amey01 how do you figure that you are spending more than what they are worth, I have about $5500 into mine and JonFo posted an answer to my question that I had about what I would need to replace them (reQuests) he said at least 13A's, they are $25000 + tax up here in Canada and even if you get a...

Hey Robert just what are you going to get for a $1000 dollars, I repaneled my reQuests and it cost me $2200 now I have a set of speakers that sound fantastic, I probably didn't even need to replace them yet but time said to do it while you can still get the panels and that is not too much to...

JonFo, What I am asking is if I do not use a measurement tool (as I don't understand them or able to read them) can this make my system sound worse, right now it sounds pretty good for soundstage and all, I set up my 2 subs by ear and I think it sounds good (to me anyway) I just would hate to...

Wow that's really nice for you and Yes they have a thread out there that shows how to bypass the panel part of the passive XO but I'm not that good with trying it would hate to do something wrong and pooch the reQuests, I just repaneled them last year, I am thinking of sending my Anthem amps...

Jazzman so you have rewired the panel directly then to do it your way, I was just going to go with an active woofer not the panel, still run the panel through the preamp to the amp then to the panel I don't know too much about rewiring to bypass the internal crossover for the panel was just...

So you use your preamp into the venu then into your amp, then into the panels and woofers biamped with the carvers, I use 2 Anthem 2 channel amps to bi-amp the speakers right now but the speakers are still passive right now, didn't know you could go through the venu for the panel part of the...

So Jazzman I don't have XLR imputs only RCA but you can get adapters I think for that, do you still run your panels through your existing preamp or do you run them through the driverack and in the setup choose passive, then run the 2 ESL woofers through the low outputs, where do you hook up the...

I have a few questions about going to an active crossover with my reQuest speakers. 1. What crossover is decent for this job and which one do you use and why without breaking the bank. 2. Do you have to use like an Anthem ARC or Dirac to set it up, as I have an ARC system but no tablet or...

I have been reading over this thread and maybe I missed something in my first post above, I have reQuest speakers so to bypass the passive XO all you have to do is cut the wires from the bottom terminals of the speaker to the XO board then cut the wires that go from the XO board to the woofer...

So if I read this right I just need to disconnect the red and black wires from the board in the cabinet then connect to the woofer directly from the terminals to the red and black on the woofer, then get an amp like the one that Brandon Hartwick used lets say the crown XLS drivecourse 1002 turn...

So to bypass do you have to have a lot of knowledge on the wiring and how to read schematics to preform this or would a repair shop be able to do this if you brought them the boards

I'm looking to go active crossover, do you have to change wiring in the cabinet when you unhook the old woofer because I'm not sure how to do this.

I also think that just buying new panels from ML is the way to go, I bought some for my reQuest speakers for 2100.00 USD sure beats trying to rebuild them myself, but maybe if you have time and tools it would be ok but I wouldn't have the knowhow to do it anyway so new panels were the way to go...

My panels are 15" wide I think the classic are about 9" wide but I have been experimenting with the toe in and it does make a Difference with no0t so much toe in, I used the flashlight method to set them up the first way and that's what I come up with but you just have to keep experimenting with...

Ok I'm looking into a 3" panel, that will fill in where the 1' panel is that is only 2", these panels don't have any reflection in them they are only absorbers, was going to mount them 2" from the wall leaving a space behind them, I did move the toe in a little less from the way they were and it...

So are you saying to not toe the speakers in so much and fill in the bare wall behind the speakers with thicker panels and check to see if the panels have any reflective elements

I have some reQuest speakers that I cannot move any farther from the front wall they are 2.5 feet out, I have absorbtion panels behind as shown in the pics and base traps in the corners and was wondering about putting diffusion panels with the absorbtion panels if they would make a difference or...

Well I just through out the question to see if anyone had tried this, I listen and sit in the best seat and the wife don't care so maybe i'll just keep my funds and look to put them somewhere else like an OLED TV, just have to wait till the price comes down, can't justify spending $6000 on a TV...

Brad I am already using the focus C18 so the centre is good, how can you improve that except to go to the illusion but I am using the ReQuests for L & R and I been reading the illusion matches better with the 15A or 13As a costly upgrade and not much of an improvement from ReQuests. May be I'll...

Just wondering if you use 2 sets of ESL's for front stage, 2 left and 2 right along with the center, seen a fellow have this set up on a post not here and was wondering if anyone has had experience with this type of set up and does it work for a wider sweet spot. Could not find any posts on...
