New panels

[david515mi]

Is it normal for new panels to sound gritty and congested before break-in? I’m certainly hearing some good things in comparison with the old ones (speakers are Quest-Z), but the treble is sounding a bit “dirty.”

Not sure what you mean by gritty-? distortion. New panels will sound thin, tizzy, and "not right" for 90-120 hrs. There is a definite break in period,-your results may vary. But you will be rewarded.

Did the sound improve?

 

[david515mi]

Yes; all is good!

Glad to hear it. I have Quest Z’s and may have the same issue at some point.

My understanding is that the good news is that new panels are not very difficult to install. The bad news is that they are a slightly different color (brownish) which may not compliment my all black speakers.

can you confirm?

i don’t notice the different coloring, but that’s probably because I have oak (?) side rails, as in the pic.

Hey people, I have pair of Quest Z, how do I order replacement panels? I tried email Martin Logan and never even got a response....I also read about a guy on this site that rebuilds panels but I'm not sure he is in business anymore. Thanks for any help

How long have you waited for a reply from them? Ron always replies really fast to me in email. I've got reposnses same day many times. A few times just an hour or two later, as part of an email chain.

It could be because of the holidays. Email was the way to go about things a couple of years ago when I ordered my Prodigy panels.

Maybe the email you used was off?
