    hi rich i have bryston 4bst amps which are bridgeable. I can either bridge amps in pairs or I can bi-amp and bring separate power to pans and woofer. Which do you suggest?

    Took the plunge, my first ML

    hi have also matched ML with Bryston. Use 4bst and 6bst i agree with twitch. let your ears tell all. however, a practical perspective the 2bst, while high current and generally more watt tested than on spec, may be slightly underpowered to make difference in the low end. consider maybe...

    Where did you mount your Scripts?

    Ear height best HI Because of the layout of the room and WAF, I had to place my two logos in the ceiling. It gives a very different and unusual sound, which I actually don't prefer. My understanding is that the ear is shaped in a unique way to facilitate hearing ahead of you. YMMV, but...

    Recomended Surge & Line Conditioners?

    Hi I played here a bit in a past life. For power conditioners / protectors, I've used quite a number: APC Server grade protectors Equitech Blue Circle Richard Grey Panamax I liked the balanced power approach - thought Blue circle bit more value than Equitech and reasonably easy to get in...

    Ascent I - Best matched Sub suggestions?

    thanks! Many thanks guys. I guess what I"m hearing is that the Descent is a great way to go- particularly if I can get one used (e.g. 2 is better than 1) people have also indicated Depth over depth i given the extra price. Thx.

    Center chanel for Martin Logan Ascent

    I have the Ascent I and Theater I. Can't comment on the Stage, but I would agree with Rich - tonal and timbre matching is key! Especially with home theater and having sounds cross from left to centre to right. It really makes a difference. There has been substantial increases on content...

    Hi I have: Bryston 6BST 4bST Ascent i, Theatre i , 2x Logos Homegrown Audio Silver Lace IC and Spkr Denon 4806ci as processor for now. So I have a pretty decent appreciation of your sound. I actually am thinking of some changes, but I'll give you some past insights. Brystons are Canadian...

    What Gauge Wire for ML Ascent i Panels?

    Yes, it was immediately noticeable for me. Urgh. I too am contemplating re-pulling some wire, but I think the reverse configuration that you. I'm assuming that you're looking to pull wire for the Fronts. I just installed two Logos in the ceiling as my surrounds. 13 Years ago, I pulled 14...

    Speaker Cable/Wire for Martin Logan

    I've used both copper Signal Cable spkr wire as well as Home grown audio Silver Lace spkr wire for Ascent i / Theater i set up. Similar to ablve experence, but mostly clearer imaging for me. As a Canuck, I have the larger Bryston Amps, which are a bit stoic in nature and it took a while to...

    What Gauge Wire for ML Ascent i Panels?

    I've used the Homegrown Audio Silver Lace speaker wire for 8 foot runs that have worked reasonably well. Agree with all above. I have ascent I and actually did a test with long pair of basic 30 foot copper 14 awg that I had lying around. Also had a pair of same wire at about 15 foot doubled...

    How do I best mate ML and Blue Circle for Home Theater?

    Hi My question relates to my system, which I'm doing upgrades/tweaks to, but hoping others may find use in this slew of questions in one post that make it easier to size up how to best mate the two. I've gotten pretty confused on the BC equipment. Mind you, they've all been absolutely...

    Effectiveness of Power Conditioners

    Bryston Amps I own a couple of the Bryston SST series and used different power conditioning and tweaking elements. I've found similar to Nick's comments "I think it depends on the conditioner being used, how much power your speakers take and just how clean your power is to start with." Your...

    Effectiveness of Power Conditioners

    Music Rings for Martin Logan Davei / Gilbert My friend will be dropping off my MR 1800 (higher power rating) Looks much larger, don't know if it does a better job than the MR1200s or not. Nor have I tried with ML components. When U say that it reduces the sound quality, what do you mean...

    Box alternative to Martin Logan.

    Buying MLs as a Canadian As a fellow Canadian, I"ve bought probably 30+ audio items from the U.S. (including ascents, logos, and Theater!) and understand some of your reservations. A most concerning observation that I and a number of US counterparts I've interacted with have indicated is that...

    Amp for Ascent i?

    Bryston Amps with Ascent I I'm using Bryston 4bsst and 6bsst with the Ascent Is. Tried ST and the SSTs are noticeably better for MLs. Blue Circle Amps also great fit.
