Part I because I don't think I'm hearing it's full potential yet, and I'm recovering from the flu with a stopped up head....
I know you guys know what I have equipment wise, but for the lurkers...er, guests...
Associated gear:
Thorens TD-125 MK II 'table
Shure SME 3009 II Improved tonearm
Shure V15 IV HE cart
Teac V-8000S cassette deck
Fostex E-2 RtR deck
Panasonic CD/DVD don't laugh, it's really very nice for redbooks
Marantz 2270 receiver for a pre-amp
Yamaha MX-800U amp
Martin Logan, the Sequels
Well, first, where's the bass?? Is this thing on? Yep, the pretty blue light is lit. I actually sounds pretty dang good. Just the bass is sorely lacking. I need to back up abit, it has an amazing grip on the 'stat panels. By that I mean, the bass coming from them is much more intense than with the Yammie.
Playing my acid test Cd "Companion" ~ Patricia Barber, the song 'Use Me' the acoustic bass strings actually sound on the panel like they are on the instrument heightwise, then bring in the bongo's and that wicked Hammond B-3 all at the same time, every sound is deleinated in the space, just not the low, low notes. Maybe it needs more play time to settle in.
I know some curcuitry needs burn-in time, and or warm up time to sound it's best, I plan a full on assualt tomorrow. Speaking of which, 70wpc just ain't gonna cut it with the Logans in my room, I detected some nasty distortions near the clipping point. It's been awhile since I had an amp clip, so it took me by surprise, yowch! Not pretty sounding close to the edge.
I'm really, truely amazed at it's interaction with the 'stat panels, that was really unexpected.
