    Receiver Recommendation for Motion 12s

    there is no such thing as a 4 ohm reciever, just an impedance load that an amp is rated to drive. Do not worry, the Motion products are designed to be fairly easy overall. the whole impedance thing, especially with this end of our line is overworried. When we finish product, we use an old...

    Motion 10 questions

    Good suggestion on Aurlex as soundly engineered solutions. Being cheap there is always nice pavers from home depot. Also, break in will open them up considerebly as i have personally noticed now that they have had some time cooking. We did not try to get fake bass out of them and presumed a...

    5.1 setup w/ Motion LX16s?

    if you are the customer that goes to Soundscape in santa rosa, we apologize for the back order situation on the dark cherry. C2 will also be out of backorder by the mid December area. Glad you like the 16s. As I have said, a personal favorite. as to why the other centers are wide, they are...

    Motion 10 questions

    From who? I think it is its strength. easy, not forced and a soundfield much larger than the small size. I love "hearing from the grapevine/internet" comments like that when reviews of the product has been wonderful.

    Motion 10 questions

    Do the 10s. They are at great prices right now, because of some updates coming (think LX 16 looks) and are actually cheaper than a 4 on stand. they will sound less strained than 4s under any situation because of two drivers, more box volume. Remember, ML goal is to get the midrange right...

    A perfect amp for Martin Logans

    We do have a pair coming to Kansas for a listening review on CLX so I will be able to speak to the combo. Remember, although Paradigm, Anthem and ML are related, it is more a half sister kine of thing where we can share parts(screws, baskets, etc.) but not design goals. I know they have been...

    Summit X to CLX - is it worth it?

    As to the Art versus the linear, it is important to note that the frame is different but no differences in sound. it is also important to note that you may be confused with the price of the initial Art frame with the aniline dye treatement(that was the expensive process) that retailed for $30K...

    Silence on Monis? Upgrade from Spire .... Or wait?? Summit X Mark2????

    One issue is that we are only now starting to ship them so they haven't hit dealers quite yet. Makes it hard to make opinions when most haven't heard it and even though we got decent results at RMAF, it is still a hotel room with a brand near pair and because of some miscommunication, no cables...

    5.1 setup w/ Motion LX16s?

    The C2 or even a Motion 8 will be fine as the tweeter is the same as the LX 16s. EMC2 uses a larger tweeter so we can go down farther in crossove over point so it will come closer to the stat of a EMESL. Don't forget that there are two drivers in the C2 so total surface area will be similiar...

    Summit X Center Imaging Question

    recordings do vary and what do you have between the speakers i.e. equipment, TV, etc. But the first bell i have ringing is your mention of symmetrical side and back wall placements. Generally a no no as that will produce a peak typically in the lower midrange, upper bass. vary those...

    ML EM-FX2 and Motion FX - are they bipole or dipole?

    they also come with both brackets to allow on wall or in corner so if you are against a wall, assuming a rectangular room, give them a go. Corner mounting works very well.

    ML EM-FX2 and Motion FX - are they bipole or dipole?

    straight answer time. They are neither. Both tweeters are in phase so the best way to look at them as a traditional with very broad dispersion. We listened to both bipolar and dipolar and ended up with more a "big" sounding traditional based on both music and movie. Given the vagaries and...

    ML EFX released?

    They are ready to ship in a couple of weeks or less so dealers should be seeing them soon. As to reviews, it takes quite awhile after a product is available before magazines focus on an new item. If it is print, that can add a month or so after the review itself is written, vetted before you...

    annoying issue with my Spires

    Roberto hints at it, but to add more detail there are a few things to realize. Turn on and off sensitivities are hard to be very consistent with. Since we have gone to less than 1 watt standby mode to satisfy energy consumtion standard around the world, the trimming of the sensitivity has...

    Summit X Still waiting

    To all of the customers that have been waiting an unusual amount of time for products: We are at fault for many of the delivery issues of the last few months. Several reasons are behind it, but the fact is we created a perfect storm that hamstrung us for this inordinate time. Good news is...

    Jumpers?

    I see little value in doing that, if one uses a decent jumper on down to the next terminal. you would only be removing the one extra connection point on the outside of the cabinet with the binding post and since it is in the low end, I doubt it would have any audible change. AS to posting my...

    Jumpers?

    I have to jump in. Rich is right, there are several threads on this, some of which I have said what i will say again. ML only uses those cheap jumpers as they are usually, in the hands of an audiophile customer, tossed asap. I will usually suggest a short run of the same cable that one is...

    The replacement for the Spire is called Montis.

    Shows for the indy's are being put together. As for Canada, that is the responsibility of Plurison, our distributor. Generally, they have been excited about the Reserve Dealer program to try and help Indy's and have implemented some of the ideas with some of their dealers. As to them doing a...

    The replacement for the Spire is called Montis.

    Yep, a good show. Of course they sounded best on the last day, as they where air freighted off the production line at the last minute so had no run in to speak of. Yes, the printed specs will be the same as the Spire as the package is the same, but the difference is to be simply cleaner...

    Former Audiovox Senior Product Manager tapped for ML and Paradigm brand management

    Yeah, in hind sight, i was pretty tired that morning. But as i read it again, i still feel the right to react strongly to some of the statements made. The reason I am tired is that the night before, Dennis Chern and i kicked off the CLX tour that will be appearing first in the MAVs and then...
