I'd suggest getting an external power amp to drive your ESL's. Doesn't have to be mega$$$... you can find some great deals on second-hand amps. I'd recommend Anthem MCA 20 or 225, Bryston 4B-ST or 4B-SST, etc. Your Denon should have line-outs for each channel - you can use those to feed the...

What worked pretty well for me is: Heavy 24"X24" flagstones (terracotta, slate, etc., depending on ability to lift heavy objects and budget!). I placed large felt pads under the stones, and then used the ML spikes under the speakers, resting on the stones. The stone weight was between 70 and...

I get that, but the external amp is not going to see an open- or short-circuit at the lower frequencies... I'm assuming there is a crossover that presents the equivalent of the speaker's nominal impedance as a resistive load...?

Agreed, but isn't the amp still presented with a "load" at those frequencies?

Cool! They could probably use your enthusiasm at some of the Magnolia locations! Enjoy your tunes...

Wow... Just wow... Oh, and if you happen to need a pool-boy...

At risk of stating the obvious, a whole-house surge protector is an often-overlooked but very worthwhile acquisition! I got the previous version of this Siemans unit a couple of years back...

I'll join in as a former audio techie/sales guy (a long, long time ago when I was in HS and college). For amplification and speakers, I've always visited the used market. For most of the last 20+ years, I've been switched on to Bryston amps (4B-ST's in particular, 9B-ST for HT). Those...

Hi. Beautiful room! A lot of great input has been provided regarded positioning and room treatment. I am not THAT familiar with the ESL-X, but (there's always one of those, right?!) I would seriously consider adding a beefy power amp to the mix. Not about loudness in your room, but just...

When you say "Bi-amping", could you give some more detail on your configuration? Do you have 4 X Krell 350's? If so, how are you splitting the frequencies between amplification channels? Thanks

Got a link or any other reference material?

Something to consider is the good ol' Panel Washing (there's a dedicated thread on the subject here: https://www.martinloganowners.com/threads/martin-logan-shower-cleaning-pdf.12584/ There will be slight differences for different models, but searching (and emailing ML for a user guide on...

Looking at the stats and power supply of the Fosi's, probably not a great match. As mentioned above, older Anthem MCA or Bryston 4BST/SST will get you there. I know the Class D aficionado's will clobber me for this, but if your power amp power supply doesn't weigh 20+lb, probably not going to...

Referencing the chimes on Dark Side of the Moon... I always thought Alan Parsons produced Dark side, but it seems he was a sound engineer. Most of the whacky, high quality effects were products of his fertile mind. Apparently he was not aware that he could ask for a "slice of the pie", and was...

@DanR Wow - that was quite an offer! I wish (a) I lived in the area, and (b) I had ANY disposable income right now! GLWS Russ

You should be able to find several (ebay, audiogon, etc.), BUT: 1) Make sure they have original boxes/packaging 2) Find out if they have original or replacement panels. You can ask for the PANEL (as opposed to, but in addition to the speaker) serial #'s - there's a serial decoder on here...

Anything about it in the literature? Might be a Paint Baffle, or something like that?

@ESLFan - If Mr Wright did have info on the web, you can try using the "WayBack machine"... it has been crawling and archiving website info for decades! https://help.archive.org/help/using-the-wayback-machine/ This is a fascinating thread... thanks for sharing

I would've thought that they would start off with a pretty significant chunk of FLACs (originally rendered in FLAC or converted from MQA to FLAC), and then perform "conversions-on-demand" - i.e. as you select a (MQA) file to play, it gets converted to FLAC, stored & streamed to you (assuming...

Matter of interest, what was the cost associated with the Crossover work described above?
