Thanks for the extensive reply! Not only did you make me feel good about the ML's, you also made my day listing Parasound amps. I just bought a Parasound A21+ about 4 months ago (6-months-old, got it for half price). It replaced 30-year-old B&K mono blocks.

I keep hearing great things about Quad speakers on various forums. I've never had a chance to hear them and there does not seem to be any stores that sell them in the US, at least in Texas. How do the latest from both companies compare?

I got ORC for free because it was given to early buyers of BACCH. I believe it now costs $1,000 to add it. I don't know how it compares to other room correction programs, but I get an almost flat frequency response in my large room.

I run ARC on my 13a's. BACCH doesn't affect it because its main purpose is to eliminate crosstalk. BACCH recently added ORC (Optimal Room Correction) to its program. It's an add-on at a cost. It does a nice job of flattening the response line in my room.

Easily done. The program screen has three filter tabs and a bypass tab. You can instantaneously compare. And the difference is very noticeable.

Sorry, but you are wrong. It has been around for years, but not as beneficial as this. This is nothing like headphones and binaural recordings. Headphones keep the sound stage in your head. This widens the sound stage in your room. You don't need special recordings to benefit. Almost all...

Actually, BACCH works especially well with ML electro-stats. I have 13a's. The more directive the speaker the better. The XTC measurements I'm getting are between 13 and 17 dB, considerably higher than a lot of dynamic speakers get. The 3-D effect is much better, the width of the sound stage is...

I'm really sold on this program, especially since ORC was added. I would love to hear it on a pair of CLX speakers.

Interesting...I assume they cost a lot more than what I paid in Texas.

I noticed they aren't listing their speaker prices on their website. I am in France on vacation, so maybe the prices don't show up here?

I noticed that they praised the blending of the woofers with the panels. I still read on other forums that ML's have a noticeable crossover. Supposedly the wave pattern differences between dynamic and ESL speakers make it impossible to blend

I'm sure it's all about profit and not "core values". https://www.cepro.com/news/paradigm_anthem_martinlogan_sold/

I've finally gotten through the learning curve of setting it up. Being a non-computer type, it took a couple of sessions with Edgar (developer of the product) to get proficient. The website makes it look pretty overwhelming, but most of what you see on the screen you never touch. The difference...

Just get a gallon or two of distilled water. Pour it over the panels from all directions. Let them dry for a few hours, rotating a few times, then use a hair dryer at low temperature, moving constantly. Worked great for me the ten years I owned my Ascents.

Nope, just in the corner. Lower left.

Wow! Never in a million years would/could I take on a project like that. Major props!

Happened to me. Wife spilled wine from a coffee table, hitting one of my Ascent's. I immediately tried to dry it. When we turned it back on, nothing. Used a vacuum. Nothing. Finally, came here and was given the advice that there was probably a small amount somewhere at the base of the panel...

My Audiophile version (with head tracking) finally comes in on the 26th. Of course we're leaving for Europe the next day... I got to hear it last week on a Youtuber's system, Audiophile Junkie. Look up some of his videos. He got so much out of it he became a dealer. He didn't play any of the...

I use Blue Jean (Belden) cables, just because I wanted professionally made cables. How can a cable be "slow"? Does it slow down the speed of light to an audible difference? And it still amazes me that audiophiles will spend thousands of dollars on cables and interconnects and still balk at...
