Thanks for the heads up Jeff. How do you rate the sonic synergy between the Logans and the BAT in general ? Thanks again! AP

Howdy ! Planning for a new Summit X soon and would like to know if a VK-75SE be enough to drive them, considering the woofers are active, or do they really need the power of a pair of VK-150SE's..? TIA! AP

Black Gates..... Congrats Steve, Yes, you'll need a LOT of patience !! BG's take forever to break-in (well..not exactly forever..lol), ML Panels also take sometime (around 200-300 hours), your new CD mods will also need sometime..Best guess would be a 500 hour mark before any final...

May I also add.... Try to go for cables with very simple designs..they usually impart less sonic signature or let's say less 'harm' to your overall sound. What you need to do is look for cables that will not change the over sonic balance of your set-up, and here I'm also targeting power cords...

The BEST is yet to come...:)..however,.. Hi Robin, Well, I can truly say the best moment for me is NOW..I mean with the recent Plinius amplification set-up and the cd player (my set-up below). It is very true the Ascents are amp friendly BUT the better you give it the better it gives...

Hello Pancho, I'm afraid I'm not able to help re tube amp selections and requirements but I can strongly recommend Plinius amps with Martin Logans in general. You will get the musicality, the drive and control as well as the SUPERB sonic synergy between these 2 brands. I'm sure there are other...

I'm equally amazed, more so now.... Hi C.A.P, I have my new Plinius gear since 5 days now and to be honest i wasn't expecting the Ascents to mirror the sound the way it is doing now. Granted my new amps and digital player are still 5 days old very far from being fully broken-in yet the...

I think yes.. Hello longhorn, While I haven't heard the Aeons yet, will be doing so within a couple of weeks, I believe the Aeons are substantially improved upon in the bass department over the Aerius i's...I also can see an ambience driver located at the back of the speaker.. In the time I...

ML Ascents... Congrats ! As a proud owner of the original Ascents here're my 2 cents..;) -Break-in time is around 300 hours give or take depending on how much you play real music through them. I'd also suggest you use the XLO burn-in track 9 on repeat for a couple of hours daily. Being...

Hi Dan, Just a quick note to say that my new babies are being cleared from customs these couple of days, at long last !! Will update you as I receive and start to listen:)

A little variation on a theme.. Dolfin, many congrats on your new Aeons ;) Yes, bi-wiring does improve the sound just as Jeff mentionned. However, I'm using my AZ Hologram II's in their single wire config connected to the 'lows' with a pair of matching jumpers connecting from 'lows' to the...

Hi Dolfin, Yes, it's worthwhile the upgrade. The real Logan magic starts from the Aeon upwards. If you have more space and a bit more cash I suggest you think about stepping up to the Ascents (i's), they are the BEST compromise in the Logan line-up and a TREMENDOUS value for money compared to...

The Descent is a very good all round sub. Of course, it would be a good idea if you can audition it in your room to see how good or bad it synergizes....I've heard it in a demo set-up and I liked it. It bears the same bass signature of the ML's in general.. AP

Hi TJ, Here's what I believe is more correct and logical (from my own recent experiences) re power cables in general...: If you have a top notch power supply in your gear, cd player, preamp and amp and that means not just a good basic power supply but also high quality components such as...

Hi Kev, Thanks for the info:) I will endorse your statement above re the superb and special synergy between Plinius and ML speakers. I have also found the same, and that's why I count myself lucky now that I am an ML owner !. Still though, the Logans in general, are very special loudspeakers...

Roger that C.A.P :cool: I'm using Acoustic Zen Hologram II's (Solid Core design as well : Single Runs with special jumpers from the 'low' to 'high' posts ) and I completely agree with your findings. FWIW, I have also tried earlier to use aftermarker power cords to power my Ascents but...

Hi Kev, Thanks for the update :) I remember your posting about the CD-101 at AA a while ago. Was wanting to ask you how is it now after it's been finally broken-in ? My new suff is supposed to be shipping early next week. I have good experience with the SA-250mk4 / M-8 combo so I'm all...

Looks like I may end up like you...:) Cheers AP

Yep, the SA-REF is the current Plinius Flagship amp..looks like a no-holds-barred design encompassing all the know-how that Plinius accumulated along the years using very high quality components inside etc.. :cool: I can feel for you re cable expenditures and auditionning. I've had it real...

Glad that you still do Dan..:) The Logans and Plinius amps are really GREAT together. Waiting for an SA-REF/M-8/CD-101 within the next couple of weeks, I really hope they won't be overkill with my Ascents !! FWIW, i've been also experimenting these days with Siltech IC's and the results are...
