60Hz problem confirmed and not solvable Hey guys, unfortunately my bad case assumption has been confirmed true: ML has confirmed that the electronics somehow checks the AC frequency and in case of the US version blocks the amplifier, if it is not 60 Hz. There is a conversion kit available...

Germany. Single wiring with the jumpers in place. But the same weak bass level shows, when I connect the receiver only to the bass terminals with the jumpers removed.

I could do only a quick test today, will have more time tomorrow. Re your questions: - I use a Lexicon RV-8 7.1 receiver (4 weeks old) with music or several test signals. - I have set the front speakers to full/large - I ran the test which reveals the bass weakness with the receiver set to...

I expected your answer as well, as I'm aware of your own new Summits. From what you are saying I conclude the uncomforting message, that with your speakers you didn't have a lack of bass even before the break in, at least no significant lack like I have. Of course I checked the contacts, and...

Yesterday my Summits finished their travel over the Atlantic and arrived at my home. Because I didn't have time, I only exchanged the Clarity front speakers against the Summits and quickly let some 7.1 music play for checking whether everything was ok. It appeared ok, and I even had the...

Thanks a lot. But I'm still curious about how one attaches just a picture file, without the picture showing up. Anyway ...

Sorry guys, I dind't want to have my image pop up so huge, but I couldn't find out how I can attach it just as a file, as the thread originator did. Can somebody please give me a hint? Thanks.

I doubt that European experiences are transferable to the US, because we here have homes built from stone walls, while you in the US have made them from wood structures, but 'll report anyway: My 700 sq ft living room has a stone floor, stone walls, large windows, and scarce furniture. I used...

I understand what you mean. I'll have to experiment with the toe-in. That's probably the only variable which I have. Yes, you are right. That's the psychoacoustically optimal point ;)

I have to admit that I'm not a special friend of cable differences. I know that some people believe to hear differences in power supply cables... To put it politely: I believe in psychoacoustics... :D But with speaker cables, I deem differences to be possible. Right now for the front speakers I...

My first experience was quite different, and it may be worthwhile for one or the other to have it explained briefly. First to the history: I was a ML listener since very long, started with Quests in the early 90-ies, so I'm used to the ML characteristics. I wouldn't call myself an audiophile...

As an engineer, since my ancient youth I always had a quite "robust" attitude toward this aspect :D

Ok, ok, I'll do so when they arrive. But what else do you expect from my pictures other than from the official ones? From my experience when seeing them "live" I can give a positive message, as has been given already also by others in this forum: in reality, one looks at them nearly from the...

Just bitten the bullet... I've just heard the Summit in direct comparison to the Clarity (my present front speakers), and the difference was enough to make me purchase the Summits. I'll get them delivered in 2 weeks, and then I'll sure dare to open them myself, and I will report :p

That's a possibility. And then any US dealer will tell me he cannot get the export version, which probably is even true. When I was recently in San Francisco I tried already once to make an appointment for listening to a Summit, and when I told him that I'm German and want to buy the Summit...

Yes, I assume the picture was synthetically generated for marketing purposes. It looks like there is no power transformer at all :) Maybe I have too much prejudices, but I can hear their answer in advance, telling me I should buy in Europe... My experience with Lexicon was really unpleasant enough.

Hi everybody, I seriously consider to exchange the fronts of my ML 7.1 system from Clarity to Summit. But for principal reasons, I don't want to pay the 40% premium when purchasing in Europe with Euros. So like I did for other MLs, I would want to purchase through my company affiliate in the...
