
I usually put something monophonic on. With the imaging of the MLs the image should be rock solid in the center. If not then you might have a balance issue.
That's not how it works, actually. The breaker does not limit the amount of current delivered to your device, nor does it impede that delivery in any way. What it does is pop when the current being requested is greater than its rating. So if the D'Agostino is on a 15A circuit and the breakers...
I, too, have noticed the benefits of listening a little louder. I guess at the lower volumes the little nuances don't reach your ears from across the room. Tonality and dynamics are greatly enhanced. Perfect example is Amanda McBroom on the Sheffield album "Growing Up in Hollywood Town", at...
Oh, so you damaged the panel, paid $1400 for the pair of replacements a year ago, and the replacements have the wrinkles. Did they develop wrinkles or you just didn't notice them initially? Do you think the wrinkles are more of an aesthetic issue than a performance issue? I know either way...
Well that explains the deposit. As a second owner, they don't know you from Adam, plus the damage was self-inflicted. The deposit was just their way of saying "We're not putting any skin in the game unless you do, as well". Can't blame them I guess. Sucks that you have no speakers until they...
No, they did not ask for a deposit. He was very eager to ensure that this new ML owner was pleased with his purchase and the company, and I am! I sent him a copy of the receipt, the serial number of the afflicted unit and my address and I had the replacement panel in a week. How old are your...
Within a week of owning the Electromotion ESL I noticed a small wrinkle in one of the panels. I emailed ML and asked if this would affect the sound. He said it really doesn't, but he wants my speakers to be perfect and he sent me a replacement panel - no charge under warranty, of course. I...
After decades of lusting after Martin Logan speakers, my listening room is finally graced with a brand new pair of ElectroMotion ESLs. Loving them! I also had reason to work with the ML service team on an issue and their speed and efficiency are astounding.
