I've made some adjustments and accessory purchases over the last year, so I thought it would be nice to summarize them in one spot ... Positioning As of 2009/07/26, speaker grills are approx. 41” from the side walls, 55” from the back wall Extended Spikes by Jtwrace (speaker grill is slightly...

Hi Rick: I'm using a 20 watt integrated amp with my Summits. The EAR V20 (http://www.ear-yoshino.com/productdetails.asp?page=1&id=1) is a class "A" tube design that is a match made in heaven for the Summits. Bill.

I've been reading audiophile mags for years, including Stereophile, the abso!ute sound, and UHF magazine. I don't see a correlation between reviews of equipment and advertisements. This charge has been made many times over the years, and has been addressed to my satisfaction by Atkinson and...

Hey Joey, nice area rug. There are at least 3 of us Summit owners who shop at Ikea. :o As you can see from the photo below, my room is similar to yours. It took me nearly two years to get the room acoustics right. I've taken a different path than some others on this board, as follows: 1. TV...

Hi: At the risk of being labeled delusional, I have to report that my experience with the HiFi-Tuning Fuses was positive. No, I didn’t follow the scientific method and do blind testing (that doesn’t sound like fun at all). I used my ears, just like I did a few years ago when I auditioned...

My local dealer is bringing in the Copland "room correction" device (http://www.divertech.com/coplanddrc205.html). I hope to have an in-house trial within a few months. I'm also considering bass traps. I would like to increase lower frequency impact but if I turn up the woofer controls on the...

Hi: The Cerapucs are under the amp and CD player. I use BDR jumbo pits (http://www.musicdirect.com/product/71822) under the Summits. I find the BDRs much better than the wooden chopping blocks I previously used. Viking uses Cerapucs under the Summits...

OK, I can live with there being only myself and one other person in the world with a ML logo sign :) The glass things flanking the sign are vases turned upside down. A little Blu Tack keeps it standing up on the table. By the way, the strange looking device on the floor beside the table is...

Hi: A few months ago I came across an e-bay seller offering neon signs of images supplied by customers. For only $10, plus $30 shipping from Hong Kong, I decided to give it a try with the MartinLogan logo. The logo is etched in glass. It's a neat conversation piece. The seller is no longer on...

Hi Gordon: I replaced the Ikea wooden chopping blocks I was using under the Summits with BDR Jumbo Pits and found the same improvements as you did. Here is a picture of them I posted in August ... http://www.martinloganowners.com/~tdacquis/forum/showthread.php?p=52770#post52770.

Hi: I lift my cables off of the hardwood floor to keep them from getting under my :cool: robot cleaner (http://www.irobot.com/sp.cfm?pageid=122). I looked closely at the photo I recently posted of my system (http://www.martinloganowners.com/~tdacquis/forum/showthread.php?p=57631#post57631) and...

System Profile Update A few months ago I made two changes to my system that resulted in a significant improvement. First, I purchased the EAR Acute CD player (http://www.audiorevelation.com/cre/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=309). My dealer (http://mykindofmusic.com/) gave me a full...

Hi: It just so happens that I recently auditioned the Graaf GM50 with the Summits in my home. The amp was warming up and already sounding great when I heard what sounded like one of those cars with overpowered woofers. I discovered that it was actually the woofers on the Summits that were...

Ed Wolkow from Foundation Research came over to my place recently to try out his new power filter, the LC10. They worked fantastically with the Summits (by the way, my PS Audio P500 is now up for sale ;)). He also adjusted the positions of the speakers based on the Golden Ratio...

Hi jtwrace: Thanks again for supplying this great tweak. Here is a picture showing the spikes on top of Black Diamond Racing Jumbo Pits.

It may be because I'm living in a condo that has 380 suites, but the PS Audio Power Plant significantly improved my system. All of my stereo components, including the Summits, are plugged in to the regenerated AC outlets. I was able to demo the unit before I purchased it, so unless my audiophile...

It's fantastic to meet local members of the forum! MickeyVee, I'll take you up on your offer to visit your downtown condo. Here's a picture of my new system. The EAR V20 integrated amp and the Summits are indeed a match made in heaven ...

After 6 months of searching I've decided on a replacement amplifier for my Summits. After hearing it last week I knew this was the one. I purchased the ... :musicnote: EAR V20 :musicnote: It's a 24 watt, Class-A, push-pull, enhanced triode 30 tube(!) amp. Details appear in the Stereophile...

Note that the linked PDF is 36.25 MB :eek: Previous issues of this e-journal are at http://www.tonepublications.com/TA-mag.htm Tom, thanks for the link. I'm not thrilled about reading online. Maybe it's time I purchased a 24" LCD computer monitor. The 17" Viewsonic CRT I'm using is 13 years old...

Hi: My dealer also recommended the Foundation Research LC1 power conditioner/cable. He said they are especially good with electrostatic speakers. After I upgrade my amp he'll bring me a pair to try on my Summits. I expect to purchase my new amp this month, so I hope to try the the conditioner...
