    Sound Diffusor

    The many articles I've read combined with personal experimentation tells me a flat monolithic wall behind the speakers works best, and maybe add modest absorption and or diffusion in the middle. However, a wall of green would look awesome, might want to spray some fire retardant on it like used...

    ABC...audio, bourbon, cigar

    Good cigars, having one right now at the local cigar lounge. Audio, sadly lately mostly in the car. Bourbon, I use it for aches and pains, better than anything in my medicine cabinet.

    Synergy of ML and Nordost

    I agree when talking about the speaker wire, Nordost and Martin Logans compliment each other. The Nordost interconnects are good, not great in my opinion. Cardas and Kimber Kable IC's provide a fuller fleshed out sound over the leaner flatter sounding Nordost IC's in my opinion. I mean they...

    3D printed speaker enclosures

    Thanks for the video, very interesting. Some folks are married to the box. Freedom from the box, with panels, open baffle and so forth are more to my liking. I guess boxes come in handy for the bass, gotta admit to that.

    ARC to be liquidated ??

    I agree, it was sometimes confusing reading about Audio Research and Acoustic Research in the same magazine issue back in the day.

    Hi and thanks MLO

    Stratwing, thank you for the additional photos. Question: on the side walls composed of alternating vertical wood boards and a slightly recess black area - what is the black area? Drywall/Gypsum Board painted black, or perhaps exposed Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV)? Lots of things to like about...

    Room Acoustics - Absorption Panels Behind ML's

    In my current room I started similar to where you are, and ended up completely blocking the window up with old acoustic ceiling tiles and foam rubber flooring (covered in felt). Then I took my tall equipment rack out, firstly by using an older low rack center stage, then again moving the...

    New Member System

    Fresh room, fresh challenges - good luck. I too have a collection of old equipment that I cycle into my system during repairs. It is kind of fun, each piece has it's own personality.

    Room Acoustics - Absorption Panels Behind ML's

    I'd like to add to my two older posts in this thread, and the things I've learned since then. In retrospect the reason I found improvements when I placed a heavy wool blanket over my old CRT tube screen TV, and then again when I relocated the system in front of my fireplace with a diffuser...

    Conrad Johnson Amp with ESL9s

    Looks like he decided to get the amp repaired and get a temporary cheap amp, plus maybe upgrade in the future. https://www.martinloganowners.com/threads/i-need-a-cheap-temporary-power-amp-any-recommendations.19059/#post-199897

    Sanders ESL Amplifiers

    I never head of Coda before your post, and looked it up. Sounds very interesting. I also looked into Innersound and Sanders amps, nothing on the resale market, people must be keeping them.
