Hi,
I wish I had thought of visiting this forum sooner, I've learned so much about ML in the last 2 days. Well this is my question...
My set up is
Sony Bravia LCD
ML Quest '93
Denon AVR-2307CI
Mirage Os3 center speaker
Cambridge audio 640A Azur
Infinity sub
PS3, XBOX360, DVD player and HD cable
I have a pair of '93 ML Quest, that my uncle was kind enough to give to me. I instantly fell in love with them. They seem to be rarely used and in great condition. I thought this was great since I just got a new Sony Bravia LCD for Christmas.:rocker:...So I did the next logical thing and went out to buy a receiver. This is where the forum would have helped and I learned tough and great lesson in the world of hi-performance audio and video equipment.
Its been a year since I decided to tweak the system again. Now the system seems to fall short in expectations in potential performance. I was told from electronic equipment salesman that the the amp might be too weak to handle the Quest. But, I also spoke with someone from ML and they also suggested changing out the panels for 700.00. In my opinion the panels seem well maintained and I've been caring for them as well, thanks to the great advice from members of the forum.
Back to the tweaking...I just started to really dig into the advance features of the receiver through the "manual channel level "settings. I was trying to match the L and R Quest to the center speaker and sub. Since, the center speaker was always much louder than the ML. I noticed it took the center speaker to be set to -12dB and the ML Quest to +7.5dB for them to sound close. The settings were almost to the end of the each others range..." Does it matter what I'm watching while testing, that is what source is used for the settings?"
So, to sum up the questions to the pro's :bowdown: is it my settings on my AVR, the panels on the Quest, or the amp.
I do appreciate any help...I would love to maximize the potential of these beautiful ML... without selling the house
Thanks ML lovers :rocker:
