I believe Jim is right on about this point. There is nothing wrong with adjusting your speakers for a wider sweet spot as long as this spot is still sweet when you're finished. I for one do not want an extremely narrow stereo image, but in my limited experience there is a range as to how wide...

Congratulations on the victory last night. Now just don't go and lose to Ohio St. again in the N.C.:D. Glen

I would definitely agree with Jeff about the differences between the MP and non MP Ayre players. While I haven't heard the Summit vs the Summit X I would say that overall it is a nice refinement on an already fine piece. Although, when you consider it only costs $250 plus shipping, only one...

Interesting. I scored a 70 as well, but I am wondering about 2 or 3 of them. Some of the symbols seem to pan off to the left or right, is that because the sound trails off in that direction? The reason I ask is because I was listening in mono here at work and could not figure out what was...

Excellent job Mark! Absolutely love it.:music: Glen

Kudos to you sleepysurf for not giving up on the Summit's and sticking with them to figure it out.:bowdown: Also, I admire your patience with the issue. It would have been easy to start a rant and blame Martin Logan for bad quality control, but as you stated earlier it was quite possibly the...

Hello Victor, I am using the supplied spikes in the front part of the speakers and some older Martin Logan spikes, I believe they are like the ones supplied with my old Aeon I's, in the back. I picked these spikes up at a store that had them up for sale for years and he gave me a good price so...

Hey Gordon, if I understand the reason Jim gave me correctly, it was so that the middle of the panel, the vertical midpoint, was directly in line to your ears. Otherwise you would be listening to the upper or lower region of the panel first then the sound would arrive from the other sections...

Hi Gordon thank you for the kind words. As for the panel phase this is what we did: The speaker cable is inserted to the two top binding post (Highs) where positive is to + and negative goes to - . Then we took the jumpers and ran the upper positive (highs) to the lower negative (lows) and of...

I know what you mean Gordon about the 35hz control knob having a huge impact on the music. Last week we were playing around with this feature on my Vantages and were amazed at how it affected vocals. In fact with just a quarter turn of the knob one woman who was speaking went from sounding...

Hey Gordon, yes I am actually a little past vertical. In the book "Get Better Sound" Jim talks about this in one of his tips. In my feeble attempt I raised the back end of the Logan's to have the midpoint of the panel level with my ears, but I went overboard on accident. When Jim came to my...

Thank you Sam for the kind compliment. As for the difference between my previous Aeon I's and the Vantages I would not classify it as a super huge difference, but rather a refinement on an already great speaker. The Aeon's were my first experience with owning Logan's and they had a very lovely...

Hello Dave, I too had this same problem but I found someone selling some older model Martin Logan spikes and this did the job for me. Although this was not a perfect solution because the spikes will not screw in all the way since they are slightly larger. I kept the original spikes in the...

Hi David, I sit approximately 11' 9" from my Vantages and they are 7' 3" apart from each other (center to center). The panels are about 74" off the back wall and 30" off the side wall. As for the toe in, it appears to be around 1". Of course these were the measurements that worked best for my...

Great Job! The fit and finish of your new audio rack is top notch. Whatcha makin' next?:D Glen

I agree although that was not my first thougt until I compared it to my Scoutmaster. Now it just looks classy!!:D:music:

Thanks Jonathan, and anytime you are out this way give me a call or come by for a visit. You and your wife are always welcome at our home.:rocker:

Thanks Satch for the kind words. I believe you will really enjoy the book, and what I like about it is that you can read it just like you would a manual. If you are pondering an issue or just want to skip to the speaker setup, then no problem because it is written in that format. Have fun...

Thanks Spectral for the links. I just had my Ayre C-7xe upgraded to the MP(minimum phase) digital filter. It is a tremendous value and worth every cent I paid. While I still prefer vinyl mostly, my newly upgraded cd player has closed that gap significantly. Glen

Hifi setup Hey Guys, I wanted to do a follow up review of the second visit from Jim Smith as I promised. For those of you that have not followed some of these last few posts, Jim Smith is the author of Get Better Sound and has proven himself in the audio industry as being one of the top hifi...
