Ok, thx. Just talked to Crutchfield and they seem to be able to handle the order. Thanks

I want to buy a set of IsoAcoustics Gaia II feet for my ML 13A speakers. I understand that they require a 3/8 - 16 Long thread which has to be specifically requested. Since I will be ordering online, how do I specify this? Sounds like I need to interact with someone to do this. Where is the...

Hi @ESLFan I think the toy music from the DMP label was from an album by Flim & The BBs named "Neon" circa late 80's. The track was "Toy Chest". DMP pioneered "all digital" recordings. When I bought my first serious audio system back in 1989, Flim & the BBs was the preferred test album for...

Sorry, can't take a picture. Wife made me get rid of the carpeting because it looked very bad. But it was just 4" X 4" squares of indoor wall-to-wall carpeting under each of the speaker's feet plus I added some anti-vibration pads between the speaker feet and the carpeting. From Amazon...

I had a similar situation with my 13's. I heard a buzzing sound especially when I played music that featured bass cellos. As you did, I used a tone generator and found that the buzzing happened at around 195 Hz. I borrowed some bookshelf speakers from my neighbor, and found that they also...

A couple of months ago, the $19.99 monthly fee for the Tidal top tier service was reduced to $9.99. It looks like all the MQA files will be replaced by FLAC. I noticed that some MQA files (i.e. some Patricia Barber albums) that originally were 24 bit /192 kHz files were replaced 16 bit/44. kHz...

Hi, Update on my OP: 1) I did a sine sweep on the ESL 13 and found that the resonance occurred at about 195 Hz. 2) Borrowed a pair of bookshelf speakers from my neighbor and heard the same thing. So concluded that it's something in the room and not the speakers. 3) Got a couple of scraps of...

I went from Ethos => Montis => ESL 13. There was a clear improvement at each step. I choose Montis over Summit X primarily because Montis was cheaper yet the panel size of the Montis was the same. If you have a sub already, then the fact that the Summit X has larger woofers than the Montis...

Is that the Best Buy at the Crossgates Mall? I live in Syracuse and had to drive there to audition my current 13a's !

Easiest solution is to cover them with plastic bags. I do this all the time with the plastic shipping bags that the speakers came in when any cooking is going on in the house. At other times, when not in use, I use the black cloth bags that the speakers were shipped in.

So has anyone remove the panel from ESL13a for the shower treatment? I can't remember seeing any threads specific to 13a. I doubt that there are that many out there requiring refurbishing yet though. Too new a model.

The other day my wife was walking in front of the ML ESL 13 and tripped while carrying a glass of wine. The wine went flying out of the glass but fortunately missed the speaker completely. Disaster averted, but it got me to wondering, what should I have done if the wine actually landed on the...

That was my first thought.

Well, as famous astronomer Carl Sagan is reputed to have said, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof".

That's so true about vehicles. I had a Mazda RX-7 once upon a time that I was very proud of. I swear to God, every time I washed it, it was quicker, smoother, and for some reason, it cornered better.

Agreed. Although in the '70's there was a speaker that used a plasma as the speaker material : "The Hill Plasmatronic Gas Discharge Speaker". You had to connect a tank of helium to the speaker since I think Helium was used as the plasma material. Plasma is virtually massless. Not very...

LOL, I was the OP on that thread. I'd completely forgotten.

Yeah a few years back when I owned Montis, the blue LED that illuminated the ML signature logo burned out. I contacted ML and the service was amazing. Basic handholding till I replaced the LED myself. And I'm not Mr. Handyman. I have no reason to believe that anything has changed at least in...

I never understood why ML discontinued the CLX. I currently have the 13A. Going to the CLX would be a natural upgrade for me but that option is now closed. When was the Masterpiece lineup released (2015/16 ?) ? It's now 8 years since a new ESL design has been released.
