While going over some of my old threads, I ran back across this comment. This convinced me to stick with the sunfire back in January and I am very happy I did! I’ve tried dating my sunfire but have been unsuccessful doing so. How did you date your amps? I’m curious how old mine is. Thanks for...

Hello everyone, I’ve finally completed the restoration on my Martin Logan SL3s. New panels, recap (im not going to do an active bass section), and new transformers. However, when moving them to my new place one of the letters at the bottom fell off. I wasn’t sure if this was common and if...

I am in Grafton Wi currently. Moving to Urbana/Champagne this week.

Hello all, I’ve been trying to figure out my channel imbalance lately but just haven’t had the time to tackle it until now. The t1 crossover transformer has gone bad and needs replacement. I am planning on refreshing both. What are my options to find a replacement part. Should I contact Martin...

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t need to replace them. I don’t find the new panels being that much better but I do not regret getting the new ones. Don’t gotta worry about replacing for 20 years and I have a 5 year warranty. I still have the old panels, to my ears they sounded great and had a...

I’m in college and I’m really young so I’ve never had the chance to acquire some ML merch. I own repaneled and recapped sl3s.

On the stuff you’re willing to part with, what are you looking to get out of it? I actually really like Bon Jovi, my mom’s a major fan so I’ve always had a soft spot for him. The hat and shirts are super cool! I’d love to buy or trade if you’re really willing to part with them!

Martin Logan doesn’t sell any merchandise and I’ve searched high and low for official stuff used. Anyone willing or wanting to part with any ML merch? I emailed them asking why they don’t anymore and they mentioned they might start it up soon again. Any help would be much appreciated.

I will keep this in mind when opening them on Monday to try and find the issue. Hopefully I can locate the issue and fix it quick and cost effectively. Thanks for this info, helps a lot!

This is something i eventually plan to do. Currently I am running a sunfire cinema grand with a Parasound P5 as preamp. Right now my main priority is to fix the imbalance. I am in college and this has all been expensive enough as it is so this project will be for a couple years out of school 😅 I...

Hello, I bought them from the first owner. There are sl3s. There is just a noticeable difference in loudness for the channels. From the panel and from the bass.

’ve been experiencing some channel imbalance with my Martin Logan’s. When changing the speakers it follows the issue, I assumed it was the room acoustics for awhile. It’s not the pre or power amp. What could cause a channel imbalance on a speaker? Maybe I got a bad panel? I got replacements a...

That was another option but I wanted to keep my setup to 1 amp. Emotiva said the xpa is capable of the job. It’s a cheaper alternative as well, I am in college so I need to be as cost effective as possible.

I am currently running my restored sl3s with a sunfire cinema grand. Part of me is wanting to move toward a more modern amp and I’ve always loved Emotiva gear. I called them and they said that the xpa-2 would match up well (I do not want to biamp). I am unsure how old the sunfire is but is...

They are available. Was hoping to get 150-200 out of them. What are they worth to you?

I just re did the panels and caps on my Martin Logan sl3s. However, the panels still sounded fantastic prior to upgrade. I am moving in with my long time girlfriend soon and wanted to avoid the conversation on spending what I did on the panels so I took care of it now. Now I have some really...

Thank you for the advice. I am currently learning about audio repair at a shop right now. I am in college and I love audio so I am rather new to the repair and modification side of it all. The person that is teaching me should be able to clarify my questions more. I haven’t talked to him much...

Do you know if there any capacitors related to the performance of the panels?

I’ve seen people mention that having a power amp with built in dsp and eq abilities is necessary. These are usually class D amps. I have an emotiva bass xa2 that does not have eq abilities or built in dsp. It is A/B. However on my preamp I have the capabilities to change bass, treble, and...

Do you know of any guides? The “active xo” would be from the 2nd amp correct? What do you mean by “in front” of the bass amp? Main amp powers ESLs while a second amp drives the woofers. How do you send the woofer signal to your preamp? How does volume control work with the two different amps...
