    Solid State Power Amp for Impression 11A speakers

    I did some searching a while back to find out more about the Devialet amps. Seems they might not be the best fit for low-imedence swings from the ESLs. @Klaus Andersen - have you used them with ML ESLs? Maybe things have changed in the last year or two?

    Room Size ? Esl 15a

    I'd put them in my bedroom! Some mood lighting behind the panels, and you're done!

    Spare parts to my Aerius?

    Looks like the cable has slipped out of the banana-style connector, that is plugged into the upper Red terminal. At a rough guess, you were using the screw-down portion of the terminals to "jump" the connections, and then using speaker cables terminated with Banana plugs to deliver signal from...

    UNABLE TO UPGRADE STR INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER FIRMWARE OR SOFTWARE.

    First port-of-caall would be dealer where you bought the STR. If that's not an option, Anthem support is pretty responsive. How old is the STR?

    Making Vantage Sealed Box (Port Plug) Question

    The functional design of a bass enclosure is typically built to support a very specific "tune". Some others with more brain cells than I can probably provide details in terms of octaves, dBs, etc. What I DO know is that the specifications of the woofer/driver are match with the volume of the...

    Reviving older ESLs - burn-in required?

    I would seriously consider converting them to a Active Crossover/bi-amped scenario. There are several threads on here (one linked below). Now while I have no doubt that Martin Logan has been genuine in the pursuit of seamless integration of the hybrid ESL/Woofer designs since their inception...

    Best way to transport ESL 11a with out boxes?

    Here goes my $0.02... Both a (relatively unloaded) pickup bed and a U-Haul trailer are not known for their soft rides. Somebody above suggested a mattress... not a bad idea at all. Some straps so the speakers don't leave the top of the mattress, with a little bit of compression, ad you should...

    Integrated amplifier for ML Motion 20i

    You can look at Anthem and Bryston, too. Not sure about matching price points...

    Obsessive hobbies....

    The all-important question... what software you using? Going the "Podcast-style" route, or more traditional?

    Hello from England, looking for some info on SL3's

    Yeah, my SL3's (regular plastic connector blocks) has the sliding panels... I don't think they changed that. I was considering doing some router work on the trim pieces & reversing the key-hole brackets, but never got round to it. The little brackets from ML work

    Hello from England, looking for some info on SL3's

    Thanks for the input. Here's what I got from Bryston (Axiom/Bryston now?) support" "To ensure no damage to the speakers, if you have a multimeter set it to DC mV and measure across the binding posts of each channel with no load connected and see if it spikes or jumps to anything higher than...

    Hello from England, looking for some info on SL3's

    Hiya. I think we're saying the same thing... int he context of the OP's SL3's, he could accomplish a similar result to what is achieved with the new 11A+ series by bi-amping, and going Class D for the LF drivers. Remember, when the SL3's (and everything until the Masterpiece series), it was...

    Hello from England, looking for some info on SL3's

    Hi gain I don't know anything about the DSMs (was a fanboy of Sondeks & Isobariks back in the day!), but not sure the amp out stage would be a good fit for the SL3 panels. This is based on nothin more than the wieght of the unit, and my assumption that it's using some form of Class D "Magic"...

    Hello from England, looking for some info on SL3's

    Hi Welcome aboard! I am not as deeply technical as you, but really appreciate the approach you are using in trouble-shooting your SL3's! As a new user (welcome, BTW!), you migh tnot have access to all the search stuff on here... here are some links you will find handy: Power & XO board...

    Advice on reflection from a video screen behind the speakers shining through the panel

    FWIW, if you're already in the Bryston "fold", you might consider the 4B-ST and subsequent equivalent models for amplification. In fact, you might even consider the PowerPac range and effectively have an Active situation with PowerPacs by each ML... There are tons of options for Solid State...
