Synergistic HFT’s with Martin Logan’s

Is anyone using synergistic HFT/FEQ with Martin Logan’s, or any other panel or electrostatic-speakers? Any placement notes??? I was thinking I could expand my sweet spot... I started with 12 HFT and ended up creating this space that sounds huge... notes just hang in the air forever. The speakers are still there, but I haven’t received my FEQ yet, and I haven’t done the speaker HFT speaker kits. 
What are your thoughts ?

  I have a total of 18 hft's in my room consisting of  wide angles, X , 2.0 and normal. Made a big difference in sound but as stated not the sweet spot.

  I also have the hft. There is new one out now 4 times stronger than the original.

  I haven't bought the hft's for the speakers. I am not sure if they work with Martin logans.

Too much of anything can have a negative effect.
For me, too many HFTs on the same wall hurts the sound.

Please send the link on SR website of the new product.
I am not seeing it.  Did they contact you with some kind
of advance notice?

Is it your personal experience that "not sure if they work"
or just your armchair wisdom?

Looks like you're on a roll, "three for three"... what other
gems are you holding back?

I concur with sgordon.  I have one of these and, although I don't have much time with it yet, I like what it does.

Hello, I am new here on Audiogon. Please allow me to introduce myself briefly:

My name is Rino, I am 66 years of age and I have been fiddling with HiFi for more than 45 years. It has always been my aim to achieve the best possible sound spending the least possible money.

I am fully aware that this thread is a few years old. Despite that I hope to be able to wake some of you up to receive some long-time experience from you on the Synergistic Research HFT "Buttons".

I myself, living in Germany, by coincidence stumbled over this Product a few weeks ago. Now after having installed some DIY HFT “Buttons” - all 4 Levels plus the speaker Kit. I am looking for possible optimizations moving the HFT´s (up/down, back/forth, right and left) to obtain the best results.

My System contains of:

  • Turntable Systemdek IIS with Helios Scorpio tome arm and Ortofon MC 20 S cartridge
  • Audio Innovations Series 1000 Moving Coil Impenance Matching Transformer
  • Cambridge cxc CD drive
  • Audio Note DAC 1
  • Audio Note Preamp M1 Phono
  • Two Audio Innovations S800 Stereo Main Amps, driven in vertical passive bi-amping
  • Martin Logan Aerius (not i) - Panels renewed 4 years ago and X-over components upgraded

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience. Highly appreciated.
