    Are 13a's dipole?

    The opposed woofers aren't dipoles, but they use some phase trickery to optimize overall bass performance... IMHO, the integration of the woofers and stat panel in the newer Masterpiece series is the most seamless they've achieved to date.

    Martin Logan 13A's and a subwoofer pairing question.

    I suggest waiting until you have the 13A's in the new room, and run them alone, with ARC Genesis, to first see how they interact with the room. You can tweak speaker and listening positions, and then decide how much additional bass you need (assuming you will) with the open floor plan. If you...

    Russian tubes go 'Bye-Bye' for now.......

    Take her over to Audioseduction (George's) new abode with 15A's in a dedicated listening room, and sit down with her to listen. She'll pull off all her jewelry and demand you trade it in for a Pass amp (or monoblocks)! :love:

    Russian tubes go 'Bye-Bye' for now.......

    Looks like the Russian tube blockade has been resolved, to some extent, but with huge price increases coming... Tung-Sol 5881 Power Tube | 5881 TUNGSOL | Electro-Harmonix

    New Anthem processors and receivers debut!

    As with PBK enabled ML's, you still need to run ARC Genesis on a computer with the Anthem MRX and AVM series. Not sure about their STR separates. WRT your incompatible laptop, perhaps the new Beta fixed that.

    Russian tubes go 'Bye-Bye' for now.......

    There are already lots of threads on various Audiophile Forums decrying the Russian tube blockade. I posted at AudioShark mainly to get the perspective of owner/dealer Mike, and many of the regulars there who have very high end tube gear like VAC, others. Fortunately, my stereo amp (C-J...

    New Anthem processors and receivers debut!

    FYI, the latest Anthem Room Correction Genesis beta is now available... ARC: Beta Downloads I doubt if it offers anything new for compatible ML speakers, except perhaps minor bug fixes. However, paired with the new firmware download for their newest Anthem MRX and AVM series, it adds automated...

    Hello Fellow Music Lovers

    Glad you found audio nirvana! I too, love the combination of a C-J tube preamp (CT5, in my case) and C-J Premier 350 powering ML's!

    Interesting MBL Extreme system (apparently replaced ML Statements)

    Interesting profile of a New Orleans audio/videophile system... 'I could power the Acura Stage at Jazz Fest pretty easily': An audiophile's Garden District home Towards the end of the article he says he might relocate his former ML Statements to one of the movie theaters he owns! He certainly...

    Mic for ARC Genesis

    I got one of the new mic's with my Anthem MRX 740 receiver. I haven't compared it with the older plastic mic, but suspect they both have the same performance for frequencies <500 Hz, which is all you need for optimizing bass in the Masterpiece series. I suspect the new mics might offer more...

    Axpona

    I'm thinking about it. However, first up is the Florida Audio Expo this weekend, in Tampa. Muraudio and Soundlab are listed as exhibitors, but unfortunately not ML.

    Should I be wary of the DSP in newer ML speakers?

    I echo JonFo's perspective. My ESL 13A's have far better bass performance and integration with the panel, vs. the Summit's they replaced.

    Anthem MRX 540

    I have an MRX 740, that I use for home theater, with pre-out to my C-J 350 amp, powering my 13A's. I don't know how it would do alone powering the ML's. Thus far, despite some persistent bugs, it's been fine for home theater. It does a decent job integrating my two (dual mono) BF210 subs, but...

    What veneer have I got?

    Looks like Dark Cherry, but your picture isn't very clear. Could also be Bubinga. The Summit X offered the same veneers, so you can compare here... https://www.martinlogan.com/uploads/documents/brochures/brochure_summit_x.pdf

    Sold Perfect Bass Kit ($40 + shipping)

    I have an extra ML Perfect Bass Kit lying around that's only been used twice. I no longer need it because my Anthem MRX 740 also came with one. Hopefully one of you with the newer Masterpiece models (or BF subs) can use it. The kit now retails for $120, but you can have it for $40 + shipping...

    System #55 (Expression 13A's)

    I use a multi-channel receiver (Anthem MRX 740) for TV/Movies, to feed center (and surround) speakers. As expected, TV and movie dialog is substantially better. I'm also currently experimenting with it as my Preamp (via front speaker Pre outs), feeding my CJ amplifier and Expressions, as well...

    Expression 13A Bass Driver works panel silent

    Does the green power light turn on? Assuming you ruled out upstream pre/amp problem by swapping, next step would be to contact ML for advice. It could be something as simple as a loose connection, or alternatively a bad power supply.

    Just got a pair of 13a's. I'm now trying to use the ML PBK.

    Actually, if you run ARC Genesis in Professional (Advanced) Mode, you can manually tweak the DSP bass processing. However, unless you really understand what you're doing, I'd start with just manually adjusting the bass settings on the speaker itself. Of course, overall bass response is...
