    Jeff Rowland Model 2

    Great looking, indeed! Is that great big coffee can on the right additionally shielded toroidal(s)?

    Martin Logan sl3 channel imbalance caused by bad Crossover transformer (t1). Need advice

    Probably a suggestion you might not want to consider, but have you considered going with an active crossover and adding a Class D-type amp to drive the low frequency drivers? There are several threads on this forum about it - here's one I like...

    BHK250 with SL3

    After the acquisition by Axiom (?), they shut down the Vermont facility, so it has to go back to Canada. It seems they killed the Refurbishment programs, too. Kinda sucks... Asides from great product, the level of service is what kept me going back to Bryston (4B NRB, 4B-ST, 9B-ST, and a...

    BHK250 with SL3

    Matter of interest, what are you feeling is the deficiency with the 4B-ST on the SL3's? Until recently that's what I've been using... my amp has started showing error status on power up, and Bryston is (surprisingly) doing a bit of a money-grab to repair. They used to do an entire refurb for...

    Destroying/modifying my Puritys

    I'm thinking that you might consider adding an external (little) box on top of your existing enclosures with a ribbon tweeter in there... something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/3256803008310174.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt ... but maybe with a higher-end ribbon/folded tweeter. Or...

    Bit late for April 1st jokes, Bob!

    AVR and ML XT F100

    Anthem might not be for everyone, tho' with terms in the presentation like "infinitely listenable to", it seems to come in pretty heavily as a positive Some of the points are well-founded: Fan noise: Has been addressed with a firmware update about 10-12 months back. Switching between HDMI Ports...

    Spikes vs. Gaia Isolation Feet

    Yeah, I actually started with my 100lb slabs on my SL3s and Aerius... I think it was the SL3s that had 3 spike receptacles for just the reason you mention, @Fidji99.

    AVR and ML XT F100

    Hiya. Second time I'm saying this is as many days, but you might look at the Anthem MRX 540 or MRX 740. Anthem is a sister company to ML, and the ARC ("Anthem Room Correction") is actually from them. The MRX receivers feature the complete ARC capabilities, and would help with your "irregular"...

    Adding an 'Odyssey Khartago' Power Amp

    @leifsundstrup - Hi! I assume you're only looking at a 2-channel (music) system? If not, I might suggest looking at a decent "1-box-stop", with something like an Anthem MRX 540 or 740. Anthem is a sister company of ML, and incorporate the more full-featured versions of ARC that ML uses on the...

    Spikes vs. Gaia Isolation Feet

    I am sure some of our members can get into the "finite element analysis" that might apply here, but: For a concrete floor, I would use spikes and drive them through the carpet/pad to the slab. Same for equipment rack feet, etc. Reason is, you will not get (audibly) noticeable resonances in a...

    Tubes or Solid State

    "On their way out" might mean the panels require washing (yeah, "washing"... there is a dedicated thread to it here, and mentioned all over the place), or, worst case, replacement. Before considering that, do you know if your Quest panels have already been replaced? You can look up the serial...

    Amp question Ss or tube?

    The subject line is a terribly subjective call... some folks love the sound of tubes, some don't. What IS pretty well established here is that the Sanders Magtech (even MORE so than the "ESL" amp) is ideally suited to driving ESLs, and it is unlikely you will find another amp that is more...

    Solid State Power Amp for Impression 11A speakers

    I did some searching a while back to find out more about the Devialet amps. Seems they might not be the best fit for low-imedence swings from the ESLs. @Klaus Andersen - have you used them with ML ESLs? Maybe things have changed in the last year or two?

    Room Size ? Esl 15a

    I'd put them in my bedroom! Some mood lighting behind the panels, and you're done!
