Exactly this - and it is materially noticeable. I have a Pass Int 60 which doesn't have balance control, but it wouldn't work anyway as the sound is not a few decibels different - rather the frequency spectrum is different. Moreover, I only had the speakers for 2.5 years; I'm going to do...

Thanks for your advice - but it's one of those situations where it is undoubtedly the panel. I out my ear up to each with pink noise and the sound is so much different from panel to panel it's really not even necessary to test it with an SPL meter, and as I am putting my ear up to the panel...

No, transparently I didn’t go that far. I played pink noise, but the difference was so significant and obvious between the top 8 inches of each panel, that beyond a normal SPL meter, I didn’t go further to check it. If you listened to it up at the panel you would know what I mean; there are no...

That's what I thought. Every pair of high end speakers or headphones I have - if a driver goes out it's replaced in pairs. My dealer has been working with Martin Logan (and my dealer is very trustworthy), and they said Martin Logan came back with the offer to replace one under warranty. I...

No I don’t live in a humid area, and it’s air conditioned all the time. I think it’s just a freak defect. Basically the top 8 inches of the panel is much lower in volume than the rest. I’ve played pink noise to compare both panels, and the highs are gone in the 8 inches of space on the left...

Hi All - I have a partial panel defect in my left 13a panel. I've verified with my dealer as we swapped transformers and it's the panel. They are 2.5 years into a 5 year warranty. Does Martin Logan provide panels in pairs for warranty replacement, or do they only provide individual panels? I...

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Has anyone tried the Vinnie Rossi L2i SE integrated amp with Martin Logans or other Electrostatic speakers? It has a DHT preamp stage that uses 300Bs, and a 100wpc Class AB solid state amplifier. It also has a voltage switch so you can use other DHTs...

I really enjoyed the Mogami 3103; it was my second favorite of all the cables I tried: pro and audiophile. Ultimately I settled on Canare 4s11, as I found it a little smoother than the Mogami. The Mogami had more sparkle. It's completely subjective which one you prefer. I wonder if I liked the...

It's an age old debate, we can agree to disagree. That said, what I was specifically referring too was some higher end cables that have a more romantic tuning. They're playing with some of the characteristics of the wire for a house sound. But if it's not flat, even if it's pleasing - I have...

These are not cheap! Just looked up and $2,100 for 3 meters. A bit more than I want to spend, but if it ends the journey ...

I can pull the plugs out, but they are nordost red dawn power cables which are a bit of a tight fit. So it's just a PITA to do so each time I want to swap cable. It's the most minor of problems - just wanted to understand. Thanks for the comment - what you described is what I was thinking.

That's what I've figured. At the very least, I gotta think it's a bad idea to pull out cables with the amp/preamp off, if the stators are on, because that means the amp is on - and though unlikely, If I accidentally short the wires I could blow the sub on the MLs. I "think" it should be ok if...

Incidentally - and not sure anyone knows the answer know the answer to this: can I unplug speaker cables from a powered down amp, with my speakers still plugged in? I have big power cords that are a pain to plug in and take out, but my assumption is I have to unplug them because of the subwoofer...

Thank you. So many cable to try, so many variables. Completely agree that some higher end cables sound great on some music, and are not very good on others. There is no free lunch. If it pulls out some frequencies somewhere, something is gonna suffer. I have a lot of good pro cable and a...

@twich54 I keep hearing about signal cables again and again - and you're right, they certainly don't cost an arm and a leg. What is it about them that you particularly like? Also - after reading up around the forums, I believe you started with Mogami 3082 at one point. What made you switch to...

I'm still going back and forth with all the cables I have on hand, and I'm focusing on the frequency balance primarily. I'm glad I decided to finally plug in the Canare 4s11, because my initial impression is I might like it best. That said, I've just listened to it for 30 min - so early...

Will check it out, thank you! Look, I completely understand there is a science to these things - and it should sound best (or at least work best) given the parameters you’ve outlined. That said, In my experience some wire sounds good and some doesn’t (whether it's ESLs or Dynamic speakers) - and...

Thanks! Unfortunately on the other side of the country in NY. I’ll give them a call and see if they can do anything for me.

Thanks for detailing your experience. I actually got the 3082 first, and like them quite a bit. In my system at least, the main difference is the 3103 is more extended in the treble, and the presence region was pushed back a bit on some recordings with the 3082. In general the 3082 has a bit of...

Thank you! My setup is Lumin U1 > Chord Dave/Hugo M Scaler > Pass Int 60 > ML 13As. I am in the midst of trying out a variety of speaker cables, which is why I was particularly interested in your topic. For interconnects between the Dave and Pass, I need a 20-25 ft run of balanced XLR, because...
