    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    Thanks everyone. Regarding the sub, I still have the issue with the sub unplugged and crossover on the MLs set to 80hz. So it doesn’t seem to be that. As far as an ENT, I did see the specialist at UCLA where they did a rudimentary button pressing test for audible frequencies. I really had to...

    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    Hello all, more than a year from my original post. My older dog required a lot of care so I had to step away for a while. Sadly we had to put her to sleep. The worst thing to ever go through. I sit here writing this with my ears partially clogged from watching movies two days in a row. I’ve...

    Any good media streamers coming out, or just released lately?

    A quick note and something I’ve been dealing with. All manufacturers are in the process of rolling out HDMI 2.1 chipsets to their devices. There was an initial issue with the supplier, and concerns that the chipsets being delivered weren’t fully fledged and capable. There are only a small...

    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    FYI, all of this started from watching Tenet on 4K Bluray. It has a DTS-HD MA score and soundtrack. It is thunderous. However, the dialogue is notoriously low and characters are wearing gas masks which doesn't help. Christopher Nolan has been criticised for his choices, but stands by them...

    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    My god. So much great advice and feedback. I really appreciate everyone's time. I'll respond specifically to everyone, but just wanted to say a quick thank you for all your time. I'm doing an ear test tomorrow and a follow up with a specialist Friday and will spend the weekend trying all...

    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    LOL. I was very glad to hear he was off the mark. From the photo i posted, I don't have 5ft in every direction. My place is pretty large for LA, but doesn't give me a lot of room to play with. As a designer, I have to make the area look good too. Is the window, glass coffee table, and...

    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    When using the speakers, I move the two chairs on the left, and the small arm chair on the right out of the way, then pull the speakers forward a little. The center channel is now an ESLC. it hadn't been delivered at the time of this photo. Feel free to give notes....

    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    Thank you. Any merit to the Magnolia sales specialists claim on having to replace all my cables to Audioquest and needing a power conditioner? He's claiming that ear fatigue is caused by distortion in the sound.

    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    These are the amps stats. I couldn't imagine its not enough power or straining to deliver. Perhaps that leaves room acoustics are my main culprit? Thoughts on the amp, which was recommended by someone on another ML group: 20Hz -20kHz +/- 0.5 dB at rated output (130W) 200 watts RMS x 7 into...

    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    Thank you. It all sounds quite clean, just heavy on the ears. Its difficult to describe, but ultimately makes our ears very sore and muffled for up to a couple days. The sales rep at Magnolia is saying its my cables and that I need a power conditioner. Sounds like upselling to me? Nobody...

    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    Hi all, I just bought new Martin Logan ESL's and ESLC in a home theater setup, or in stereo listening for music. My wife and I are experiencing severe ear pain even at low volume. I'm being told it could be the brightness of the speakers and may need to adjust the Audyseey settings. My...
