    hello from Roma Italy

    There is no price for pleasure-especially if it includes Martin Logan speakers. I will try to send you some CLS pleasure energy in the next few days. Raanan

    Primare Power amp match for ML Vantage

    I would try to put a few sheets of Sonex on the wall in back of the speakers,and also on the wall in back of the listener.You can try to put the speakers a bit closer to the wall in back of them.

    hello from Roma Italy

    Giacomo,Enjoy! I have an audio research VS-110 with CLS speakers.for the most refined sound,it is important to have good tubes in the amp.The best that I have found are the Genalex Gold Lion reissues.It is important to have the tubes fully tested before putting in the amp,as with audio Research...

    Mapleshade heavyfeet under CLSs-NO!!!

    I am also a great admirer of the Mapleshade CDs,which are amongst the best that I have ever heard in the medium-proof of Pierre's good taste and marvelous ears.Would that I could say the same about the heavyfeet.

    Mapleshade heavyfeet under CLSs-NO!!!

    The results that I received ,both with the CLSs and under my ARC VS-110,are strange indeed.On the one hand,with the heavyfeet under the amp,the sound cleaned up,especially the mid bass,but the price was slow attacks.As I consider the transients of the CLSs to be part of their charm and raison...

    Mapleshade heavyfeet under CLSs-NO!!!

    After extended listening:Under the amp-a big no Although I was impressed by the gain in bass definition and resolution,after extended listening:Placing the heavyfeet under my tube amp results in a pronounced softening and bloating of attacks and almost complete loss of PRAT.Altogether-a...

    Mapleshade heavyfeet under CLSs-NO!!!

    MS Heavyfeet under power amp-very very good! After initially being disappointed with the Heavyfeet under my CLSs-resulting in smeared sluggish sound,I tried 3 heavyfeet under my ARC VS-110,instead of the giant Polycrystal cones previously used,and the results are very good indeed.The thinnish...

    Mapleshade heavyfeet under CLSs-NO!!!

    At least he is consistent in his preferences.One of the well known tricks of tube afficianados is to mix tubes in order to get a balanced sound,in an attempt to avoid getting too much of a good thing. In that respect 2 possible candidates for mixing with MS are polycrystal cones and BGRs.

    Mapleshade heavyfeet under CLSs-NO!!!

    they screw in with the same 1/4 20 thread as the original spikes and the ETCs.I have also tried polycrystal cones,which mate very well with the CLSs. You won't believe how much of a difference the feet make.With the Mapleshade feet in place,I considered the CLSs unpleasant to listen to. I must...

    Mapleshade heavyfeet under CLSs-NO!!!

    Knowing that CLSs(with an additional sub+ tweeters) were in use at Mapleshade,I decided to heed the recommendation of Mapleshade's VP and try heavyfeet under my CLSs. Compared to the ETC spikes that had been in use until the Heavyfeet arrived,sound with the Heavyfeet sounded subjectively...

    Effect of high quality iso transformer on CLSs

    3Kva. Sound can sound fuller in 2 situations:1)Relative reduction of HF content compared to mids and lows,and 2)When there are more harmonics sound appears fuller. Needs some experience to hazard an educated guess which of the 2 we are experiencing.

    Effect of high quality iso transformer on CLSs

    Russ Dewalt built a 60 lb. isolation transformer for my main system-CLSs driven by an ARC VS-110 from 160 cps. up.He wounded the transformer,based on the long experience that he has accumulated from designing and making his 60 watt Triode SET monoblocks. As he said before we connected the...

    Isolation cone in lieu of rear floor spike

    Polycrystal cones under my CLSs gave a fuller,smoother sound with increased midbass. Some of the stock spikes that come with ML speakers are very thin sounding. I get good results with ETC spikes.

    Plug speakers into wall socket or power strip or conditioner

    My CLSs are plugged into a PS300.The resultant sound is a bit more refined, and I do not notice any downsides.
