My weekend

Andy - I found the spikes made a big difference to mine (as JJ took around 4 months to get me the spikes).

The thread is an imperial one. I know the shearwaters use a 3/8th UNC, but the kestrels use a much smaller thread. It could be 1/4 UNC.

 

Would the american size not be imperial 1/4 " or 5/8" possibly. Trip to B&Q to buy some cheap screws to get size.

Edit Issac got there first

 

penance, why not try meadowlark directly for some spikes? otherwise maybe wm could suggest a possible supplier from across the water.
cheers

OK, ill try and get to B&Q tomorrow and get a handfull of bolts.
From the website it seems ML only do some steal spikes, by the time i pay for shipping i could probably buy or get some basic brass ones made.

 

I'll be asking you for cable advice before that happens

Andy - I know James was winding you up, but there's still no need for personal insults.

James - please don't wind people up just for fun

Lights out now children

Michael.

 

G'night John Boy, g'night Mary Ellen,......Da da da da da daaaa.....

 

Morning Pa

Left the DVD player on repeat today, should start settling them in.

 

Andy stop worrying about them they will sound great, but you need new posts and Spikes, then they will really come on song, why not connect the Dyns up just now until they are sold or until you have your new parts.

 

I'm loathed to do that AK, incase i dont get round to sticking the ML's back on soon enough.
I'm going on the theory of more play will sort them sooner.
A long listen last night and i concluded i do need to move them about, maybe closer together, that will get them away from the sloping wall's of the bay window.
I'm not panicing, just impatient

 

Yup me to mate, me to. I think that spikes will make all the difference, heres a left field try, if you find bolts at B&Q why not use them intil you've got spikes, should give much the same effect.

 

According to the ML site, they are 1/4-20 thread, i think that is 1/4" course. So now i know what to get

 

Penance

Please refrain from using ML to refer to Meadowlarks

In hifi terms, ML means Martin Logan who make proper speakers. Why not try MDWL

 

Sorry Sir

100 lines, I must not confuse Logans with Larks

 

I'm sorry merlin, you're wrong...in hifi terms ML means Mark Levinson

Michael.

 

Aarrgghh! The MLs, the MLs... :WMarrives

 

Michael Please! I'm never wrong! you should know that by now

 

I do hope that Martin Logan & Mark Levinson aren't the victims of some terrible glitch in the matrix, whereby any kit referred to as 'ML' for short is automatically crap.

I think we should be told.

 

I can understand your dislike of Logans James - their qualities are totally at odds with your goals.

But Levinson kit is basically posh studio gear. Overpriced yes, but still apparently good enough to be used by a number of world famous mastering engineers in preference to active monitors

 

I thought that was my role?

Michael.

 

No you are wrong there
