Thinking about buying new speakers....the Elac Uni Fi5 towers or the Klipsch hersery lll
Another vote for Klipsch Forte or Quartet.  They both will have pretty decent bass and that signature Klipsch sound.  I owned Quartet personally, and while they ended up not being my personal cup of tea, if you are looking for the things that they... 
Integrated amplifier search
s7horton, interesting choice with that Micromega.  Do you notice any fan noise? 
A Shockingly Straightforward Query
an10490413, for what its worth, I use Pass Labs amplification with my Montis (INT-150).  I'm sure many others will work as well. 
Yamaha A-S3000 Vs Marantz PM-10 (new reference line)
Just curious, the Marantz literature state the PM-10 is a "pure analog amplifier".  But those power modules sure do look like class D.  Can anyone confirm? 
Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers
smills59...if you decide to go w/ the Sanders ESL, I am getting ready to sell a Parasound P3 pre.  It will definitely not bust your budget. 
Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers
Waiting to hear an update on this.  There have been a few similar threads recently on tubs vs SS for Martin Logan.  I am in the SS camp but admit I have not tried tubes with the MLs.  Also smills59, what speaker cables are you using? 
A Shockingly Straightforward Query
I have personally owned a few Carver amplifiers but not his latest tube efforts.  I am also a current Martin Logan (Montis, which was replaced in the line up by your 11As, so very similar) owner.  I think you need to be very careful pairing a tube... 
Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years
Only owned and listened to one, Pass INT-150, which is my current amp.  Did own the Pass designed Adcom GFA-5802 (2 of them in a bi-amp system driving Infinity IRS Gammas).  I owned them a few years apart and drastically different speakers, so I c... 
Speaker cables for Martin Logan Montis
Cool...what is your EE specialty?  Mine is dc/dc converters.  I've made several pairs of speaker cables in the past, nothing special though.  If I go the Mogami route, I will definitely build my own.  The alpha core seems it might be marginally le... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
A few years ago I bought a pre-owned Pass INT-150.   I replaced a Wyred4sound 4 channel amplifier, because I no longer needed to bi-amp.  Talk about going from apples to oranges... The Pass was kind of an impulse buy.  I did not compare to anythin... 
Speaker cables for Martin Logan Montis
Spatialking, I don't disagree with any of that.  Most certainly you would want the cable capacitance much less than the panel capacitance.  So do you have any particular recommendation fro cables for ESL?  for mine LF is not an issue as they have ... 
Speaker cables for Martin Logan Montis
Spatialking...Thanks for the response.  The way I understand it, inductive impedance goes up with frequency, so high inductive cables may cause HF roll off.  Capacitive impedance decreases with frequency, so high capacitance cables my present dang... 
Martin Logan Motion 60XT, best value ?
I have listened some to those ML 60XTs.  I thought they were on par with similar offerings from Klipsch, etc.  Mediocre, but not terrible, and this is coming from an admitted ML fan.  I agree with others, if you are considering ML, you should look... 
Solid platforms or speaker stands for JBL L65s?
I used to have L100s.  I found a stand with some tilt mandatory.  At less than 12" rise, I did not feel the bass suffered (actually probably an improvement to reduce the room interaction).  I don't know about your room, but placing speakers on a r... 
Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable
jetter,If you decide to sell your MI2, let me know.  I would like to try them with my ML ESLs.
