Thanks for your explanation. I checked out the BACCH4mac website as well to better understand the technique. I'd like to underscore the following as key to making this work: "The head tracking camera will then follow your head, moving the sweet spot with you." A careful ongoing real-time...

i know what BACCH4mac is, but I don’t understand how this ties into what I said. Can you elaborate?

Remark about no crossover bearing on full-range ESL duly noted. My Bad for assuming the target of discussion was the model 13 purchased and in use. About demos at audio shows: The vendors rarely get more than a day to setup and tune their systems in often rather hostile rooms, and often...

That's good news! I'm glad you've found a proper solution. I think it's only fair to offer the partner a meaningful concession, a quid pro quo. Two weeks in Paris might serve. Just my two cents.

I really didn't intend on giving you or anyone else a lecture about crossovers, anymore than I believe you intended to lecture me by quoting John Atkinson, circuit and system theory that I've known for a great while. Based on the thread title, I believe the central issue for you here has been...

FWIW, I own a pair of Montis ESLs, which were rendered "older models" when the current line of ML ESLs (including your 13s) was introduced. ML also moved their operating headquarters from the US to Canada. And the dealer who sold them to me dropped the product line. I suppose, early on, I...

That's great! Good job!!

Hi. Nice to meet you. I’m not familiar with the Stylos, but they look like ESLs. it’s just a hunch, but I worry that this particular “clicking” is high voltage discharge. Perhaps elements got badly misaligned. I recommend power down and unplug and (as others suggest) get in touch with ML...

Wow. How odd. As I said previously, my 1100X doesn’t act this way, and if testing the sub without any connects except power does this, it seems to point to either the sub or something from your environment that’s “getting in” to it. The sound clip you included is curious in that it has a...

Hi. I'd like to be of help, but I'd need to know more than what you've provided. The fact that you're dealing with a reputable outfit like Crutchfield really lightens the issue. If you're not happy, you can send the subs back and it'll cost you at most return shipping. By way of background...

Jofi, Do you have specific examples of ML ESLs and amplifiers that you have found work well together? What speaker(s) and amplifier(s) are you currently enjoying?

I'm pleased to hear this important news. You might be interested to learn that it's my dog Bailey that is typing this and responding to the various threads. Bailey handles my most important correspondence. Bailey has a special way with words and a real talent for audio review. He...

Hi! Very cool to hear about your equipment and experiences. The Audiophonics HPA-S400ET has been reviewed by Amir at Audio Science Review: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audiophonics-hpa-s400et-review-stereo-amplifier.32014/ The amp works well, it's a real bargain...

Hi. Inspired by your post, I decided to learn more about the Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300. In so doing, I learned a bit about Musical Fidelity as a company. I know you're pleased with the Tri-Vista 300, and it received excellent reviews from others as well. Thanks for bringing it to my...

I've bought a PS Audio S300 Amp along with a PS Audio GainCell DAC some time ago to drive my Martin Logan Montis. The S300 was being sold at a promotional discount at the time the GainCell DAC was purchased. The GainCell DAC worked adequately but I recall running into problems with its Home...

Oh, one more thing: I think I’ve found the plural for Montis, which means Mountain in Latin. It’s Montium! How ‘bout that! ;)

Roger Big Dog RJ on amps that cost the same as the house. ;) For me, “fully grip”, with respect to my experience with the AHB2, has meant attaining a natural, transparent and effortless delivery and an uncanny ability to handle complex music passages with little or no interaction or blurring of...

"... and this is where the 'trickery' begins ! ..." I meant no trickery. twich54's comments about caution as to what the sensitivity spec really means are valid. Still, I'd like to point out a couple of things. It can be seen from John Atkinson's impedance measurements vs. frequency that...

it’s not clear taking the ESLs outdoors is really necessary or even an advantage. it’s not clear to me that playing music through an unpowered ESL dispels charge. It could in fact charge the membrane and dust particles instead. By disconnect I meant no power and no speaker connections (both)...

Hi. I've followed this thread for quite some time. I may have contributed to it earlier, but I have mentioned here or elsewhere how pleased I've been with a single Benchmark AHB2 driving my pair of Montis ESLs in a sizeable living room. I'd like to add some additional remarks concerning what...
