    What piece of music do you use to gauge your system by?

    I love reading one of the responses that included "LITTLE GREEN BAG" !! One of my favorite "one-hit wonders! I know it is an "audiophile" cliche, but for me the 1999 SHM-SACD of Steely Dan AJA is one of my go-to system evaluation discs. I have the about-to-be-released Analogue Production Hybrid...

    Martin Logan Aerius On Off

    Hello. I put mine on a Tripp-lite surge suppressor that has an on - off switch that I put on a shelf inside my audio cabinet Saves wear and tear on the AC cord and bending down to unplug them a well as providing some protection for them. See available models at "Tripp-lite.com"

    One more "cheap" upgrade for the ESL-X I found: Removing the rear woofer speaker cloth cover helped improve the low -end audibly !

    VideoVic again. Forgot to mention the ESL-X's also offer bi-wire or bi-amp capability for future upgrades. I heard a qualitative improvement after bi-wiring them with A-Q Rocket 88 speaker cable.

    Esl x vs esl

    HELLO ! Just thought I'd chime in having owned the ESL-X's for 2+ years. My current setup is: the Rotel RC-1590 preamp, a Rotel RB-1582MKII amp and an SVS SB-3000 sub that I absolutely love. The ESL-X's are approx. 8 feet apart and 30" from the front wall and the imaging is terrific. They mate...

    ROTEL RC-1590 PREAMP phono input noise

    A good friend bought a ROTEL RA-1592 integrated amp (not the new MKII version) based on my recommendation of how satisfied I was with my ROTEL RC-1590 preamp / ROTEL RB-1582MKII amp combo. He has a turntable connected and recently discovered there was "noise" coming from his speakers when the...

    Commercial Dust Covers?

    Hello. Check with Martin Logan to see of they have something for use with the Odysseys. When I bought my ESL-X's three years ago, I was able to purchase a spare pair of the cloth covers the speakers where shipped in.

    No, RJ. Sadly Sound Lab is no more. The brick-and-mortar high-end audio retailing business is really piss poor here considering that the Chicagoland area population is in excess of 4 million people

    Hello, RJ. I totally remember Sound Lab stores. If memory serves they had a store in Palatine IL and that is where I bought the Aerius i's.

    Was only half kidding about being ashamed of the Bose products.... Everyone has to start somewhere, right (?) and they were kinda S.O.T.A. back then, especially the series one 901's.

    Hello GadgetGuy. Thanks for sharing. I envy you your Krell amps !! I'm thinking my next upgrade may be to NAD to get the Room Correction but unsure how the Class D amplification would sound with the ESL-X's. More research is required. Best regards. Victor

    Hello! I don't know why it took me so long to find MLO but glad I stumbled onto it today whilst looking for feedback about using a tube amp with M-L ESL-X speakers. I began my audiophool journey back in the 60's with (2 pairs) of (stacked ! ) Bose 301's (oh I am so ashamed !), a Sony STR-7065...
