New Electro Motion owner, need 1 power cord, anything special required?

[psurunner]

Lucky new owner of an open box pair of ElectroMotion ESL which were very heavily discounted at Best Buy. Considering I saved about $2,000 off of list price I was willing to live with the fact that 1 woofer grill and 1 power cord were missing.

Does this generic Amazon power cord look like it would do the trick? Can’t wait to join the electrostatic club!

I'd suggest you just order it from ML... they're affordable and you don't have to second-guess anything or trust that the 3rd party supplies are labeled correctly.

Thanks Russr, I ordered from Martin Logan.

For anyone else in a similar situation, 1 power cord was $36 plus shipping.

The M/L customer service folks were very quick and excellent communication!

M/L customer service has the woofer grills too. I had to order one for my EM-ESL's.

Picked up a grill $16, and 8 rubber feet at $1 a piece as well.

Now all I need to do is carefully pull out a dented dust cap in the woofer. Going to try the duct tape trick first.

Not bad considering I’m all in for a sort of brand new pair of Electro Motions under a grand.

Can’t wait to get them fired up and dialed in!

To be clear, this isn’t just a “power cord”. A power cord just needs the right connectors, assuming your speaker is designed to operate at your country’s voltage. This is a power supply, technically a “wall wart”. For a big ticket item like a ML speaker I second the recommendation to go to ML for it. Too many things to go wrong and cause damage.

In the future everyone please distinguish between power cords and wall warts. ML has used both and it can get confusing following threads.
