Ah yes, you're definitely right, I remember it now. I'm just quite surprised that the Hifi Zenit rebuilt panels doesn't sound perfect. Is there an ML dealer near you where you can have a listen to compare?

Forgot to mention, that sounds about the results I got with Russ Knotts restoring my panels as well. They work but don't sound the same as new, and also some woofer imbalance.

I was considering having Hifi Zenit rebuild my Summit panels but your review has me worried. New panels from ML should sound perfectly blended with the woofers, with a sparkling and crisp high end.

My wife is perfectly happy with Google Nest speaker 🤷‍♂️

Please report back, would love to hear how it goes. Their prices are great for larger panels (which ML charges a lot for), not so great for smaller panels since I assume their cost is mostly labor which isn't all that different for different panel sizes. The price they quoted me for the Aeon i...

Hi Rehan, Where did you get your panels repaired?

If they are the same price I'd go with ML.

This is exactly what worn out panels sound like. Washing isn't going to help although you can give it a try. They need to be replaced. Since you are in Germany you try contacting https://www.hifi-zenit.de/ who rebuilds the panels for less than new ones cost from MartinLogan. If you do please...

You will very likely end up with comb filtering where the waves from the two speakers interfere with each other and you have dead spots and loud spots as you move along the axis.

Yes 20 years warranty based on date of manufacture. For amps it's transferrable.

Have been powering my Prodigies with a Bryston 4B-SST for well over a decade. That thing is built like a tank.

We use an air purifier for health reasons. And dehumidifier because at one point we had a mold issue due to the humidity (not uncommon for Singapore). Having both of these make the environment more pleasant, the fact it helps my panels is a bonus :)

Maybe Robert D was referring to me? I live in Singapore and we've communicated over many threads. I live in Singapore and have pairs of Prodigy, Summit and Aeon i. I think my climate is very similar to Philippines (hot and humid). I do have a dehumidifier and air purifier in my living room where...

Above about 600Hz your SPL is about 10dB down (65dB vs 75dB) so the panels are likely degraded. Room correction can fix it by boosting the level by 10dB then reducing frequencies below around 500Hz. It will be a lot more demanding on your amp.
