I find with my Summits that with my average-height chair, I lose some of the bass information I get when I prop myself up. Perhaps if I had a high chair (ha!) or was really, really tall, I'd be at the perfect height for optimum bass. Have other owners noticed this and what did they do about it...

One of my Summits has developed a rattle on the lower part of the panel. It's only evident when quite loud and on when certain frequencies are manifested. That is, songs that have louder-than-average mid-to-low range sounds. Has anyone else experienced anything like this, and is there a way to...

Has anyone heard the SU-G700M2 amp or any of Technics' recent "pure digital" amps with MLs? These are not Class D or solid state but apparently a different technology. And would a 70 watt amp of any description have enough power to drive a pair of Summits? Here's Steve Guttenberg raving about...

A few months back when I was playing a CD with lovely deep bass fairly loud (but not TOO loud) on my Summits, the left panel stopped working. I got advice from ML and with the help of the good wife (who has better eyes than me) we figured out how to remove the panel and swap it over to the other...

The panel on one of my ML Summit's has suddenly stopped working. (Yes, I was cranking the music at the time but not to heavy metal levels!) The bass still works but the light strip has gone off as well. Does anyone here have suggestions specifically for this model? I live in a rural location in...

I love my Summits and really don't feel the need to upgrade but there's a pair of 11A's going for a great price, so I just wondered: has anyone done a direct comparison between these? I know 11A's have ARC and so forth, but differences overall? I read somewhere that the 13A's are the updated...

I love my Summits, but am finding that there's something of a "bloom" somewhere in the mid-range that can make for some uncomfortable listening. No amount of fiddling with the bass loudness adjustments have any impact on this bloom. As there's no modern EQ available on the Summit I wondered if...

And yes, I did search for 'Summits vs. Spires' but couldn't find much. I didn't even know about the Spires until someone offered me a pair for HALF of what my Summits cost me. The Spires appear to offer newer technology, but are they in fact better? The Home Theatre review says they are. Has...

As a first-time owner of a pair of MLs that have bass amps (my previous MLs have been entry-level) I've noticed that when they "switch off" after five minutes of inactivity there's a crunchy noise as they turn off. Are they supposed to do this, or is the operation usually silent?

I've encountered an issue with my just-purchased supposedly 'new' Summits that I'm hoping someone might provide some advice on. My Summits were purportedly bought eight years ago and stored the whole time in their boxes, as the owner had moved into a too-small house to have them set up. So, I...

Hi there, so the Summits I just bought didn't have jumper clips. The only jumper clips I've got are these, which on my Theos I could insert through the hole on the binding post. But the Summit has no such hole. So my question is this: will they work if I just tighten the binding posts on the...

I'm confused by the proliferation of ML models these days. What is the current equivalent of the discontinued Summit? Or is there one?

I've recently acquired an as-new pair of Theos and have been luxuriating in their incredible sound. Having previously owned a pair of Puritys for 10 years (and really loved them) my experience with the Theos has been full of "wow!" moments: a much bigger and more expansive sound picture, loads...

I recently posted about the Theos I bought to replace my Puritys, and the poor bass I was getting from the Theos. I subsequently replaced with a better amp (a second-hand Bel Canto... I'm on a tight budget) and I have to report that my problem wasn't the Theos, it was my amp. The bass output of...

I recently upgraded from my Puritys to Theos, and very happy with the much, much better overall sound dispersion from the panels - they practically had me in raptures. But I'm very disappointed with the bass, which is quoted the same as the Puritys but is actually really underwhelming. The...

Hi there, I've owned and loved my ML Purity since 2010 but thinking about buying a good condition pair of Theos, and wondering what the expert opinion is about the differences in sound between the two. The specs state that the bass on both goes down to 23Hz but the Purity's have fulsome bass...

Hi Martin Logan fanatics. Is there someone out there who is qualified to give me advice on Purity vs. Prodigy? I've owned a pair of Purity speakers since 2010, and love them to death. They never fail to give me pleasure. But of course, I always think: maybe I could do better. And the thing is...

Can anyone direct me to a discussion on the relative comparative merits of different generations/models of Martin Logan speakers? I own a pair of Puritys (2007, discontinued) and LOVE them but, as I sometimes test hi-fi gear for a magazine, would really like the flexibility of NOT having an...

Hi ML fans. I live way down in New Zealand, and had heard and lusted over MLs several times while editing a local magazine that revolved around the subjects of home theatre and hi-fi. I finally got the chance to buy myself a pair when the company distributing ML in NZ stopped doing so (sadly)...

Hi MLC discussers! I recently bought my first pair of Martin Logan speakers, the powered Purity. Having edited a hi-fi magazine in New Zealand, I had been lucky enough to audition ML speakers, but they had always been out of my price range. The Purity came to me out of a misfortune: the local...
