| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? Actually, Roger Sanders *DOES* claim to be the inventor of curved electrostatic panels in the late 70's (see his FAQ page here), but he subsequently decided that flat ESL panels sounded better. Gayle MARTIN Sanders (along with Ron LOGAN Sutherlan... | |
| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? ...The ESL panels on the old ones were held by a frame solid, not flapping around in the breeze (say goodby to solid imaging) useless to spike these new ones they still flap...This is nonsense. The current Masterpiece line has a new panel frame wh... | |

| company purchased--founder-designer leaves--establishes new smaller company MartinLogan- Ron Logan Sutherland (now Sutherland Engineering) and Gayle Martin Sanders (new startup Eikon Audio).ML has clearly succeeded without those two at the helm. Sutherland Engineering has a great reputation, and it remains to be seen how... | |
| Bel Canto Dac 3.7 in 2018? Just curious if anybody has upgraded their older DAC 3.5VB to the 3.7VB? Bel Canto no longer even lists the 3.7VB on their website, but still offers upgrades for older 3.5's (for $500). Does the sonic improvement (if any) justify the expense? | |
| Another Speaker Recommendation Request chuck929,If you’re in the Tampa Bay area, check out the Suncoast Audiophile Society, where you can hear various member systems, and pick our brains for speaker recommendations.Also, some club members are organizing the first annual Florida Audio E... | |
| Martin Logan Summit X vs Impression 11A I upgraded from legacy Summits to the Expression ESL 13A's. Both have dual 10" woofers, but the Expressions have a slightly larger panel size. I never considered the Impression 11A's (same panel size as Summits but dual 8" woofers), as I wanted ... | |
| South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort! We had about 25 active members, but slow growing due to limited word of mouth. After migrating to Meetup, lots of local audiophiles started finding us! We now have over 100 members (60+ active), and a sister club spun off in Sarasota (also on Me... | |
| South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort! I suggest using Meetup (an online Social Network focusing on aggregating folks with similar interests) to get a South Florida audio club going. Our local (Tampa Bay) Suncoast Audiophile Society quadrupled in size after we migrated to Meetup. The... | |
| Tampa Bay Area Audiogoners Bumping this thread! The Suncoast Audiophile Society (https://www.meetup.com/Suncoast-Audiophile-Society/) is alive and well, with over 100 members, including some from Central Florida and as far south as Sarasota. Now, there is also a "sister" ... | |

| IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A Scorpio... I purchased the Summit X spikes from ML for my legacy Summits, as Mids and Highs are very sensitive to "rake angle" (i.e. tilt) of the panel. The default angle for Summits and Expression 13A's is ~5°, but using the Summit X legs, I've ... | |
| IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A I auditioned both the 15A and 13A. The 15A has a wider and taller panel, with complete vertical orientation, so slightly larger "sweet spot" and perhaps a tad deeper bass. Midrange and highs essentially no different. IMHO, the 15A is ideal for a l... | |
| Dipole Asymmetry Before throwing in the towel on stats, you might consider Janszen hybrid electrostatic speakers, which can be placed closer to the wall because they have a closed cabinet with back wave absorption. | |
| Dipole Asymmetry I agree with prior post re trying to maintain symmetry by placing something acoustically equivalent behind the right speaker as well (perhaps even something on wheels, if can't locate there permanently).I have ML Expression's (formerly had Summit'... |
