Thanks... That is exactly what I'm planning to do... start by running the Vantages from my AVR, then later add a separate 2-channel amp for the vantages, then later, replace my current sub, maybe replace the surround with ESL logans, add other amp.... The biggest fear is... now that I'm...

Since a 2 channel amp is cheaper than 5 channel, I'd be able to get a much better 2 channel amp than 5 channel amp on the same budget. Having the dedicated 2-channel amp power the main speaker, would allow the Denon to power only 3 speakersm which it should be able to do with relative ease. of...

You have a similar issue than I have... I want to use my Denon AVR-3808 with my new ML speakers. i actually decided to go with the Vantages (instead of Vistas), because I believe those are much easier to drive (since they're powered) and will be much better fit to an integrated receiver. So...

using power amp with Denon pre-amp So... What I'm thinking now is that I could use my Denon as the pre-amp, run the center, sub and surrounds directly from the Denon 3808 AVR, and connect the pre-out from the Denon for the mains (FR&FL) to a power amp, and plug the Vantages into the power amp...

Hi Paulo !!! Great looking maple vantages... That's what I'm ordering (too bad I can't find them immediately... I have to wait 6 weeks). Great Looking system and room :) regards Rodrigo PS: Are you Brasillian?

What would you recommend for surrounds??

It's just a beautiful room... my object of desire :)

Will my vantage setup ever look as good as this?

Maybe later I'll go with the source as surround... :)

It's the maple VANTAGES for me I decided.... I'm going with the maple Vantages, and Motif center !!! Now I have to find them... the cherry and black are standard, but maple are order only, so it'll take a few weeks to get them in. Maybe I can find some dealer that has them in stock. UPDATE: 6...

I currently have Monitor Audio Gold signature speakers for front, center and surrounds (they work wonderfully with the Denon). I'll only replace the fron and center with Vantages and Motif. Later, I'll look at what to do with the surrounds, but for the moment, I'll keep both the Denon receiver...

I will setup my system with the Vantages and Motif and hook then up to my Denon receiver... I think it'll be a great way to start, and later I can add a dedicated amp to the Vantages (possibly even the Motif), so either a 2 or maybe 3 channel amp connected to the pre-out on the Denon... The...

that's an awesome price. do you know if that deal will be available at all tweeter stores? will there be a similar good deal on vantages? Rodrigo

Why would you say that the best 'center' is 'no center'? Do you have listening to music in mind when you say this? On my current setup, I do prefer to use 2CH Stereo for music, but when watching movies I do use all my 5.1 speakers... I've experimented with turning off the center (having a...
