I've had both the Ascents and Odysseys in my room and I've heard the Vantages (although NOT in a nice controlled environment..try tweeter). Odysseys are by far the winner in a big room and I am very pleased with mine. The Ascents also sounded great in my room, which is treated, but needed a sub...

I do like them. I would call them neutral with no stand out, or over emphasis in any of the frequency range. I haven't switched them in a while, so I may put the King Cobras back in just to see how the sonic signature of the Marantz is augmented. That reminds me, I need to show an updated pic of...

excellent to hear they made it safe and sound! Shipping speakers is always a scary ordeal. I'm with the general consensus....Let's see some pictures!:D

It's good to have them a few inches off of the back wall, although only my bass traps are currently following that rule. I need to update my component cabinet picture as the Marantz SA-11S1 is now snugly tucked in. It's a keeper:music:

Great Googaly Moogaly! If you get those, I may just have to jump on a plane to head out to the west coast and see what they're all about. They look like monolithic statues:D

I'll have to try to find a pic of when I had them in the beveled frames. They looked much better than they do now, but they are in the places they should be and like you said, they make a huge difference in the room. In fact, it's simply the largest impact of anything I've done in the room...

very nice DTB, what fabric did you use? I went to Jo anne's fabric and picked up their speaker cloth.

I did DIY. owings Corning 703 and 705 2" and 4" wrapped in speaker fabric with a ply backer. I initially built these beautiful beveled frames for them so they would look very nice hung, but they added a lot of weight. in the end I went for the faster route.

I'm also going to advocate the Ushers. Fantastic speaker for the price!

First off, I'm jealous, and I want them :D Now, I used Roadway to get my Odysseys to me as they were too large for any other carrier except freight carriers. Roadway strapped them down and placed them on a pallet and I can't remember what I had the dealer do as far as the number they used to...

hey Joey! i've followed your posts for some time back when you just had Rotel gear and posted a lot on the Polk audio forum ( I think that's right). Since I was bitten by the upgrade bug, I followed a parallel path as you and always looked to see where Joey was headed next! But I also know you...

Good advice Dave. Funny, I threatened the seller after 6 emails with no response to have it charged back and boom, I have a tracking number. Supposed to be here tomorrow???!? :confused: If this is true, why didn't the seller just respond to the plethora of emails I sent? he didn't respond, just...

jason, I used a credit card through pay pal. Do you suggest I contact them directly in lieu of the escalation process through pay pal? Thanks, Adam

I'm dealing with a fraudulent seller right now about a harmony 1000 remote I purchased over ebay. I paid through paypal and am trying to dispute it. 5 emails to the seller with 0 response other than the first night when he said he forgot to send it and would send it out priority mail the next...

I did it! Pulled the trigger on the marantz SA-11S1. Can't wait to get it here and into the system to do some comparisons. I think this one just might be a keeper!
