Hi Guys Been a long time since my last post but I have still been regular lurker. Over the years, my system has changed dramatically, the only unchanging aspect being ML (upgrade from Aeon i to prodigies) Anyway... I have a new room in a new house which is set up with some acoustic...

OK yes, that is a rather unusual topic for a thread. However, I have had the pleasure of purchasing the following chair for critical listening. Yes, it might well be the ugliest chair ever made, but I love it and it is really comforable as well, I can even lie in it. So can anyone top that?

Well, after many years my dream has been fulfilled, finally we have moved house and I have a dedicated audio room for my Aeon I's which I can fit out and decorate without any concerns about the WAF. The room is not perfect being only 3metres (9.84 feet) wide and 5.5 metres long (18 feet)...

Stunned by a pair of ancient Quads I recently had the pleasure of listening to a friends pair of QUAD ESL 57s These things were over 40 years old, beat up, up but amazingly still working. Yes, they were clearly very tired and in desperate need of refurbishment, but still magical. The sound...

In mid September my wife and I will be heading to the Eastern States of the USA for a months holiday. (roughly 15 Sep – 15 oct) We had such a lovely time in the US last year we decided to return. Our plan is to fly directly to New York and spend a week there and then drive down to Raleigh...

I recently passed on a plan to acquire a pair of prodigy's - mainly due to ebay nerves. 7k is a lot of money for me sight unseen - In monopoly money (Australian dollars that is) However, another possible deal has come my way for brand new vantages , at a very good price. I guess before I...

For sale near me there are a pair of prodigys (with near brand new panels) at a very tempting price (amost half the retail price of a vantage here). At present, I am runnig Aeon i's with a conrad johnson Ca200 - (185w into 8 ohm) which seem to handle things quite nicely. (glorious amp by the...

Hi. This is interesting, I am typing this on an Iphone while in Sydney for a few days. Anyway, to the point, I have just seen a pair of 2nd hand Quests for sale at a hifi store here and I was very surprised by their imposing size. My question is, even though they are an older speaker than my...

Recently I have noticed my soundstaging of my aeon i's getting a bit off balance. With the help of a test tone and a spl meter it seems the top third of my left panel is not producing sound (or at least greatly reduced sound). The bottom of the panel is fine. I did all the speaker cable...

At present I am simplifiying my system. from transport-dac-preamp-power amp to just cd player and integrated. (i'm sick of all the cables) Already bought the cd player - densen 400xs (wow by the way) At present i am considering a mbl7008 as an integrated power amp. it does 120w into 8 ohm...

Until about 18 months ago my Aeon Is were powered by a Thule PA350b amp. This gave a lovely warm and detailed sound. Unfortunately, it gave up the ghost and was non fixable. Especially as at the time there was no longer any product support for that brand in Australia (the company has actually...

Well for a month anyway. In mid september I will be crossing the pacific (from Australia) to spend a month travelling the US. (something I have wanted to do all my life) One thing I would love to do is visit a couple of hi-fi stores while in the country. I will spending at least a few days...

I about to take delivery of a Musical fidelity A3.24 DAC (purchased from EBAY) to improve my redbook performance. On my equipment rack really the only place it will fit is on the same shelf as my Krell 300i. Link: http://www.martinloganowners.com/~tdacquis/forum/showthread.php?t=1987 For...

Amp quest for my Aeon I's part xxxviii... After several weeks and about 6 different amps- trying to find the right one for my Aeon is I am now auditioning a Krell kav300r. In a nut shell it sounds relly great, has ht pass-through and it has a really nice tuner built in. (and fits nicely on my...

Alas my Thule PA350b power amp has died - although under warranty - I cannot be fixed or replaced as Thule does not have a distributor in australia any more. Fortunately the AMP was still under warranty and my HI FI store is happy to arrange replacement with an amp of similar value. Already I...

I am considering whether to buy a power conditioner for my hi fi system, in particular a Thor PS10 which is a device for Australian conditions. I am aware that power conditioning can (may) help sound quality if hooked up to electronics. However is there any benefit hooking up my ML Aeon i's...

I have a pair of Aeon i's with a large TV (52 inch rear pro) in between. I have a nice sounding system now, given that I have spent a lot of money on decent electronics and cabling. refer: http://www.martinloganowners.com/~tdacquis/forum/showthread.php?t=1987 However, my system does not...

I thought it worthwhile to provide an anecdote on what a difference vacuuming your speakers makes. I have had my Aeon Is for about 4 months (purchased new). Until then I have not cleaned them as recommended, due to, well laziness I guess, also the panels looked clean. Anyway a few nights ago I...

While at the showroom purchasing my AEON i,s my salesman mentioned the need to vacuum the dust on a regular basis. However he suggested a quicker way to drain the charge was to rather than leave them unconnected to power overnight, instead turn the power off then play music through it for a few...

I presently run my CD player (Shanling CD-T80) into my Home theatre receiver - admittedly a very good and expensive one (Denon AVCA11XV - 4806 equiv). The Denon acts as a preamp to my Thule PA350b Power amp and then to my Aeon i's. (by the way thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on the...
