I stumbled upon this recent interview with John Bagby (Co-CEO), discussing some future directions for Anthem/Paradigm/ML... https://essentialinstall.com/features/ei-interview-john-bagby-paradigm-anthem-and-martin-logan-md/ That particular website is installer-centric, but Bagby's comments were...

Bumping this old thread. After upgrading to a 77" TV, I had to move my Expressions a bit further apart. At the same time we also replaced the heavy wool area rug with a thinner polyester/wool blend. Both of those changes resulted in the upper mids and highs becoming a bit too bright (?? TV...

Oops! Misread your post!

Actually, Brad, that's not MY setup! I was replying to the OP, Lotus78! However, I plan to host a Suncoast Audiophile Society "Mini-Meet" end of Sept or early Oct, and will make sure we have at least one wine bottle to uncork!

Sweet! Very clever front wall diffusors!

After further comparisons, I'm sticking with speaker level connection to my subs. The bass is much tighter and coherent (presumably better time aligned), and more musical overall. Even when I adjusted the phase when using line-level inputs, the low end was always a bit muddy. FYI, I'm running...

Steve, Glad you stumbled upon those vintage ML's! I started my ML journey with Aerius i's. They were/are fabulous. Should be relatively easy to cobble together a wall mount bracket for the Scripts. BTW, I suggest you check out the Sarasota and Suncoast Audiophile Societies (sister clubs) on...

I am now also using more extreme toe-in for my Expressions (contrary to ML recommendations, and most on this forum, to use the flashlight setup method). The center image and soundstage depth are still great from the "sweet spot" but off-axis listening is now much better... no longer...

Jonathan, you're right... no bass management with my C-J pre. However, the ML BalancedForce Subs have custom downloadable crossover filters. I'm running my ML Expressions full range, with dual (stereo) BF 210 subs mainly to 1) partially overcome a bass null at ~50-60 Hz, and 2) to further...

I believe the perforated stator panel is painted/coated with insulating material. If so, some may have "flaked off" at the damaged area, causing minor static/arcing, possibly even burning a small hole in the stat membrane. I suspect the static sound will eventually disappear, once that small...

ML subs offer both line level (from preamp) and speaker level (from amp) connections. I've always used the former with my BF 210's. However, on a whim, I just tried the Speaker Level connection direct from my C-J amp to the subs, as that's the approach recommended for REL subs (likewise highly...

Tom, how about a heavy fabric shade with blackout lining, along the lines of... https://www.selectblinds.com/rollershades/modern-elements-blackout-roller-shades.html Just roll them down as needed for serious listening. That's what I currently have for the slider on the left side of my...

Call ML, and they'll send instructions for firstly checking the woofer connections. It could just be a loose connector. If not, then probably a bad Ice Power board.

Wow! Just saw this press release on Sound & Vision... https://www.soundandvision.com/content/paradigm-co-founder-buys-paradigm-anthem-and-martinlogan I think it's a favorable development as the new CEO is an industry veteran, and already associated with the brands. Anthem's decision to make...

Their dealers want to sell high-margin cables, and ML wants to keep their dealers happy.

Yep, I agree fully! Thus far, with the dual mono BF210's (where WAF requires I place them <g>), they don't adequately fill the null. In fact, the subs are "fighting" the Expressions, because I can't run ARC system-wide, so actually muddying up the bass. My wife is going out of town next week...

The Pro mode allows far more "customization" than I need. At most, I'll probably just "tilt" up the lower bass a tad, creating my "house curve," but not risking damage to any woofers. However, I'll need to experiment and decide if best to do with subs alone, or with the Expressions as well...

Just ran it with my Expressions, in default "easy" mode (vs. the Pro option). First thing it did was install new firmware for the speakers. I then used my standard 5 measurement locations, and the resultant curves showed my (usual) ~8 dB bass null from ~50-60 Hz. Unlike the older ARC...

Just got an email notification (from Anthem) about a new version of ARC that is compatible with the newest ML speakers, and incorporates PBK for compatible ML subs... https://www.anthemarc.com/arc-genesis/index.php Can't wait to try it! Also found this interesting history about how ARC/PBK...

Those are in ear monitors. Better yet, Janszen has recently announced a new electrostatic headphone, running on rechargeable battery, with fully contained electronics, and plans to also offer a wireless version (via IndieGoGo campaign)... https://www.janszenaudio.com/headphones Janszen's...
