Martin Logan Monolith III one note bass fixed

Planar Speaker Asylum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

It`s done a friend helped me measure the resonant peak, which was about 4-5db at 40hz. The LCR network to get this flat is 18mh in series with 900uf in series with 5.6ohm across the bass speaker, in the Monolith`s case it`s easy to fit outside as the xover is outside the box.
These values for the LCR are for my speakers which are 100% stuffed this may vary from the standard which is only 30% stuffed.
Anyhow the bass is now tight smooth and dynamic, much different to the standard one note bass the the Monoliths had.
One day i may do the standard measurements, but i like the detailed tight sound of an overdamped, low Q bass, it suits my not so large listening room.
