Not a bad choice - what made you choose them - and where did you purchase them?Do I need to type anything?
We talked about this the next day it happened. I work at UPS. It's unreal how much they stress safety. A lot of it is probably for their own financial security, but a little bit is for us as wellYour speakers went through a lot on their journey. Poor things.
Should arrive today, they were sent as an Air SaverMan,that sucks! That's the worst. Your excited for your new speakers,now you have to wait for a week or more to get replacements.![]()
Yes, one was chipped, as seen in the first two pictures between the midrange and woofer. Almost inline with the Martin Logan printShipping damage ? It happens unfortunately.![]()
^^What am I missing?
NewML does make a good looking speaker, hopefully you get a replacement sent out soon. Did you buy them new or secondhand?
This is a private message that I sent, edited for the sake of your question:Not a bad choice - what made you choose them - and where did you purchase them?
Well yes, Martin Logan would be better than the HTD Level ThreeThis is a private message that I sent, edited for the sake of your question:
"Yeah, I pulled the trigger. The chip just sank my heart, by replacements, yes I am replacing both, should be here toady. I'm honestly nervous/anxious about it. I also am using the Motion 15 bookshelf as a center.
*I was asked if I pursued the Chane speakers: I never tried the Arx speakers. I felt like the Motion 40s were just a class above those and the HTD Level 3s.
I did a quick set-up with 2-channel in pure mode and the difference was instantly noticeable. Some of my favorite tracks sounded so much cleaner and the clarity was fantastic. It pulled in sounds that I never noticed before on some tracks (with the Level 3s). I didn't even need to do a side by side to hear the difference - I actually didn't do one.
After I ran audyssey calibration quickly, I actually didn't like what it did. It brought up the treble too much and the bass isn't as enjoyable. So I am a little stuck there, maybe I fudged something up. I'm getting 4 panels from ATS acoustics sometime next week. It will be a pretty partial treatment with 4 panels, but more will be added. I need to do more research because the panels for the left and right side walls will need to be special cut because the left side of my room reflection is a closet door and the right side is a window. I'm thinking that Auralex (I probably just bombed the spelling) basic foam will be simple enough to stick on a door with some 3M tabs and can be cut.
Awesome! That's great news that they took care of you! Let us know how they sound..Should arrive today, they were sent as an Air Saver
Thanks, my issue is visually. Its a non dedicated HT, rather, a bedroom. I guess it's just my makeup that made me choose the towers. My visual preference is a strong factor it seems.Well yes, Martin Logan would be better than the HTD Level Three
The Motion 40 has a 5 db rise between 500 and 1 khz - and a 4 db rise after 10 khz
They are voiced to stand out some, in the showroom - so do to preference, some EQ
is needed - Plus room treatments will help.
You went with Martin - however from your list, I would have chosen the Atlantic Tech.
However, not a bad call - hope things work out - and enjoy the adventure!
