    Ear Pain from ESL's.

    Before you go and spend lot of money on new amp [as Denon 6700 is quite OK [just check all the usual wrong setting people do - ECO, 4ohms setting [should be 8] - I would not expect it to clip at normal listening levels. I would try to do some measurements in REW, so that you understand where is...

    ML uses inadequate power cables?

    @amey01 - power/digital/etc. cables and their benefits, it is equivalent of homeopathy. Either you believe in it or not. No technical argument will ever convince those that hear the differences.

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    Yes, when you combine it with some REW experience - it is indifinitely tweakable. And customer service is next level - replying to emails on weekend, offering remote assistance if needed etc etc Interestingly - their Head of Customer Care - Antoine, is a specialist on dipoles/electrostats setup...

    @ttocs - TRINNOV Bass Management Special for you. [as trying to describe everything you can do I would probably spend next 3 weeks just typing]. I will be referring to MiniDsp/MSO, Audyssey as reference points and to channel count of 20, which is my current config, expandable up to 48 for around...

    My New C18 Focus Center Speaker!

    I have the same problem [and actually had similar with my previous Motion 50XT, so it looks like some nasty cancellation from MLP and Stand]. My problem is that I can move only within approx. 20 cm forwards or backwards. I will experiment with adding some reflective surface on the floor. DRC helps,

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    While I was expecting some improvement over 50XT, I need to admit, that I am just shocked how much better C18 is. [and subsequently how much of performance of my system I was throwing away all that time]. I also love how physically imposing it is.

    ML uses inadequate power cables?

    Hey, let's keep this beautiful forum "cable free". I think there are enough other places where we can discuss this contentious topic. My life experience - never try to convince audiophile, that it is not possible to hear smth. You know, we are different to the rest of the humans and our...

    Expression 13A, Source, Motion series Atmos tops and sides

    As per popular demand ;-) - 2x 4channel Ncore, 1 Stereo Ncore , L-C-R powered by Purifi Re TRINNOV - will put something together. But [with my experience being deep with Audyssey, less deep with Dirac, and a bit with ARC] - this is the only DRC that makes ML sound better in mid/treble. But...

    Some recent changes to the set-up - added 1x 1600x + 1100X for 7.4.4 but most importantly -> this is new brain of my system - Trinnov AV preamp, and anybody talking superlatives is not exxagerating ... + complete Purifi/Ncore amplification. This Room Optimizer DRC is just somethinf else.

    ML uses inadequate power cables?

    I use simple EC [UEL] certified shielded cables. Nothing fancy, just as a hygienic precaution, as I have speaker cable runs for my HT next to them [I have also shielded cables in the walls]. Not expecting them to perform any better that stock cable delivered by ML. I have couple of...

    Another Martin Logan price increase coming August 1st.

    I was on the fence for some time - but I have pulled the trigger and C18 it is. Will be picking it up next week. I think it is fitting center to my ESL13 and Trinnov.

    2021 new gen Apple tv 4k Dolby Atmos Problems

    Another new TRINNOV/ML Owner here. I can only confirm, that it sounds amazing - quick q. please, do you have any "secret tips" for ML's in Optimizer settings? I am pretty familiar with TRINNOV, just do not want to spend next 3 years searching for some hidden option, that is intended specifically...

    Anthem AVM 70 as replacement for Emotiva XMC-1 processor?

    I would say - if you plan to stick with 5.1 setup AVM70 is maybe even an overkill. There even simple Denon/Marantz with pre-amp functionality will do similar job for much less money. Especially Denons seem to be very well engineered. If the design is not broken - what really differentiates 2...

    Martin Logan 13A's and a subwoofer pairing question.

    Always good thing to do is do a crosscheck vie REW, you have UMIK, so this should be no extra cost for you. Especially in bass region - it all sounds nice and good, but REW can identify issued that are still there, and you can target them and bring it to another level. I also you use DRC...

    Martin Logan 13A's and a subwoofer pairing question.

    Proper set-up, placement and properly applied DRC is in most of the cases the real difference between 2 setups. Not Ported vs Sealed [if you are in the same quality ballpark] @ttocs I also use MiniDsp/MSO as a simulation tool and then punch in the gains/delays/PEQ into the AVP manually, one...

    Martin Logan 13A's and a subwoofer pairing question.

    sorry, this is me not being clear - this is an option in my AV processor, you can route bass signal to whatever speaker you choose, does not have to be just subwoofer. And I am using my 13A as the fronts so instead of doing crossover and sending everything below 80Hz to SW, I have chosen to send...

    Martin Logan 13A's and a subwoofer pairing question.

    This is my set-up [not 100% precise] but approx. Distance of Fronts is approx 2.4m, 1.2m from rear wall, speaker to MLP 2.8m and MLP from back wall 1.5m. Subs randomly scattered, based on REW + bit of meaurement. Bass secton DRC'd fully by MSO results punched into Room Optimizer [1x1600, 2x1100...

    Martin Logan 13A's and a subwoofer pairing question.

    Yes, it is, my audiophile life has 2 periods - before and after REW. [and of course before and after ML]

    Martin Logan 13A's and a subwoofer pairing question.

    I have one sub [1100] behind my sofa and I think it makes nice bass envelope around me. It is dialed 6dB lower than the rest of them. it has opposite phase as front subs and it smoothes the overall response. It was actually outcome of REW sub simulation tool to place it there
