In case this thread is useful for anyone in the future, I've burned in the Atlantic 3 DAC (no volume control, fully balanced version) and started burning in a few different sets of tubes and a number of rectifiers: KR KT-88s Sophia Electric "Long Life" KT-88s Sophia Electric EL34s I'm on a...

I was considering the CODA 8 or Pass XA30.8 to pair with my 15As at one point, but I went a different direction. If you have a quality amp that can handle the 2 ohm load properly, I seriously doubt you need 100 watts. That said, one of my rules in life is "better to have it and not need it...

I think that may have been based on earlier versions, unless you were listening within the last year. The development of the Baltic and Horizon, which I believe are their newest models, led to their new digital “Engine 11” which was then added to the Atlantic and possibly other models. While...

I won't speak for ttocs, but I use ARC before my other DSP corrections. For home theater, that gets into MSO (Multi Sub Optimizer) for integrating with my MiniDSP then I use Dirac DSP corrections for my home theater playback. Since I *don't* use DSP for 2-channel playback, after ARC I dial...

Calling @ttocs! His experience is with Dirac as opposed to MultEQ, but he has tested limiting the DSP frequency range and running it full spectrum, and may be able to offer a useful opinion for you.

Oh yeah - been there, done that since well before the purchase. I was only pinging here to see if any fellow Martin Logan owners had gone that route with feedback to share. Thanks Gordon.

Thanks RJ! I totally get it. I'm largely SS with a small smattering of tubes. (The PS Audio M1200s have a tube input, and obviously the Lampi DAC.) I continue to be wowed by this product, especially in combination with the Grimm MU1. I keep telling myself "go to bed", but then listen to...

If @khenegar could give us a sense of budget and the current equipment in their system, we can probably offer more meaningful suggestions. I know when I first started looking into streaming, it seemed incredibly complicated. It can be if you're trying to maximize performance in every way...

Following up on this: I did make the decision to order their Atlantic 3 TRP (fully balanced option, no volume control.) The US distributors (lampizator.com) offer a 7-day trial period, and they extended it a few days so I'd have two weekends to install it and start the break-in process...

Congratulations! I think you'll appreciate them all the more, after that long a wait.

That would be my guess too Robert, regarding the PBK mic location. @Russr, if it did, it wasn't anything outside the control of the room correction I used. I used ARC on all the subwoofers, then used Multi-Sub Optimizer and set up the details in my MiniDSP based on that, then finally ran...

I'm using the ML Wireless kit - I believe the SWT-X - on my 1100x at the back of my room, and I have two BF210s wired at the front. It all works quite well together. Unless there's some issue with the SWT-2 that ttocs mentions, it seems that's a more flexible solution. The transmitter is in...

I'm assuming by Receiver you mean for home theater use. My standard practice for that would be to run the room correction process when you initially set it up, but then re-run it after about 100-200 hours of use just in case anything changed due to break in. How's that for a neutral response? ;)

Careful. This is one of those "trigger" subjects... :eek:

I'm using Magnepan speakers for my surround and rear speakers, and the system sounds fantastic. I seriously doubt you'd find a significant improvement changing the brand of surround speakers unless your current surrounds are extremely frequency limited. Depending on your room correction...

You might want to compare the price with Shawn's price at DaVinci. He offers excellent pricing and support to forum members, and it may not be immediate satisfaction like this one, but possibly at a better price. @DaVinci Media is his account.

Good catch Robert. I edited my post.

I don’t have the direct experience you’re seeking, but I do have a C34A and it’s a fantastic center speaker. I seriously doubt you’d be disappointed with the purchase. It simply does nothing wrong in my experience. Is your purchase a used speaker? If so, do you have a return period to audition it?

Guys, I'm (almost) sorry I made the comment about cables! It sounds like @ejspain is quite happy with his new amps and not in the market for a DAC at the moment, and I think that's great. I also think it's great if anyone *listens* to various cables and makes educated choices on their personal...

Roger that. Duly noted.
