BDH, It would seem to me that a repair on your amp would not have been a big deal. Any good repair shop should have been able to fix that shutdown problem and you could have had years of enjoyment with the product. I do however HATE rotten customer service. They knew that it had nothing to do...

Wait, your saying my 286 computer is still good to go? I was thinking of finally updating after 25 years............:)

Ok, I will look for the apple thing as I already have the Amazon Music app on my apple phone. I'm assuming, and it's a big assumption that my receiver will play the hi-res signal for sure in the left and right and then send the best signal it can to the other speakers automatically. Most...

I'm looking at the standard made for home audio and pro audio XLS 1500. I read a testing review of the XLS 1500 which everyone goes to normally for home audio, it performed very well compared to regular home audio amps of around the same power. That will be what I get. Now I have to order it...

The big question on ALL and I mean ALL of these power cord threads is do you guys know if you do not already have clean power? Same for power conditioners. Just buying them willy nilly is expensive fun but if you already have pretty clean power at the wall plug, why bother?

The air cleaner could have done it. If it happens again, maybe you can figure out where the sound is coming from. I'm glad your subwoofer seems to be doing pretty good. Hopefully you get some more years out of your system with no problems!

Not really. You will adjust as your brain makes you think you are hearing just as good as usual. So you will easily hear the difference between a pair of logitech ($100 a pair) speakers and your Martin logans. Until you get fairly bad hearing you will be fine. I'd say until you can't hear...

Dude!! You own too many Martin Logan Speakers. I will gladly take a pair of those big guys off of your hands. I'm sure you are tired of dusting them all off. Let me lighten your load. I could swing $2000 for the pair of big ones beside the big TV. I know, I'm being a very good guy by offering to...

Well, considering my social security income, I'm going to get a two channel Crown amp that delivers a lot of power. I'm looking at 300 watts at 8 ohms and 600 at 4 ohms. This will guarantee there is no lack of voltage or current. Many, many forums have guys running Crown amps and they really...

Thank you guys for helping me. I checked into as much as I could and found that headphones are the number one way to listen to hi-res music. It seems that in order to do this I have to spend serious money. The regular guy on the street (Joe six pack) is using headphones. If I don't want to use...

OK, checking my receiver manual, it seems that I have to somehow get the music from Amazon Music to the receiver using HDMI or I "think" an optical connection? Man, am I ignorant of this streaming........

That is common around here. Some people love Martin Logans and others are lukewarm on them. I like them when set up properly. They panels really shine in that they do all of my midrange and high end. Martin Logan for the win!!

Easy answer is, no you will not be able to tell the difference. Do it for the looks, not any sonic improvement.

OK guys. I know we have some pretty smart guys on here. I do not stream music except from my Iphone 10Xr to my receiver using bluetooth. I use Amazon Music. Amazon offers Amazon Ultra HD with FLAC that I would like to use. I know diddly squat (OK, less than that even!) about making this happen...

I was just reading that after 1995 Martin Logan made it so all their speakers turn off and don't stay on all the time to help keep them clean.

WOW! I agree with TTocs. I can see the damage now. It is much worse than I thought. I'd just buy a new subwoofer. It "looks" like it is quite an old sub from the way that board looks. Can't go wrong with a new servo sub made by just about anybody.

If it has the hum without the input signal connected it is broken. It could be many things. A good technician should be able to fix it fairly easily. If you want to mess with it, that is fine too. It all depends on how much you are willing to tinker with it. A real repair would just be a couple...

Chops, you seem to have a massive record collection. I bet that is worth some serious coin. I'm going to take a lot of your music and starting monday, search on Amazon Music to see what is available. Then I will stream it and see how it sounds. I am impressed with your collection.

I have tried a DB meter on my phone but I could not really get it to do what I needed. It never hurts to own a db meter. You have a boatload of advice. I would try mine first and then go right into room treatments and other speaker positioning etc. That's when the real work will start. I have to...

Those are VERY nice looking power cords. The price is right too. For $35 you get power cords that look like they are very expensive. A very easy way to dress up your power cord.
