    Taking the AI plunge

    Yes, ran tons of Cat6 and planned for about 8 cameras. Plenty of good spots for wired access points. No metal studs. The interior framing is wood. But the exterior walls and one interior wall that runs the length of the house are concrete. I’ll hit you up when I’m ready to figure things out...

    A Sincere From My Heart Question Regarding the Future of ML ESL

    I totally get what you guys are saying about comparing the 15A to the Summit. I was comparing top of the line when I bought to top of the line now (excluding the Uber-expensive Neolith). But you’re right that it’s not really apples to apples since the 15A has a lot more panel surface area and...

    Taking the AI plunge

    Wow! The Papillon piece is gorgeous! Tell Liz I love it! I’m going to have to find time to get into this stuff. Don’t know when, though. Not until this house is built. I totally forgot about that! I’m going to need to contact you by I.M. or email and discuss this with you. I’m planning out...

    Whatever happened to Joey V.?

    Are you saying I’m a colorful character? 😜😂🤣

    A Sincere From My Heart Question Regarding the Future of ML ESL

    Not too surprising, I suppose. When a high end independent company gets bought out by a big conglomerate/investment firm, the bottom line becomes the only consideration. First, prices rise well beyond what the product is worth, leveraging the brand name. Then, when sales/profits fall, the brand...

    Whatever happened to Joey V.?

    Haven’t seen a post from him since 2016 or so and just wondering whatever happened to “the kid.” I’m sure he’s a full grown man and medical doctor now. Maybe has no time for audio hobbies and electrostatic speakers. But I’m curious if he ever checks in from time to time. Anyone heard anything...

    Wow. Just, wow! Really cool stuff. Thanks for sharing. As a photographer, I’m particularly interested in the ai image generating technologies.

    BACCH4mac, you really should try it

    Sounds like this is a viable option to improve sound in a poorly-designed or non-treated room. I expect it wouldn’t be as big an improvement in a well-designed, acoustically-treated room. Interesting technology, regardless.

    BACCH4mac, you really should try it

    The Janszen speakers are excellent and have pretty good dispersion. I did an audition at David Janszen’s factory and never had the “head in a vice” feel that I got from Roger Sander’s speakers. I seriously doubt technology like this is necessary to enjoy a pair of Janszen speakers. Or ML’s, for...

    Impression of my new Power Sound Audio S2112M subwoofer

    The IPal gives you more headroom. It’s got twice the wattage of the standard sub, and a woofer that’s designed to handle every bit of that 4000 watts. Double the amp power basically gives you 3 dB more headroom over the standard sub. In large rooms like yours, that can be very useful.

    ARC to be liquidated ??

    Crap. And I need a new set of tubes for my Ref 3 Preamp.

    Impression of my new Power Sound Audio S2112M subwoofer

    And you would be wrong. Tom has a stellar reputation for customer service and doing whatever it takes to make things right when things go wrong. The only difference is, PSA offers that peace of mind for two years beyond what ML offers. Not to mention PSA subs cost about half as much as ML subs...

    Impression of my new Power Sound Audio S2112M subwoofer

    Excellent review, Robert! And as I expected. Can’t wait to get my four TV21 iPals set up! Regardless of the sub and given proper setup and calibration, two will generally sound better than one, and four will generally sound better than two, and across a larger area as well. It’s just the...

    Well, my BF 210 has a big problem and I purchased it new in July 2021. Here is what it is doing.

    No review yet on the PSA sub? I’m anxious to hear your thoughts!

    You had me at “intelligence.” 😆

    I’ll be interested to hear which one you go with and why. I’ve got a JBL SDP-75-24 (which is just a re-badged Trinnov) for the home theater I’m constructing. I went with the JBL version because it has the anechoic data files for the JBL speakers I’ll be using in the theater. You should...

    With that number of subs, you should seriously consider a double bass array with a Trinnov Altitude processor for your home theater. Do some research on Trinnov’s upcoming bass management algorithm which will be (at least initially) designed to work with double bass array setups. Could result in...

    Congrats, TiBoneFramer! Yours, when completed, may be the only “serious” theater I’ve ever heard of that uses ML subwoofers. 😂 At the same time, it seems a bit of overkill unless you are doing a double bass array type of setup, no? You could easily get as good sound with much fewer subwoofers...

    I’m not trying to pick a fight, I promise. But I do enjoy a good debate. I really was curious though, given the discrepancy in pricing in the states. It honestly didn’t occur to me that you were in Canada. Makes sense now. And I’m not trashing ML subs at all. I think they’re great subs. I’m...

    How is this, exactly? The BF-212 retails for $4500. The SVS SB16-Ultra retails for $2300. You could get two of the SVS subs for just slightly more than one BF-212. If there is so little content below 20 Hz, why do you have Crowsons? What signal do you think they’re amplifying? But I do...
