Anyone hear the helos yet? Are they "good enough" for rears in a summit based 5.1 setup? I've been thinking of adding to my summits with a descent i and stage. I was going to use my clarities for rears, but they're a pretty awkward fit in the room. How would the helos stand up? I know they won't...

Everyone have fun at the get together! I wish I could have made it.

I think the summits are starting to sound a lot better. I'm no audio reviewer, so let me just describe the sound as less constipated. ;)

The summits are here!!! Oh my! My wife just called. Tonight after work I head up to pick THEM up! The amp has not arrived yet, and we have not even ordered the cabling yet... Think I'll be able to run them on my yamaha rxv1600 until the krell comes? :P I intend to try!

Yesterday ML "officially" discontinued the grotto. The grotto i is supposed to be announced in a few weeks!

I tried to register over at audiokarma but they don't allow yahoo emails. :( sniff :( Other than my work email (which I am NOT using for any forum) I only have a pair of yahoo emails. :( I'm so disappointed.

So we have the L/R in/out rca jacks on the descent i (and other ml subs of course). Why no XLR? I could really use this if I were to add a descent i to my summit setup (later! running out of cash now hehe). Using these jacks the descent i needs to sit between the preamp and amp. Since the sub...

So much for the Lavry. We just ordered a transporter. It was just... calling...

ML suggests not biwiring. They say the extra posts on the summits (and vantages) are for convenience if you already have biwire cables. They suggest if you are buying from scratch to use the money for better quality cables rather than biwire cables. So, I'm leaning towards audioquest pike's...

White squeezeboxes are on major sale right now. $249. Plus you can use the coupon code LIVE365 for another $20 off, making them a full $70 off retail. Great deal if anyone has been thinking about picking one up, as long as you can live with the white. https://secure.slimdevices.com/order/index.cgi?

Its official. We sent the paperwork in for a pair of summits in wenge and black aluminum today. I still haven't ordered the pre, amp, or cables. That's next.

I was looking at http://www.krellonline.com this morning. It appears that the "Class A" section under "Models" was removed, which had all the FPB models. Does anyone know if they discontinued the FPB stuff? I think the evolution stuff was going to replace it. Did this happen?

Does anyone know anything about the Audioquest DBS stuff on some of their speaker cables? I've read the marketing literature. A friend of mine who actually sells AQ cables (and whose opinion I respect highly) thinks its hype and suggested I shouldn't bother.

Here are my "final" equipment choices. Opinions would be appreciated. We've gone round and round, but here's what we've settled on (wire brands the one unresearched part of this). Squeezebox--(toslink)-->Lavry DA10--(balanced)-->Krell KAV280p--(balanced)-->Krell...

Spent some time this afternoon in my wife's store listening. The setup was a pair of vantages, no sub, krell 400xi and a cambridge cd player (forgot to look at the model). Sounded great. Just great. I want my yamaha out of my house now. :P Listened to a strange mix: Skinny Puppy/ Amnesia...

Well, I just paid jtwrace for the summit spikes. My wife isn't overly interested in my idea to go with upgrading the HT before we get the summits, and I'm happy about that! I don't even like movies much! :P So here's the big poll: 1. Bird's eye and black 2. Wenge and black 3. Wenge and...

If you followed my other thread, you know I decided to put off the summits and get a HT setup instead. The only change from before is I'll probably use frescos for the rears instead of my clarities (due to room logistics). Here's the plan: 2xVantage Stage 2/4xFrescos (still wavering between 5...

I had an epiphany. I think all the discussion on my "upgrading to summits" thread really got me thinking. I'm listening to Miles Davis, Filles de Kilimanjaro (great CD btw, even for Miles), Miss Mabry. Electric Piano to the left. Horn to the front. Drums and bass right. Almost. Except my sub...

I'm interested in getting a fantastic, dedicated 2.1 listening setup this year. Does anyone have any suggestions for what Krell equipment to use with a pair of summits and a descent? Nothing is purchased yet, but I'm mostly stuck on Krell (potential for some big cost savings). My only intended...

After years of listening to music on garbage my first decent setup is coming tuesday! 2xML Claritys, 1xML Dynamo, Yamaha R-VX1600 Receiver The plan is to eventually turn it into a theater, but a friend talked me into dumping the whole budget into this now and upgrading later with extra...
