    Learning something everyday (browsing youtube videos)...I found this "influencer blog" (mukbang, in Korean). It's called "7 Servings of Pork Belly (1.5kg) Challenge. First prize is 1,000,000 Won"! (if you finish in less than 7 minutes.) Watch a "dainty" young woman chow down (daintily) on a...

    Comparing ML CLS1's with Magnepan .7...

    I've added a new pair of Magnepan MG .7 quasi ribbon speakers to my home theater... With no break-in, they sound great, very possibly an alternative to the CLS's. At $1450 for a new pair, vs replacing the CLS panel's for +$3,300 (and still using the old electronics) a very real choice...if you...

    Speaker Positioning...The 1/3 Rule.

    I'm a new member and I can't help but notice many ML setups with the speakers close to the back wall. I've had my ML CLS II's since 1989, in many different room sizes, and they always sound best positioned 1/3 out from the back wall AND with the listening position located 1/3 out from the front...
