    Is it safe to use a compressed air duster on my panels?

    Hi. Here's some advice I received from Martin Logan support a while ago when one of my panels lost output and sounded muffled. I've reported it elsewhere. I have Montis, which is just one generation newer than the Summits. Here goes: To get rid of the dust from the ESL panels -- soft vacuum...

    Room Acoustics - Absorption Panels Behind ML's

    Dear bikernail, I think the others are offering useful advice. I especially agree that 2'x2' panels located as you've shown wouldn't be helpful -- it's the ESL membrane rear radiation that matters, not the rear output from the bass cabinet. I myself use 2" thick acoustic absorbing panels --...

    Masterpiece Series bass transition

    JImbill, I like sleepsurf's response to your question, and I think it's a good start. Not sure what the dealers are like in your area, but many dealers provide an opportunity to try out these speakers in one's own home for a reasonable evaluation period. Let me also offer: what ML ESL's excel...

    Adding a sub woofer with a pair of 15As

    I'm not sure who you're asking, but in my case, the placement was in part guided by long experience, especially with this very room, and in part by recommendations in knowledgeable white papers, including those written by Martin Logan. To begin, I started with a single Martin Logan Balanced...

    Adding a sub woofer with a pair of 15As

    If I've come across earlier as skeptical, I was and still am. But I didn't know about TRINNOV, either, and now I'm educating myself and have learned a little. I have had experience with muli-channel playback and what that can do relative to stereo reproduction. It isn't lost on me that to...

    Adding a sub woofer with a pair of 15As

    Fidji, I'd like to learn more about how this measurement was made. That resultant curve is virtually flat, a truly stellar result. It's almost beyond belief. What gear and software did you use? Where was the microphone placed relative to each of the listening positions? Is this the tuned...

    Anyone use the wireless kit from Martin Logan? The SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer Kit

    OK. I read your two last posts. Here’s what I’d do. if you don’t yet own the 1100x (plus interface), then find an outfit that will offer you an evaluation period with money back return. Try it out. If you like it, keep it. If not, return it. Anyone who thinks or claims to have a pre-computed...

    Anyone use the wireless kit from Martin Logan? The SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer Kit

    Flush, but you might find your results differ. The same general suggestions for best placing a sub still hold. For example, if you want the best results sitting in the middle of the sofa, then put the sub there on the sofa, turn on sweeps (the app can easily do this), and crawl around on the...

    Favorable Results / Guidance from ML Service on Montis (and other? ) ESL Speaker Cleaning

    Hi. This has probably been dealt with before, but I offer the following personal experience with a happy ending. It involves my Montis pair becoming (really) dull and losing high frequency response, and how Martin Logan Service went out of their way to help me and resolve the matter. The key...

    Anyone use the wireless kit from Martin Logan? The SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer Kit

    One more thing that (hopefully) some of you will find amusing: My use of a subwoofer goes way back, before I even dreamed of home theater. As a extravagant present for myself, and to help deal with a troublesome listening room, I bought a (legendary) JBL B380 sub that worked in combination to...

    Anyone use the wireless kit from Martin Logan? The SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer Kit

    Sonically it shouldn’t really matter. for my own part, I felt down firing offers the safest arrangement for the woofer cone, that is, keeping it out of harm’s way. The sub is on a hardwood floor, but there are area rugs throughout the room. IMHO a rug wouldn’t have much effect upon the very low...

    Anyone use the wireless kit from Martin Logan? The SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer Kit

    If you're going to use the Dynamo 1100x as the behind-the-sofa sub, then no, you don't need the full-bore PBK. The Dynamo 1100x's internal signal processing combined with, say, an iPhone and the appropriate app installed does just fine. You can begin by parking your butt on the sofa and...

    Anyone use the wireless kit from Martin Logan? The SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer Kit

    At these deep bass frequencies, the transfer lag is negligible / indiscernable. Don't give it another thought.

    Anyone use the wireless kit from Martin Logan? The SWT-X Wireless Subwoofer Kit

    Hi. Rascal here. I own and use this very combination and it works superbly in what would be an otherwise impossible room. The interface has no sound!. The Dynamo 1100x is awesome. Mine is, like you're proposing, located just behind the center sofa. I have my driver firing down -- the...

    Benchmark AHB2 amplifier?

    The simple answer is yes. However, you didn’t say what amp you’re using, and what “thinness” really means. My Montis speakers are capacitive with the impedance dropping down to fractions of an ohm at very high frequencies. The tube amps I mentioned can’t drive that sort of load without...

    New Member Wash DC Metro Area

    Hi back and thanks for your interest and remarks. As far as the brickwork goes, it hasn't proven to be an issue. The brickwork is clearly solid (it doesn't vibrate), it's not polished (like sheet rock), and, as I explained, the mid- and high-frequency back waves are attenuated by absorbers...

    Benchmark AHB2 amplifier?

    FWIW, the Benchmark AHB2 can be purchased directly from benchmarkmedia.com. The AHB2 (and some other components like the DAC3) are sold on a 30 day money back basis, which is nice if you want to try it out in your own setup. The benchmark website also has the AHB2 manual in downloadable PDF...

    My 13As

    I'm not sure what it is about the M33 specifically that appeals to you (not that I have any problem with the M33 -- I own one and it's great!) but have you considered the following: An NAD M28 (seven channel Purifi power amp) combined with the NAD M17 v2i A/V Processor. You might have to give...
