I want to bi-amp my SL3's but doing it passively is tough due to mismatched amps I also have a subwoofer in the system running anything <80Hz due to room issues (long story !) I am using an Arcam AVR350 as a pre and bass/sub controller driving the SL3's via a Sunfire 300x2 amp (also have a...

Yes, good advice Jonfo - thanks I loved tubes with my old Proacs but surprisingly they weren't great with the SL3's. Maybe underpowered at 30W class A? Now time to move on one of the amps methinks and stick with the other....

Did you see a big step with a Krell ? I have the sunfire in place and it seems like a very good amp but I can't really pick out too much difference v the Lyngdorf. I think I have become an amp sceptic ! With my previous non ESL speakers I played around with many SS amps before concluding there...

I'm not sure about the relative current outputs, looks like the Lyngdorf can get 40 Amps max - not sure about the sunfire although I have seen 240 Amps peak (really ?) quoted at very low impedence

Any thoughts on a Sunfire 300 x2 (non signature) amp to drive a pair of SL3's ? I have read some good and not so good stuff about this amp and that it is very tolerant of the low impedance that the ES panels can present. I am using a sub <80hz so it doesn't need to work too hard at the bottom...

thanks for the suggestions! That particular Emotiva sounds good but is too expensive. On the impedence at high freq. not sure about the exact A30 specs but there could be something in that as its top end that is isn't quite as lively. Had a suggestion also for a Bel Canto EVO 200.2 - is this...

I did try that and found my solid state Lyngdorf 100W class D was slightly better for the panels alone. I mainly put that down to lack of power as the SL3's are the only speaker where any SS amp (and I have tried many) has bettered my A30 (large Proacs, MA, Triangle. PMC and other 'standard'...

Looking to upgrade my old amp to a pair of power / integrated amps to bi-amp my Martin Logan SL3's. I prefer a smoother, musical style of amp - harsh, clinical and 'hifi' is not what I am after My Puresound A30 valve integrated has easily been my favourite amp driving my old Proac 2.5 to give...

Noob question so apologies in advance! Can I disconnect my SL3 woofer and use a subwoofer instead ? Goal is to improve bass response by being able to position sub in a better location in my room. How do I handle crossover ? Do I just need a sub that has a response of more than 250hz? Any...

So I need a sub with a > 250hz cross over and simply use the sub instead of the woofer on the SL3?

hi guys, Thanks for all the tips, I was kinda waiting on 'after 10 years they will most likely be on the way out' but it seems that is not always true and can last a lot longer with some care. Tosh - when you say you have gone active on bass - are you now using a sub and not using the bass on...

Total newbie to ML speakers but loving the older pair of SL3's I picked up recently.:rocker: I read a lot about ES panels and how they need replaced after a certain period of time or they deteriorate badly in performance. Question is...how will I know ? These are the only ML's I have ever...

Hi everyone, Now the proud owner an fine pair of SL3's and quite superb they sound too ! Looking forward to learning a bit more about ML, how to optimise set up and connect with other ML owners :music:
