The speakers I have now (in the photos) are all cones. I had them before we moved here, and they were in a large living room in our old house. Generally I don't like subwoofers, and I don't think I have a way too hook them up anyway. I got an Allison Kraus album the other day (not something...

I'm wanting to get some ML speakers. I started a long thread about amplification, which was very informative. I've read about positioning ML speakers and I think I can do that. However, I have an unusual room (photo attached - I know it is messy). The room is a little bigger than 14x14...

I've heard the term "differential amp", but I don't know how to tell if an amp is differential. What is in contrast to a differential amp? (A high-current amp??)

Do you mean "not powered"?

Yes, I've been realizing that about doubling the impedance. I was considering: * the Schiit Aegir, two class A monoblocks!! - but there are doubts about how it will handle low impedance * Emotiva XPA HC-1, two high-current monoblocks, * Emotiva XPA-2, it bascially has two monoblocks, but...

I'm not close to a big city. The closest place I can listen to MLs is about 90 minutes away.

I've looked online at the Emotivas - interesting. But they sound like overkill as far as watts. I currently have a 2-channel power amp (125 watts into 8 ohms, 200 into 4 ohms). But since my wife retired and is home most of the time, I rarely get to play the speakers loud. I'm intending to...

Thanks to both of you - that helps a lot. The last time I was buying speakers was in 1999. I heard great-sounding MLs, but they cost more than I could spend. For the last 3 years I've been using electrostatic headphones, mostly with high-resolution files. I really like the clarity and...

Hello, I'm new here. I'm looking for new speakers and power amp. I was leaning toward the ML ESL X and a pair of Schiit Aegir monoblocks, see: Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in California and Texas The people at Schiit said that with the low impedance of these speakers (rated...
