How about that? 100 hrs recommended break-in time and Tanner still thinks they're changing at 200 hrs!

Don't tell Ethan

While I agree with most of what Ethan believes, this area is not one of them !

Speakers, like many mechanical things, may require a break-in period. IIRC, from ages ago, some panels seem to require more time than conventional dynamic speakers. That said, my memory s that Maggies took much longer than 'stats, but 100 hours or so seemed enough. YMMV - Don

But Sean Olive told it us break-in is a figment of our imagination.

We are all set to review the newest CLX with subs system. I know Myles loves the MLs. JV did a review a while back and I think it was a rave, but it was sans subs and a first gen CLX. ML is touring the country with the current system, it may be one of the the best buck banger's available. Has anyone "heard" the system on tour? I think the AVShowrooms main studio will be a perfect fit for the MLs. They like to be with in 32" of the rear wall and have a nice wide spread. This will give a 11.5" equilateral triangle listening set up. I believe JV had them (far) closer together.

 

[DonH50]

11.5' (feet?) Otherwise, that is definitely near-field listening...

Missing the bottom octave'ish has always been one of the detractions from the CLX,and trying to find a sub that integrates decently a pain (though worth the effort). What subs do you plan to use, or is ML pairing them with one of their's?

 

[Peter Breuninger]

Don,

ML has their own subs with gobs of adjustments. I'll make sure I show and describe on camera what they do and how they work. Yes, I'm a near field long wall listener and 11 to 12 feet work for me. I assert that this set up helps to minimize the room. I really enjoy short wall listening but for reviewing I want to take as much of the room out of the equation, so long wall it is. In fact, this is a good thread topic!

 

[DonH50]

I was joking about the 11.5" (inches) in your post above...

Since panels tend to act as line line sources and do not radiate much from the sides (or top and bottom) I would think you've already taken much of the room out of the equation, especially using near-field position. The back wave is the biggest thing to contend with... I have often preferred them along the "short" wall so I can get the listening room away from the center to reduce the impact of room modes, but there are so many variables (speaker radiation pattern, actual room size, listening position, etc.) I am not sure there is a hard and fast rule. Other than to arrange according to SWMBO if it's not a dedicted room.

I am looking forward to your review. While I have heard MLs a few times, I am not sure I have heard their stand-alone subs, certainly not recently.

 

[Gregadd]

Peter I think this means 11.5"(11.5 inches) and this means 11.5' (11.5 feet).

11.5" equilateral triangle listening set up.

Which did you mean feet or inches?

 

[Peter Breuninger]

I must get more sleep before I post " ' " " ' " ' "

 

[DonH50]

Hey, when you say near-field, you really mean it! - Don (just waiting for my next typo...)

 

[Gregadd]

That's a marriage made in heaven.

Greg,

Have you found this clip randomly online or what? I'm just curious as the shop Audiophile Club has been established by a friend of mine

 

[Gregadd]

I periodically check U-tube for CLX videos.

I see, so it's just a coincidence

Not anymore.
