Well, what is done is done. I went with the Anthem AVM60, Parasound A31 and they threw in a Parasound ZoneMaster 250 for the rears as well as a Paradigm PW 800 wireless speaker as part of Anthem's promo. I should take delivery tomorrow. Now I need to dig up some interconnects.

Anthem and Parasound were also two companies I was looking at (and about to go audition). As far as Marantz, I consider it an overpriced Denon (especially since several models are literally the same) and all three Denons I've ever owned had issues. I consider that brand to have poor QC and...

Not yet, but maybe probably eventually. The reality is I was going in to buy the 600 series towers as my fronts (and already had the 600 series center). I found a deal on the Ethos that I couldn't pass up and I had wanted a pair of ML ESLs for a long time. Immediately I noticed the center to be...

How is this system going to be used? Mix of home theater and music. What percentage of music vs. home-theater? If you have to make a choice/compromise with regards to feature or sound-quality, which will you pick? SQ before features, though I expect a min viable feature set. I don't really need...

The woofers have built in powered amps on the Ethos, so that wouldn't be needed.

Been following a while but haven't posted before. I just recently picked up a pair or MartinLogan Ethos as fronts as well as a Motif-X center channel. While they sound great, they do sound limited versus what I've heard them do and know they're capable of. I am currently using a Pioneer SC-91...

Deals on ebay etc aren't really a concern to me. I work for MHT part time so the deals are taken care of, but limited to the Design series. Looking at the Matinee center instead of the Motif, as that's what is available to me. The reason I was considering a Source for the rear is that I would...

Not interested in picking up the Vantages. They are out of my budget and out of the question. I'm mainly concerned with the three options that I presenting in my original post. I also would love for someone to address the concerns that I brought up, as I believe they are very valid concerns to...

So here's the situation... I am selling my current speaker setup and am going to upgrade to some MLs. Nothing crazy, just low end design series as it's what I can afford. If I can get what I want for my entire surround setup I can get 2-3 MLs but not an entire setup right off the bat...
