FWIW I tried that and I could not detect any audible effect. To put this into context I started years ago with a 4 x Clarity + Theater i + Descent 5.1 system, which I upgraded with the help of 2 Summits to a 7.1 system. Overall I was not unhappy, but also not really happy with the sound...

Don't be mistaken to expect any support at all. Just to the opposite. I ran innocently into the trap of buying Summits during an extended vacation in the US. Yes, the price was a factor (since when is this illegitim in the home country of capitalism?), but not the only one. It was just being...

My very gut feeling tells it will.

Don't forget that I have spent the money already, so nothing brings it back to me :rolleyes: Thus your statement that given a $4k budget you would still purchase a Theater and nothing else was good news from my viewpoint ;)

I have to say that I am not angry to hear that ;) For me making a real comparison is awfully difficult. I think it could be done only in my home, and chances are slim for getting a dealer to move various speakers to my home, just for getting the chance of a fairly mediocre $4k business. And...

I can very well understand the price/performance point and I have the impression you made a good decision. However, when looking from the other end - and high end sometimes means voluntarily violating reasonable price/performance - then I am asking myself what would be the best possible center...

This sounds a bit like you may have compared also center speakers from other manufacturers for operating in a ML environment. If so, I would be very interested in your opinion, which speakers would be a good match to a well done ML setup, if price is not the primary consideration. I am not...

Do you know by chance whether it is possible with the SMS-1 to introduce a time delay by any means? I use 2 subs with different distances from the seating place, and it would be handy if I could use the SMS for both room and distance correction.

Everybody should have the right to buy everywhere with his legal money. This is just *my* opinion (And the one of WTO, antitrust laws, etc.). But I admit: Martin Logan probably does not want to learn this. I'll have to live with that, and I can.

I just took the numbers from your post. But let's not bore the people in this forum with extended math sessions ;)

16% of $5,000 is $800 (16% of your US price should even be less), so this should leave $1,400 of the $2,200... But be it as it may be, everybody must make his own decision, and I've told a story which supports everybody to do just that.

I didn't bypass it.

Hi guys, I thought one or the other might benefit from my experiences. As some of you already know I had innocently purchased a pair of Summits during a US vacation, and when back home in Germany I thought they were defect. Only after long frustrations I found out that ML has designed a...

I thought I keep you guys updated with the - temporarily - final outcome: 1. my US dealer had no success in getting support from ML. 2. the German importer took my request for a quotation, and since now 2 weeks hasn't shown a reaction. I can only guess that at present he still checks with his...

Good to hear, sigh. So hopefully I'm not drawn into the mental upgrade pressure, which is so bad either for satisfaction or for the wallet. In my setup I have no problem with the size of the Theater.
