    Dampening Electromotion with No Rez

    I have a couple of 15s for sale and here are my measures without any modification with a sub and without a sub. These measurement were made in my living room with REW and the UMIK-1 microphone showing 1/12 smoothing, not ⅓ smoothing. Maybe no Rez would help but the response is very flat.

    2021 new gen Apple tv 4k Dolby Atmos Problems

    Something I just discovered today that I thought I would pass on. When I had my Atmos configuration (All Wireless via WISA) the only difference I noted in volume between a 2 channel recording and an Atmos recording was an increase in volume. Recently, I decided to do just a 2 channel stereo...

    For Sale Martin Logan Motion 15s, Forte Amplifier and More Audio Products for Sale

    A few notes of information. 1. Those response curves are with no EQ applied. I think you would agree that those are very flat response curves for in room (my living room) measurements. With an SVS 3000 Micro sub it creates a full range economical system for a study or smaller living room...

    EM-ESL upgrade to ESL-Classic 9’s

    I made that transition and the ESL 9s are a big step up from the Ems. The center imaging is so good I often thought my center channel speaker was on when my source was 2 channel and I would have to walk up and put my ear to it to realize it was only the two ESL 9s playing. I only sold mine...

    These speakers are sold and no longer available. I can't find how to change the heading to mark as sold.

    Esl x vs esl

    @RAH, I'm not sure what amplifier power you are using or the size and characteristics of your too, but as you can see in my REW plots, the base is not overwhelming not is it boomy in my LR. I have used anywhere from the Martin Logan Forte amplifier (50W per channel) to the MiniDSP 450W mono...

    Here is a photo of the same space with the ESLs and another with the Motion 40s.

    Esl x vs esl

    I had the EM 40s, the ESLs and now the Classic 9s. Honestly, the EM40s don't compare to the electrostatics and the classic 9s are a substantial improvement over the ESLs in two important ways. One is of course base response but the second and more important is the height of the panels. With...

    Sold FS: Pair of Martin Logan Classic ESL 9s (local pick up only)

    In relooking at my ad I realized I did not include the selling price. I have just reduced the selling price to $3,400, these retail for $7K.

    Sold FS: Pair of Martin Logan Classic ESL 9s (local pick up only)

    These speakers are in very good condition (8/10) and sound great! They may be auditioned in my home and carefully examined to ensure they meet the description and photos prior to acceptance and purchase. They are for local pickup only as I do not have the boxes. These speakers sound fantastic...

    2021 new gen Apple tv 4k Dolby Atmos Problems

    I disagree, there is an issue with Atmos playback on the ATV4K whether it is Apple Music or Netflix. It may be due to the added processing in converting bitstream to their PCM format and overrunning their buffer but their are definite drop outs independent of the slow start of sound on Atmos...

    2021 new gen Apple tv 4k Dolby Atmos Problems

    As an interesting aside on the ATV4K, I have both Gen1 & 2, when I use airplay to connect to my speakers and run REW, when using the ATV4K and using a tone timing, the tone fails to emanate so the measure fails. If I run it to the Roku, it works. I have no idea why. Both of my ATV4Ks are...

    Emotiva Amp for ML ESL X

    Look at 8ohm vs 4 ohm power for each channel and for all channels driven. 4ohm should be double or near double the power. Also, see if they say it will handle a 2ohm load. The ML ESLs can go down as low as 1ohm at 20KHz. Some amplifiers can't handle even a short duration load that low...

    Brand new Masterpiece ESL 9 level difference in left right channel

    Unless there is a short or arcing occurring in a panel, I'm not sure how a panel can cause this. I am attaching ML's panel replacement instructions. Essentially, the audio signal is fed through a step up transformer and connected to each stator (one on each side) and they are separated by...

    Put a battery backup on it and problem solved. I put a UPS on all of my systems to avoid those types of problems.

    Brand new Masterpiece ESL 9 level difference in left right channel

    One boards electrolytics may have failed and the other is on the verge of failure and the failed set could have been caused by a defective panel. Something is causing the electrolytics to fail but they appear to have leaked electrolyte that has now dried leaving a residue.
