    How will the unreleased Electomotion integrate into existing HT setups?

    No, it is single wire. Tough price point to hit and given the typical customer at this price point, tough to justify. One has to make choices. Late Feb is the hope for date to get at least some out. Currently the factory is making panels as fast as possible as we have about a gazillion...

    New Summit XJR ?

    As you can see in the earlier post with pictures from the factory tour, we have experimented with different colors on the frames. Unfortunatley after quite a bit of expense and efforts to create a huge custom capability, there have been very few takers so if you wish to try a color frame such...

    New Summit XJR ?

    We have experimented with powder coated colors for the metal parts of the frames, but the stators use a nylon insulator for the stators and are part of the function of the speaker. We have experimented with colors such as white, but color powders contaminated the ovens so affected the black...

    Videos from ML

    to all of the more experienced, knowledgeble MLOers, please remember the spirit that these videos are shot in. In my 20 plus years of selling, installing MLs, I have so rarely run across customers willing to go to the extremes that acoustic treatments can take that for us to speak only to those...

    How will the unreleased Electomotion integrate into existing HT setups?

    Electromotion will be a family of goods that are upgrades in performance over the less expensive Motion line so will be combination of ESL goods and FMT goods using a larger FMT for a lower crossover point for more sound from the driver for better blending to stats. The Electromotion ESL does...

    Service Notice for Discontinued Products

    To Gordon. It must have been quite awhile since we spoke directly as I have been with ML for coming up on 7 years, although I do talk to the boys at MIT as they are so close I can sneak over and steal some pizza once in a while and loan them the occasion speaker as they work on new things. I...

    Service Notice for Discontinued Products

    I am going to jump back in, mostly so i can withdraw. To Rich, I did not mean to come across as attacking you directly as my comments where based on the overall mood of the threads. To the moderator, the reason Justin and I are on the site is to provide a factual backbone so certain...

    Service Notice for Discontinued Products

    I actually want to continue with some of the monetary comments made as there are two things happening at the detriment to the arguements. One is the unsubstantiated estimating of our growth such as "30 to 60 million by now" and that component becomes a damning statement reflecting our greed...

    Service Notice for Discontinued Products

    I went and checked the post on his personal rebuild and it actually supports our position of building new versus trying to refit. His was a pair Sequel II, when the bonding tape at the top and bottom was simple foam based and could be cut very carefully with a razor knife, which he states took...

    Service Notice for Discontinued Products

    crap, i had typed a long answer, only to accidently delete it all. I have to weigh in to react to some of the comments and shed some more light. Justin is very busy and has asked me to help when he is tied up on other aspects of his job. We do want to provide accurate answers so be patient as...

    Summit X light question

    There are 4 colors available. Blue (stock), red, white, green, all available at no charge on the initial order. changing them after the fact will probably can be done reasonably easy, but that will take a call to Melodie in service. Also, the rotary switch in the back can be used to create...

    purity speakers and denon 4310ci

    Since the Purity is a fully active speaker, you will have no issue whatsoever driving it with just about anything, including the Denon. Yes, the internal amp powers the speaker regardless of hook up method. If you have pre outs for the front two channels, use RCAs to the speaker. Since you...

    New Martin Logan Speakers!

    We do not have measurable data on the use of it in this application but I have had success with it in the past. A tweak it is. With the small cabinet dimensions of the Spire and the low frequency it is operating in, I will offer only conjecture on the value of it for internal mods.

    New Martin Logan Speakers!

    to add to the dialogue. The long lever that is created by the extrusions will flex if pressed at the top. Our goal with the change was to knock down some higher frequency issues that crept into the panel. You should know that we read ideas from this site and review most of them. But...

    Another ML voice

    Currently, full speed ahead on current products, filling in needed updates, etc. Work is being done on both ends of the line, but I can't talk too much about future other than to assure everyone we won't be changing too much. We need to adapt to changing market needs but we aren't going to...

    New Martin Logan Speakers!

    hello Rich, to your points on rigidity, in the old days the panels where held in rather loosely, press fit by the rails (how many times do i read about people whose panels had slid down?) and actually had more problems with bass frequencies causing them to move around more than the newer ones...

    Another ML voice

    The real problems started in the year before with the sudden closure of Tweeter, a 90 store account, just before Xmas. I had also just sent 90 pairs of CLX to Europe and their arrival was perfectly timed so hit the bottom falling out of that market, so payments where terribly slow. Add to the...

    Fear not. the high end is where we came from and won't forget. We also know that we have long needed legit gateway drugs (Motion) in order to start people off and yes, give us more R&D bucks. More sales means more money for all of our plans. If you think of how we built products 10 years ago...

    New Martin Logan Speakers!

    no problem and yes, distance can be a pain at times, making speculation almost necessary. As to weights, I think in the real world they may be closer, as i have moved enough around to feel like it isn't too far off. Justin covered some of it with the different magnet structure resulting in...

    Thanks all and after plenty of years lurking, it is good to be aboard. Actually, I will answer Spectral's question. Tim is a very good operations man. His last position was a even more competitive world and his responsibilities are simply to create the most efficient operations as possible...
