For those not familiar, Dennis Chern was formerly the Eastern Sales Manager for ML, but I believe he's now retired. Nice to see him posting here. Looking forward to hearing his perspectives as a former ML insider!

Getting back on topic... Joey V is an E.R. doc in Texas and, I believe, married with kids. I reached out to him in 2017, hoping to catch up with him at Axpona that year. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to attend. Like many of us at that age, between career and family, there's probably little...

If ML can give you the specs (ideally manufacturer too) of the Abyss 12" driver, you might find a comparable replacement here... Woofers, Subwoofers, Bass Units Archives | Speaker Exchange Alternatively, you could send them the damaged one and have them rebuild it.

I'm thinking of getting Paul's book and test disk. Unfortunately, I was a backer for Jim Smith's Through the Sound Barrier Kickstarter campaign 10 years ago. It raised over $92,000, but he never delivered the videos and test disks. He stopped posting updates over a year ago, but never offered...

Interesting idea Brad! I'll try that, with a laser pointer taped onto the horizontal portion of the square, and placed at the center of the panel. I'll sit at the main listening position, have my wife aim the laser at me, to see if it hits above or below my ears. I can adjust rake angle...

That helps! Looking closely at the video, it's apparently a Luxman L-507Z... L-507Z | INTEGRATED AMPLIFIERS | PRODUCTS | LUXMAN | Seeking higher sound quality and retails for $8,995. Class AB 110W (8Ω) and 210W (4Ω), which I presume is sufficient for that smaller room. If it sounded bad...

I didn't attend this year, but looking at this video of the ML Renaissance setup, it's pretty clear they're poorly set up. They're clearly too large for the room, and too close to the window. I can't tell what amp or integrated they're using. Looking at the Axpona 2023 website, I see ML...

About 9 months ago I installed outdoor speakers from OSD in our (covered) lanai... https://www.outdoorspeakerdepot.com/180w-8-inch-outdoor-patio-speaker-pair-black-white-ap850.html The OSD AP850's are relatively inexpensive (manufactured in China), but sound great, with more bass than the 20...

After unplugging for 24 hrs, you can quickly dissipate any residual charge by playing music until they are silent, then clean them.

The Wiim Pro is better, since it includes digital coax output (so you can use a higher quality DAC), and ethernet connectivity vs. WiFi/Bluetooth and Toslink only for the Mini. The Wiim Pro ($150) is even better, as it includes ethernet connectivity (and other upgrades) vs. the original Wiim...

I recall some poster on another forum stating that the "new" ML Masterpiece line frames were flimsy, and would "flap around" if played at high levels! :oops: Crazy what people come up with! Unfortunately, I have heard some poor ML demo's at audio shows, including some even set up by ML Reps...

From John Atkinsons/Stereophile measurement's of the Renaissance 15A's... Fig.4 shows what I found. (The Bass Level was set to 0dB for all the measurements.) The red trace is the spatially averaged response without Anthem Room Correction applied to the woofers, the blue trace with ARC. You can...

Sorry. Guess I misread. Perhaps the surge protector you were using also has a connected equipment warranty.

Mogrub, I think you initially mentioned the speakers (and center) were plugged into a SurgeX protector, but you later edited that post and deleted the SurgeX reference. If you were in fact using a SurgeX protector, the damage might be covered under their 5 year connected equipment warranty...

Running ARC Genesis for your ML mains and subs first will optimize their in-room frequency response. Subsequently, RoomPerfect should have less work to do for those, and will add time alignment/phase corrections for the entire system. However, after my brief perusal of McIntosh's implemention...

OK, so you're using a McIntosh MX180 processor with Lyngdorf RoomPerfect. I'm not really familiar with the Lyngdorf approach, but I'm sure it's good. I'd first run ARC Genesis for your 15A's, and each sub (or daisy-chained combinations, if any), then let RoomPerfect do it's thing. I presume...

Not sure what you mean with together vs. separate? If you use the ethernet-type cable to temporarily connect both 15A's when running ARC-Genesis, it still measures (and corrects) each speaker independently. Connecting them just simplifies the procedure, but has no bearing on outcome. Re...

The dual 10" woofers on the Expressions go down to 24 Hz, with extremely tight bass, that is superbly time aligned with the panels, except for the wide bass null at main listening position. Adding one BF210 sub (behind the sofa) adequately fills in the bass null, while slightly muddying the...

I'm doing something similar, with a pair of ML BF210's placed behind our sofa, described in this post. However, I'm only using one of the subs for 2 channel listening, as adding the second (daisy chained from the first) actually muddied things up a bit. However, for Home Theater, I am feeding...

The Sanders Mogami 3082 cables arrived today. They're ~1/4" diameter black cables, quite flexible, and nicely terminated with gold plated spades on both ends (as I wanted). They're not "fancy schmancy" but their performance speaks for itself. Before a listening comparison, I did a quick XTZ...
