This looks and probably sounds wonderful, but I have a few questions about the effects of this from my expereince with the CLS Z and other ML models.
I'm not sure if this is better addressed to Gregadd or Nsgarch, but was the spitting and arcing addressed at all by the added rigidity and mass of the Soundanchor stands and/or Depth subwoofer? S & A was more frequency dependent with my CLS Z's than temperature or humidity dependent(apprpox. 80 Hz arced dependably; hell on well mic'd acoustic bass). When this was happening, I discussed this with at length with Jim Power of ML who was unable to resolve the problem, but certainly agree that their level of customer support at all levels was tremendous.
What about panel slap? I had thought that this was entirely a design problem until I found it to be tube dependent via tube rolling with some recordings with my Quest Z's. For the curious on this, recording dependent panel slapping with my personal favorite tube for my Modwright Platinum level mods on Sony 999, Sylvania GB 5687, but not with presently used Amperex 7199; happens with 1st track of Pat Martino's CD, Remember. It has never happened with anything on the turntable.
I do miss these speakers and wonder about trying again.
Thanks for any thoughts you might have on this.
