If I remember correctly, there was a lot of work done on the integration between panel & bass between the ReQuest and the SL3. I agree with you about the "bulging/about-to-fall-over" look of the Ascents!

Great to hear, Robert! So, the old "Work smart" adage applies here! A couple of questions/tips: What kind of flooring is the amp on? If carpet, get a short (12"-18") dowel/stick/lever. Have some pieces of cardboard handy (cut up old Amazon boxes or something like that). Making sure not to be...

I was just about to write a msg very much like T-Bone... not sure what the weather is like where you are at. Here in Houston, we get pop-up thunderstorms all the time. The closest utility switch-yard to me gets hit pretty much every time. I used to lose electronics with infuriating...

No intention to "smother" you, RD, but probably best to ask your local dealer to come along & either grab the whole box or the power/am board(s) ... you probably shouldn't even be manhandling that "lil" box while recuperating! Good luck with the repair... could be power supply, could be...

Some might say I am biased, but... I'd sugget the SL3's with the new panels. Save some $$$ there, and as mentioned above, invest in a decent Center speaker. The MRX 720 is more than capable of driving it (I was using a 520 to drive my SL3/Stage/Arius HT setup, and it sounded GREAT. If you can...

@khenegar - glad to hear you're looking to dabble with streaming! Can you let us know what equipment you have, and maybe a bit about what connections you have available (or maybe just those that you have used).

Hi IM(H)O, you will be hard-pressed to find a Receiver that comes close to the Aragon in terms of handling the MLs with authority/guts/balls, etc. I was a Onkyo fan for a while, and had the PR-SC 885 (I think that was the model number) for a while. I chose it because it had balanced outputs, a...

Jimbill, IM(H)O, it really doesn't mean a damn thing what other folks think. I fell in love with ML's (yes, yes... for the couchtrippers out there, maybe I was in love with "the idea of ML's"!) while I was a penniless student. Roll the clock forward a couple of decades and I got a nice (for me)...

Anyone know if these devices introduce phasing problems? I assume there's SOME kind of lag due to wireless connection? Russ

@Jazzman53 I really like what you've doing, but I DO think it's pretty poor form to hijack (yes, you did) a thread in this fashion. The OP asked about a comparison of the sound before/after re-paneling his speakers. That does NOT equate to "Hey, here's another option that may/may not be of...

Awesome job and love that sign! Matter of interest question: When considering the cable lengths, etc., did you do an analysis on placing the amp(s) with the speakers (almost like an active system) using balanced signal cables from pre/pro to amps? I've been torn about that myself... ended up...

I'm fortunate enough to have a pair of SL3's I bought in 2002 basically new. Later that year due to some electrical faults in my new home, I ended up getting new panels, power supplies, crossovers, etc., all funded by the idiots who installed the electrical system in my home! I felt nothing...

Hi K! I'm not sure how you're doing from a mobility perspective (both ambulatory and vehicular), but here are some ideas: Disclaimer(!) : I think the pursuit of perfection here could definitely be the enemy of pretty-damn-good-enough! Don't over-do things... So, a while back when I was forced...

Hi folks Just a quick note about Maggies/Magnapans when compared to ML/ESLs in general: While they sort-of have a similar form-factor, the mechanism/technology of the Maggies is totally different from MLs. Yes, they are both planar-looking dipoles. They both use Mylar membranes. That's...

Does it seem/look like the panels are damaged? That's probably the single biggest factor in repair/replace decision...

What codecs are being used to decode the audio stream for your movies (THX, Atmos, etc.)? There should be a "lip sync" setting (measured in + / - milli-seconds) in the receiver setup.

But soft, what sweet Bit ... By any other name... Is still just a Bit. That darling little particle/wave hurtling/propagating charge/EMF down that cable/fiber careth not one jot if it's a lowly printer Bit or a MegaBuck sound system Bit. It's a bit. A Binary digIT. A Zero. Or a One. According...

BTW, folks, my comments about USB cables were just that - about USB cables. I'm not going to talk about analog signal carrying cables... as everyone has kind-of agreed on, there just no telling what my ears vs. your ears are sensitive to, etc. The thing I take huge issue with is gold-plating...

Sorry, but while I really try contain myself when discussions of cables come up, I simply cannot "listen" to stuff about things like USB cables affecting audio quality. NO. PERIOD. References: https://www.usb.org/ Google terms: USB Error detection Error checking Error correction CRC (Cyclic...

With all the bracing you have there, I'm thinking cabinet resonance might not have a chance... are you thinking of any kind of sound-dampening material, or just going to wait & see how the boxes perform? For reference:
