Cary SLP 03 with which amp? Spike, I will have new Summits in about a week and need to upgarde my power and pre amp before I hook things up. I was seriously considering the Cary SLP 03 (I have a demo in the system right now and for the price I think it sounds great). I am either looking at the...

Now that I have upgraded my speakers to the ML Summit's, I am looking to replace my old power and pre amp, although not at the same time due to money. So what else is new! Without giving away dealer names, I am cuious to know what kind of discount off list price I can expect from the list of...

Agree I just received my new Summits a couple of days ago. These replaced a pair of Vantages and a Descent i. I have covered most of the carpet in the first 5 feet from the wall, and the 10 feet across! I had the Vantages pretty well locked on, but the Summits are a whole new ball game! Right...

No joke Actually I was wondering if anyone HAD purchased the MS amp stands and is using them under the Summits. At $1,000+ per pair, it seems a bit much. I would like to experiment with a wood platform. Who sells the Timbernation product? Thanks! JM

Mapleshade stands What? has no one spent $1,020 on a pair of Mapleshade's 2" V.2 Maple Amp stands (24" x 18" in semi-gloss black)? I should be receiving my Summits in a couple of weeks and have been thinking about placing them on some footing, other than my carpet, as well. I have low pile...

Panamax Max 5400-ex Beautifull system! :bowdown: I should have my Summits (replacing Vantage/Descent i combo) in a couple of weeks. I am running outdated Hafler equipment (DH200 power and DH100 pre) for now, but am researching amps and preamps, and more importantly saving my dollars up, for...

Relaxing I had to laugh at some of the responses here. I like to listen late at night with all of the lights out. I keep a flashlight on the couch with me in case I have to get up or someone is walking across our ranch home. To quote my 13 year old daugther: "Dad's on the couch again in his...

Green and red panels? WOW, a green and red panel . . . . who needs a Christmas tree! :D JM

I still want to know what WOOFER MASKING is. The customization form asks for your choice of WOOFER MASKING. Anyone know what that is?:confused: :confused: JM

Woofer masking? What is woofer masking? Black or none? Is this a cover for the bottom firing woofer? JM

Unfortunately, once you get past the Summits that should arrive in a week or two, "high end" is non-existent in my system . . . . yet. I'm running an old (but in good condition) Hafler amp and preamp! I'll have to resort to the test CD's for now. JM

Test CD's What about the use of the Stereophile test CD's for this purpose? Could you take measurements using tracks at certain Hz? JM

SPL meter I stopped by Radio Shack the other day and I see they have a really nice looking unit with a digital read out for around $50.00. It's not that much more than the unit with the needle/dial. OK, dumb question . . . . how exactly do you use an SPL meter!:confused: JM

Vantage panel problems Joey, Thanks for posting this. I'm still learning to navigate this site, and obviously moving in the slow lane! I just plugged the defective Vantage in a few minutes ago. WOW! It make a LOT of noise. Continous staticy popping sounds. A cross between an oxygen machine...

It is my wife's idea to go with the Summits! Oddly enough we got two pair of defective Vantages, plus she just doesn't like the Descent i sitting in the room. Those are the two reasons for the upgrade. At least I'm starting out with the best speakers I can afford, and so the elctronics I go...

Cary SLP-03 Joey, I see you have a Cary tube amp. My dealer is a Cary dealer and I was thinking of looking at the SLP-03 pre amp. It does have tubes, in an enclosed modern looking case ($2,500 list). of course the SLP-05 would be nice, but at $7,500 . . . ! Have you heard the SLP-03? JM

NAD - Are you serious?

I will be receiving a new pair of Summits in 2 to 3 weeks. :D :D :D Thus far I have: 1. Ordered a pair of Jason's 2.5' spikes. I currently have a pair of Vantages and know from my limited experience with them that raising the panel to near straight up can make a huge difference in locking...

Gordon, THANKS! I am very excited, but will have to wait a couple weeks at least I'm sure. They were just ordered today and I won't have an estimated delivery time for a couple of days. The real bad part is that the one Vantage panels is so bad I can't play ANY music, unless I play one...
