Hi all, I bought a contemporary home with a great room/dining room with hardwood floors and cedar lined ceiling. On one side I have sliding glass doors and the other a big brick fireplace. From what I remember, it seems like I would be asking for a lot of trouble with all the reflective...

Ugh. Sorry, can’t figure out how to delete.

Hi all! I am a former ML owner (SL3) that finally might have a place to have MLs again. So I wanted to come back and see who was still here from 2007-08 and to share my love of Martin Logan ESLs. It seems like a lot has changed as technology has improved so I’m looking forward to learning how...

So what exactly does one do when you have a pair of ESLs that are supposed to be crossed over at 95Hz and a sub (Grotto) that only goes to 80Hz? Cross it at 80Hz and then lose about 15Hz worth of information? Or does this combination mean that there's overlap? Dammit I'm so confused :)

Has anyone read about how CDs are being produced to be louder now? Apparently CDs from 15 years ago are much quieter than now. Basically meaning that our parents are right. New music does sound like crap. Literally :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war So the question is do I need to...

I just heard from someone that ML is making speakers in China now for the Best Buy? Are the Claritys made there?

I just upgraded to a 2007 Mazdaspeed3. 263hp/280lb-ft What a lovely exhaust note ... Only mod will be the Mazdaspeed intake/exhaust combo good for 300/300. Here's a picture of a car like mine but not my exact car:

Rather than moving my SL3s to Colorado (I'm moving my stuff in about a month) I'm thinking about selling them and then buying speakers once I get out there. I'm going to have a bigger room ... So, how much better are Ascent i than the SL3? Do I need to consider upgrading my components?

It's amazing how misunderstood this merger seems to be. Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth about monopolies. Here's what I wrote in another forum. I thought I'd include it here because we're all civil and edumacated :) This is not a monopoly. The barriers to market entry are artificial and...

Okay, so I have my Denon 2307 hooked up to a Rotel RB-933 that then goes to my SL3s. When I was in Magnolia about 15 months ago, I listened to a DVD of The Dave Matthews Band in Central Park. They had a Pioneer Elite outputting to a pair of Claritys, a Depth (I think if that's the small sub)...

David Carroll Washington, DC Martin Logan SL3s February 2006 (drove to NYC in a rented minivan to get them!) Hell no ... These are going to last me until I can afford Vantages or Vistas 50" Panasonic TH-50PH9UK Plasma (Commercial version with no tuner) Martin Logan SL3 Electrostatic...

Has anyone tried to refinish their rails? I have the maple ones on my SL3s and I was thinking of sanding and staining them a little bit darker. Yes/no/whatareyouinsane? :)

So I finally decided to go with the Denon 2307CI receiver and Rotel RB-933 3ch amp. But, I need a rack. Something slightly above Robin's $10k folding leg dream rack but not one of those $500 racks you can fill with steel BBs. At this point, form is way more important than function. Does anyone...

Anyone know anothing about NAD? There's a NAD C 272 on the 'gon for $550. It's 2x410 at 4ohms. It has four speaker posts for bi-wiring. Here are specs: Sooooo, this is definitely something that would work well for me given my fiscal means right now. The question is weather or not it's really...

How crucial is it to go balanced vs. unbalanced? Is it simply necessary or something that one can look towards down the road for improving an already good system?

I bought a pair of used SL3s about a year ago and due to numerous events including an engagement and condo renovation I have not had a chance to hook them up. I'm getting a bigger space in a couple of months and I'm now looking at what I'm going to do to finish my 5.1 system. I have an Onkyo...

I'm looking at an Onkyo TX-SR803 as a replacement for my TX-SR502. Here are the specs of the 803: Power Output* (8 ohm, 20 Hz-20 kHz, FTC) 6 ohm Capable 4 ohm Capable Front L/R 105 W/Ch Center 105 W Surround L/R 105 W/Ch Surround Back 105 W/Ch (L/R)...

I know that they can't really control the treatment of their products from one customer to another but to not transfer the warranty at all, at any price, is really a huge slap in the face. I had considered stalking this board and ebay looking for used Claritys but to find out that ML won't...
