I was just thinking that someone else must have used a Pioneer Elite MCACC setup with their MLs before in a surround setup besides me. One would assume that if the error was due to the bipolar nature of the stat panel of the Odyssey the Vistas would have a similar issue. Although the...

Yes. So when you run the MCACC initial setup, it goes through all of the channels quickly as an initial test and to determine how many speakers are hooked up. The center channel Motif and rear Vistas register fine. The newly purchased Odysseys that I have as my front L and R come up as ERROR...

I really appreciate the input and I believe you but was wondering if there was a workaround since I would still like to use the MCACC for my surround setup and room compensation.

Thanks for the reply! But if it was due to the nature of electrostats wouldn't the Vistas have caused the same error in calibration?

Hey guys. I just purchased a preowned pair of Odysseys to replace the Vistas I was using for the front channels in my 5.1 setup. The Vistas have now moved to the back. When I was running the MCACC on my Pioneer SC-63 it is flagging an error stating that the front left and right speakers are...

When I was looking to purchase my MLs I had the same choice as you did. I spent a great deal of time listening to both at my local dealer and ended up with the Vistas. The choice between the powered woofer on the Vantage vs unpowered on the Vista may also depend on what you are using to power...

I've been using a variety of AV receivers over the years purely as a preamp/surround processors. I send the pre out signals to Parasound power amps. I swap out receivers whenever there is a new technological advance but dont necessarily buy the top of the line. I'm happy with mid priced...

My wife bought me a ML Matinee center channel speaker for Christmas. Excited to listen to it with the Vistas in my theater I hooked it up and ran through the Audyssey auto calibration setup. Much to my dismay the Matinee sounded terrible. Worse than the Infinity center that it replaced. It...

I cruised two years ago but the bumper to bumper crawl became very tedious. Since then I park on a side street and take my camera in hand to capture the sights and excitement. FYI for those who dont know... The Woodward Dream Cruise is the world's largest single day auto enthusiast event held...

I think the difference you are describing is due to the differences in the size of the electrostatic panel. The Source and Puritys share the same smaller electrostatic panel which limit the size of their sweet spot. I noticed the same thing with the Source at BestBuy and after auditioning...

Before I make permanent marks on my wood floor by installing the ETC spikes for my new Vistas I was wondering what if any products are available to "cap" the spikes yet still allow them to couple with the floor. Does anyone make tiny metal thimbles to put over the spikes? I've seen a company...

I ended up getting the upgrade bug even before I received my Sources... Like any ML enthusiast would I went ahead and cancelled my order for the Sources and moved up a couple of notches to a pair of Vistas. They've been hooked up to a Parasound amp for a few days now and after fidgeting with...
