I have a pair of ML CLSzII and my DMA-90 sounds nice and dandy, but I am wondering if I would be better off with the DMA-180 S2? it seems that the DMA-90 is JUST strong enough to drive the CLS’s but I am missing a bit of power at times. Thoughts? (I would like to stay within the SpectralAudio...

Nice clean setup; you might want to treat your room with some acoustic panels; you’re hearing your room at about 80-90%, not your speakers.

I tried this amp with my MartinLogans (Aerius-i and a pair of CLSIIz) and it took all of 10 seconds to tell that the amp was not good enough for the MartinLogans. Yes, it has the power to drive them, but it has no musicality. All brawns, very little finesse. All the details that I am used...

Hellllooo!!! It’s been a while, I have been busy with other things, but it seems that I was able to tame the beast. I used our trusty Dyson Hair Dryer in lieu of a heat gun, and boy oh boy did that make a difference! The flapping os nearly gone and to tame it even further, I applied some...

... as a side effect ... the concentrated air beam that the hairdryer produces blew quite some dust off the panel, too. :)

I worked on the left speaker panel last night, only briefly. The outcome is encouraging. I might need to repeat it when I am feeling better. Nothing beats a Dyson Hairdryer; super airflow and easy to pin point to the critical areas.

I just had a long conversation with Roberto, and he listened to it. It seems that the diaphragm is a bit lose, and I am going to (extremely) carefully try to heat up the panel to get it to shrink just enough to get rid of the buzz. @Brad225 You were talking about "dried out" and discoloration...

It sounds like a mechanical noise, yes. I am not snarky, I just want to know: * What other kind of noises can a CLSIIz panel make besides playing music? * Can it be the frame? There is an area that looks like it was dampened by ML ... these panels have never been taken apart. It seems that...

@roberto Do you have any idea on how to "calm" my CLSIIz? When I am in front of the speaker, about 45 cm from the floor, (left speaker), I hear some vibration as if something is "loose". There are also some patches on the foil in this area, they seem to be applied by ML themselves. These...

I have a pair of CLS-IIz's that are "acting funny". From time to time they sound distorted and lately the left speaker, for a lack of a better word, farts. It stops for a little bit when I apply gentle pressure on the stator, but returns after a few minutes. It also sounds like that it tries...

Hmm, I don’t have the boxes for my CLSIIz, were they inside it, too?

Thank you! I wasn’t aware of that service.

Whoops, I see that your post was from 2007, the linked page doesn't exist any more. Do you know of an updated link, maybe?

Speaking of panel replacement; does MartinLogan offer refurbishing the panels for a lesser price?

I thought I had to go through ML for replacement panels?!

Yeah, I have informed my wife about it. Her reaction was along the lines of, "Christmas is coming". :) So, I'll give it another shot and see if I can mess fix them up, or I need a new pair of panels straight from ML.

[email protected] is my email address. My system is SpectralAudio, DMC-20/DMS-20 pre amp and a DMA-90 power amp. I have tried to contact someone, Russell, I think, who can refurb my panels. I have not heard from him at all. Too bad. In the meantime I hauled my other pair of ESL's into my...

I like the idea, as I do have hardwood floors and it seems to be protecting the floors quite well with the corner pieces you mentioned. Also, putting something heavy underneath and coupling the speaker with spikes to it seems physically sound as well. First and foremost, though, it doesn't break...

I looked at their website and demo, I can hear the difference, but I am not sure I like the difference, if that makes any sense. There might be a chance that I can actually "audition" them (that sounds weird to listen to pucks, but anyhow...) at a nearby dealer. Thank you for pointing it out.

I own a pair of Aerius-i speakers now and I am very happy with them. I do have a few questions though: Spikes: what size are those preinstalled spike threads? How can I get access to the subwoofer to tighten its screws, I am sure then could use a twist or two to properly tighten them (I am the...
