    Hello from the Whisky trail

    I knew that my amp would be fine with ML. Back in Denmark you might find some used Dynamic Precision. Mine are ca 30 years old and still going strong.

    Hello from the Whisky trail

    Hello to you from another new member. I have the Celestion sl700se and Sl6s and Vantage, and needed to clean (shower) the Vantage to get it right. Sorry, cannot help you much with your question, but have you tested the Vantage with other amps?

    Martin Logan Shower Cleaning PDF

    Another happy result here. I did the shower trick with my ML Vantage. Removed the strator, shortcut the panels, washed gently in the shower with cold/tempered water. Although we have water low in minerals I used some liters of distilled water afterwards, just in case (from a dehumidifier).

    Piano distortion on ML Vantage

    I will certainly look into this and further improve my settings. Thanks for your suggestions. So far I think I got it fairly good. Not so unlike the placement I used for my Celestions. It is a golden ratio (as recommended in the Vantage manual) height (250) and distance from front wall to...

    Piano distortion on ML Vantage

    Got rid of the hissing sound. The cables was correctly tightened but it had a bend it didnt like in the other end. I did not want to mess with the other end as it is covered in plastic but moved it gently back and problem solved. Thank you all again for your help and suggestions! The...

    Piano distortion on ML Vantage

    I think the shower did the trick. I got some improvements just cleaning contacts and secure and tightening the cables. But today the piano was fine! A hissing sound on the left speaker though. I dont think it is any moisture left but I unplugged it and will test again later today. If it is...

    Greetings from Norway

    Having the Celestions for so long I have grown accustomed to them and their sound. Had (and still have) the SL6s. When the 700 came it was seen as a dynamic ML CLS but with more "pondus" or weight. It was because of electrostats I got them. Having Stax earspeakers I knew what they could do and...

    Piano distortion on ML Vantage

    It is totally transparent in RL. The phone flash is quilty here. I think it is in both panels. The amp is good, probably unknown to you, do not think it has been sold internationally. Dynamic Precision 600.

    Piano distortion on ML Vantage

    BTW: I have tested the speakers with test-sounds and tone-sweep. No problems found.

    Piano distortion on ML Vantage

    I was a bit afraid of vacuuming but read that it shouldnt be a problem. After turning it off for the night I did so. The is a small sticky thing at the very edge 2/3 up on one panel. I have unsuccessfully tried to get rid of it, but I think the distortion is on both sides. Is there a tip to...

    Piano distortion on ML Vantage

    I have to rewrite: press the wrong reply key... I did demo the speakers, and I did notice something strange with piano (Jan Garbarek live at Athens) But I thought it was something revealed by the speakers. He had a great setup with Audio Research gear and it sounded great. He had upgraded to...

    Piano distortion on ML Vantage

    I just got myself a set of Vantage speakers used. They look and sound great except on piano. Lower mid is a bit distorted, sort of a honky-tonk filter on the piano. Glen Gould Goldberg variation (last one) is troublesome. A lot of recordings sound a bit strange on piano but in many cases it...

    Greetings from Norway

    Hi all! I have just got myself a used set of ML Vantage. I have had Celestion SL700se for 25 years I have been very happy with those. I wanted some full range panels but found them too big and with a very low WAF.:D I have had the Vantage for a week and stumbled up on this page. I have a...
