Thanks Dan! No worries George - glad I could help! ... and yes, I am not giving up on the MC275 dream. I did realize my dream of owning some ML's haha (and that was a long time dream)

So .. currently I am using an AVR (Yamaha Aventage A1000) which is feature packed, but of course I wouldn't call it 'audiophile' and most likely not the best choice to power any ML model. But so it is..... I have the Vista's and I used to power it with a tube amp that I build from a kit. The...

Bass driver Justin - Those sound like reasonable explanations. The only question I have is in terms of "more efficient bass driver." It would seem unlikely that there is 10 pounds of internal MDF porting to remove (I'm guessing of course). Does that mean that the magnet structure is reduced...

a/d/s Still have and love my 22 year old a/d/s M-12 tower speakers. a/d/s (analog & digital sytems) sadly no longer exists as a consumer speaker manufacturer. They used to make some awesome car stereo pieces as well. I think they were fairly well respected at the time. I was 17 when I...

Welcome Very nice ... very clean looking setup ... Bjarni

Thx Thanks for the replies! Yes, I have looked at the Stage as well (used) & the Cinema i (older model ?!?!) I wonder how much difference there is between the Stage & Motif ... Minimal difference in price between a used Stage and a new Motif.... I am a little more apprehensive about buying...

I am thinking of adding a ML center channel. Right now, for surround playback I am using super cheapie Orb (Gallo ripoffs) for the Center & Rears. They work especially for the rears since the rear channel material is not so critical in my opinion. However, the center does most of the work in...

Ditto I purchased one of these also a couple of weeks back ... couldn't be happier! Good stuff!

Thanks! Thanks for the feedback guys! I agree it probably makes sense to evaluate the equipment within the context of my own system - especially since they were using their own speakers - I do think they have a 30 day return policy if not satisfied so it might just mean I have to try them out...

bump I was hoping someone might chime in with an opinion ...

Lexicon BD30 Hmmmm.... sounds awfully familiar! Lexicon BD-30 Providing unparalleled video quality, the BD-30 incorporates Anchor Bay’s award-winning Video Reference Series (VRS) technology, and delivers a picture that is cleaner, smoother, true-to-life and free of artifacts. With exceptional...

Anybody check out the specs for the new Emotiva UMC-1? It's been in "on its way"...eehhhm for a while now - I think the last time I checked on it was January of this year. Well finally I checked their site yesterday and it looks like they may actually sell some of these before Christmas...

Thanks! Ooooh good point about the SE version... A regular BDP-83 + DACMagic = $928 seems like a no brainer to go with the SE I suppose! Although another reason I was going to go for an external DAC was to also be able to plug in my 'puter as well to play FLAC files.... hmmmm BTW ...

Silly Question! I am fairly new at using HDMI connected components and by my own admission don't have a clue really:ROFL: I want to get the BDP-83 - question about DSD via HDMI vs using the analog outs vs optical to external DAC.... 1 - I am assuming that if I send DSD over HDMI to my...

Tubes... I built a tube amp kit earlier this year and it was a blast!!! As others have mentioned --- some very high voltages inside these suckers so be prudent!!:eek: I would suggest posting on the Tube section of the AudioKarma.org forum...
