I got such a great deal on my ML's that I am open to allot. I am looking at the 8b's but I have to admit that I have never heard them, see one in a case once, but that's it. I liked the Rogue Audio M120's and pretty much any of the Conrad Johnson tubes. I heard a mv-60 on a set of Aerius i's...

I just sold it today, I actually sold it for allot more than I paid for it. over $1k more actually, even after using it for over a year. now I am on the hunt for some tubes. anyone using the marantz 8b's?

So I bought a Dared MP-5 for my brother for xmas as a headphone amp. I just hooked them up to test for operation. WOW, i was pleasantly surprised how good it sounded. The midrange and highs were amazing. The lows were horrid though. But I did not run it through my DAC. I just run analog out...

thank you, I also think that the omnistats are my best bet, Going to see if my dealer has the new OMD-5. thank you for the info all//.

Done deal. Sold my Aerius i's today and picked up the Aeon i's from Magnolia. It was true luck that he found a pair. They said they were sold out 4 months ago. thanks for the input everyone.

What you guys think, should I get the used one and pocket the difference or get the brand new set with warranty for the $500 premium? Please help as I have to decide within 24 hours. then the deal runs out

So I heard the Vignettes at a magnolia store tonight on my way home both in surround mode and in a main mode. The sounded overly bright to me. they did show a nice low/midrange but they sounded a bit dare I say "cold" in both the surround and mains mode. They paired them up with the best amps...

i will try and listen to them tonight. i really did not want to pay more from my surrounds than I did for my front stage ;)

Yea I looked at them but they seemed rather steep $1450 a pair. taxes included. my search continues.. to make things worse I have a friend who wants to trade his Aeon i's for my Aerius i + $700. Well $700 from my side. I have never heard them so I do not know if they are worth the extra $700...

Thank you for the warm welcome Robin. I saw your system and have to say thought about it but there is no way i can get the MIS "minister of interior stuff" to agree to that. I also have a about 15 ft celling behind me. it's a pity though cause I can mount one of them in the perfect spot, but the...

I currently have a set of Martin Logan Aerius i's and Center i. I have a pretty large 700sq/ft living room. "well large for san francisco at least ;) " Problem i am having is that due to the layout I cant place floor standing or mid wall mounted rears. So it leads me to look at down firing...
