Guest Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) After dinner study on the Martin Logan CLS's second session on the Holton 050, 50w x 2 Adjust to standing almost vertical straight away looking for the sweet spot from the chair Pull out further from the rear of the room, chair about 2.3m from speaker panels Takes a little getting used to the ML's, (lack of impact) as soon as you move off axis you loose the image intensity on axis to the mm, woo hoo nice image. Otherwise have never heard a cone speaker reveal the type of mid bass intelligibility of these things period, is spooky actually. EDIT, you have to wait an hour for the gear to warm up to get that @davewantsmoore stinging for that 100w x 2 Mate Edited June 19, 2017 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auracle Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Did you want another 50W/ch amp to compare to? (No trouble throwing it into the back of the car.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a hankering to try a valve amp one day but yea, 50w valve normally would take a seat in a car . Auracle should throw his 50w amp in, might be a sleeper with some magic inside @kranky don't forget your helmet I think at @soundbyte is driving around Australia in the Troopy on the ML , good luck Mate. Linc if you can remember bring a copy of those tracks we used last time thanks Mate. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundbyte Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Matt, now back in town, troopy going well now, seems to be running properly, needs new shocks (ordered), paint job on the roof, bull bar and roof rack. Will give you a call tomorrow night if your free? Time? Waiting to see how the Kevlar drivers go, I might be able to use some of my spares up in my doors. May get time to come north, right now I have a bad cold, but am felling better. I could put all the tracks on Dropbox for you to download? Well... all apart from that Chuka Kahn track, I think that got banned last GTG? Things looking up, especially the hats! Photos a must of any that make an appearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'll try that tin foil hat thing - keep the vestigial brain warm, without compromising the auditory apparatus. Sound engineering at its best! Should've tried it today - got to 9 degrees in workshop - would have been warmer in 14 degrees at the annual nude swim this morning. Hey, could set a new trend... or is it our secret? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Russell glad to hear the Troopy is going well, new shocks won't make any difference to the ol bullock dray Mate . I'm keen to get those drivers in the doors as well hopefully soon. I'll shift the that track off the playlist so doesn't accidentally get played on the weekend Tomorrow night after dinner is great.

This 50 watter has had a lot of interesting descriptions for its sound. I'll leave it at that, -no clues either. What type of tin hats should we bring? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of room and those acrylic acoustic bats can be used as make shift mattress ' s with the upholstery cover and sheet.
