I didn't read through the entire thread so I am not sure if this has been answered but Martin Logan QC's all of their speakers that are manufactured overseas. They even go so far as to have speakers shipped in, QC'd and then ship them back overseas to distributors.

Living in Texas we seldom, if ever use the fireplace. I can't imagine it being a big loss if we can't use it due to that speaker being so close. I could shift the whole system to the left about 8" but that would off center it on the wall.

Marc, I really like my Summit X and I am glad I chose them over the Spire. If I had the Spire in my room there would be no question about whether or not I would need a sub. The Summit X are on the verge of good sub bass performance whereas the Spire (in my room at least) would certainly be...

I am a JL dealer as well and the Fathom subs are our preferred subwoofer. I would love to do a pair of the F110 but I don't quite have the space. I may be able to do a pair of the Grottoi due to the taper of the sub. With the Summit X toed in the Grottoi may just fit since they are wider in...

I fully understand that the speakers need to be off the wall more but it's not happening in this room. It would just look terrible and I simply don't have the room. I'll just have to live with it and focus on other ways of improving the sound. As far as the Mark Levinson amp, I love it. To...

Thank you! I'll post pictures of the entire room once all the custom furniture is in. I am still waiting on the ottoman and club chairs for the side of the room. I do have a beautiful, original Womb Chair from 1948 which was recently redone in leather that is in the living room now but it...

I agree. They should be farther away from the wall but I'm sorry, that would look pretty bad in this room.

Well, they've been in my new home now for a few weeks but I just now took a minute to take a few pics. I am a terrible photographer despite using a Rebel XS. <a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm128/tjmorgan9-2008/?action=view&current=IMG_1106.jpg" target="_blank"><img...

We do lots of JL dual sub setups including a few dual Gotham systems and have never used the Master/Slave option. If I remember correctly the master/slave option was more of a problem solving feature than a performance feature. It was intended to allow an easy upgrade path for customers who's...

If your friends are girls it would be an easy way to get them to sit in your lap! I understand though. I have my Summit X set up in my new house (pictures to come soon!) and the most comfortable seat is the chase at the end of my sectional but that puts you right in line with the left speaker...

I have a No433 (200 x 3) on my Summit X and they sound wonderful. I still have not moved into my new home (hopefully closing tomorrow!) so I have not had a chance to really critically listen to the combo. From what I have heard so far they sound great together. FWIW I have a customer with 4...

My Summit X are numbers 2 & 3 built in March. The underneath side of them (black ash) has a rougher, unfinished feel than the rest of the cabinet. I haven't laid them down to look at the bottom yet. I'm sorry but this really doesn't bother me at all. I probably wouldn't even care if it...

Gordon, Define 'needed'... I think one could be perfectly happy with the Summit X alone in a 2ch system for music. I feel like you would have to have a pretty limited music collection to not benefit from a subwoofer with the Summit X. My impression is a bit skewed relative to the output of...

Sorry, I wasn't necessarily referring to the amp increasing or improving the bass response but that in their final resting place in my house with the proper equipment they will sound different and certainly better than where they are now. I didn't mean to run that statement about my room and...
