In Reply to: Martin Logan Quest Z speakers: balancing the woofer? Suggestions? posted by Laszlo on April 3, 2007 at 20:07:05:
I have an earlier pair of Quests (circa 1992). I tried a number of different 100 watt solid state amps that just did not work. Even a pair of good quality (museatex) 100 watt stereo amps that were used via bi-amping. I eventually got a pair of bryston 7bst monoblocks and suddely they really worked. Now, my room for these speakers is huge and with major volume and loud peaks the protection circuitry is occasionally tripped, but the speakers are fine in a minute or so.The deal suggestion may work, but the dyna was never a great low end amp. There are a lot of very nice older amps (forte, mc, ps audio, etc. etc.) that can be had for A couple of hundred bucks that could handle the woofer. AN older pair of bryston 4bst could be excellent.
The speakers can really sing, but lots of power is critical. In all honesty, I am surprised that your amp does the panels well. My problem was always with the panels, not the woofer.
