Martin Logan with Sonic Frontier Power 3

Thanks for the feedback. Several of your suggestions put me on the right track. Hooked up a VTL 5.5 preamp. Dramatic improvement. The system is still too bright and "ringy" to me. I am expecting a VTL450 this week as next step. Will post my learning. Myoussif when do you expect your Power3??

I also have a pair of the ML Requests powered by a Bel Canto EVO 200.2(great amp!) I have an Audible Illusions Modulus 1 tube pre-amp. I still have the same forward or bright sound that all of you describe. I have been told to change IC's and see what happens. Coincident or HT Truthlinks have been recommended. Interesting in hearing if any of you have found a solution....

Sorry Jfarkas, I didn't answer you question earlier, I will not get them until mid January since I live overseas and I had them shipped with a friend of mine who is moving his households to UAE in a big container, (saved me shipping and customs). I hope you were able to find a solution

Now that I got my SFI Power 3 amps up and running, I tell you guys, to all of you who have ML ReQuest, please do yourself a favor and buy Sonic Frontiers amps they sound great with the ReQuest. Everything we were complaining about using the Brystons 7Bs with the ReQuest is no longer there. I now enjoy music much more. I am a beleiver in Tube amps now. thought you would like to know.

I wanted to "throw my thoughts into the fray", here, also, because I too own reQuests and came within a knat's hair of buying a pair of S.F. Power 3's. I've never heard the Power 3's, but I can tell you (from an "audition earlier today) that ANYONE with a pair of reQuests should hear the INNERSOUND (kinda ironic, isn't it?) ESL AMPLIFIER. This little (comparatively speaking) beast kicked the tar out of my Krell FPB300 (!!), in ALL parameters. Really "lit up" my reQuests and brought 'em to life in a way I didn't think possible. What I once thought (in the past) was the speakers "compressing" on dynamics, was, believe it or not, always the freakin' amp. Anyway, I've tried all kinds of brands, types, config., of amps out there, but have never heard the reQuests sound this good. DEFINATELY WORTH LOOKING INTO! Also, see the newest TAS for a review (it's what prompted me for a closer listen).
