Just got back from Axpona. I'm happy to report that both ML rooms were very impressive. Rm 1117 had ML Expressions, but I forget which pre/amps they were using. Interestingly, ARC was turned off, and the bass controls were at their default neutral settings, yet the dynamics and imaging were...

Perhaps we should look into planning a 20 year reunion!

Many of the name suggestions are hilarious, such as "Liberated Music Server" (which would maintain the LMS acronym) or "Orphaned Music Server."

FYI, March 19th is apparently the official date that Logitech is shutting down MySqueezebox.com However, most, if not ALL streaming services and functionality will be maintained by various developer plug-ins. I've had the Qobuz and Radio Paradise apps running for quite some time, but was...

I'm still running a Squeezebox Touch, with EDO (Enhanced Digital Output) app for higher res files, into a Bel Canto DAC as my primary source. I have 5 other Squeezebox devices around the house, all still working perfectly. I just upgraded to the 8.4.0 version of Logitech Media Server, and no...

The A8 has piqued my curiosity, as it could theoretically replace my Squeezebox Touch, Bel Canto DAC, and C-J preamp as a one-box solution! However, as a "Chi-Fi" product, long term reliability and support could be an issue. A key selling point, for me, would be Squeezebox compatibility, which...

I've owned the Aerius i's, original Summit's, and now the Expression 13A's. Each iteration had progressively better integration of woofers and panel. IMHO, the 13A's are exceptional in that regard.

As far as I know, ML no longer offers custom finishes. When I purchased my Expression 13A's (7 yrs ago) I inquired about getting a custom Bubinga finish (like my Summits had). I was told they no longer offer custom finishes, and I'd have to pick one from the Standard or Premium options. I...

Which custom crossover are you using for the BF212? If not running your 13A's full range, did you dial the woofer control down the full -10 dB?

After immediately unplugging, if liquid was running to the bottom of the stat panel where the wire connections reside, I would quickly lay the speaker on it's side, grab a towel, and dry it as much as possible. I'd then call ML and ask for further advice.

For those not familiar, Dennis Chern was formerly the Eastern Sales Manager for ML, but I believe he's now retired. Nice to see him posting here. Looking forward to hearing his perspectives as a former ML insider!

Getting back on topic... Joey V is an E.R. doc in Texas and, I believe, married with kids. I reached out to him in 2017, hoping to catch up with him at Axpona that year. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to attend. Like many of us at that age, between career and family, there's probably little...

If ML can give you the specs (ideally manufacturer too) of the Abyss 12" driver, you might find a comparable replacement here... Woofers, Subwoofers, Bass Units Archives | Speaker Exchange Alternatively, you could send them the damaged one and have them rebuild it.

I'm thinking of getting Paul's book and test disk. Unfortunately, I was a backer for Jim Smith's Through the Sound Barrier Kickstarter campaign 10 years ago. It raised over $92,000, but he never delivered the videos and test disks. He stopped posting updates over a year ago, but never offered...

Interesting idea Brad! I'll try that, with a laser pointer taped onto the horizontal portion of the square, and placed at the center of the panel. I'll sit at the main listening position, have my wife aim the laser at me, to see if it hits above or below my ears. I can adjust rake angle...
