Hi Rich, I first purchased the Pioneer Elite Receiver (140w x7) and connected them regularly. Then I said to myself, "they don't sound as good as the showroom I listened to them in". So though these forums I discovered Emotiva. So I purchased 3 amps and did the pre-out to my new XPA-1 (2)...

I bought them brand new in sealed factory-fresh box at regular price :(

Martin Logan is at fault? WTF?? Umm, OMG I think this fixed the problem. I know how my speakers sounded when I heard the problems. I cannot hear an audible difference between the speakers anymore after the installation. Once I went through the 12-page installation manual, on the first Summit...

Still sounds horrible! ML sent parts... Thanks for all who replied, I'm very grateful. Well I called Martin Logan last week they told me to leave them unplugged for a full 24hrs and carefully vacuum them. So I did and tried out the system again and played various types of music. The speakers...

Hi guys, I wanted to ask you guys if you ever heard of the each of the Summits sounding noticeably different. I thought it was my settings on my Emotiva UMC-1 pre-amp, so I did a factory reset. Then I thought it was my component (Samsung Blu-ray) so I tried using my PlayStation3 and XM player...

Thanks Everyone! WOW! Thank you guys sooooo much for the great input! Steven

Im sooooo confused im new to all this so sorry if this is a dumb question but i have 2 XPA-1 monoblocks (Emotiva) and a preamp UMC-1 coming (also Emotiva). ML said to connect them R&L out for 2 channel stereo (Y the R&L outs from to monos to interconnect and the other to sub) and for movies LFE...

Thanks for the tip! What are the best settings for output is best from the ps3? I have a 7.1 setup. Thanks

I have 2 Summits, Stage, 4 Passages and Decent i along with Emotiva's XPA-5 and 2 XPA-1 (Monoblocks) using a UMC-1 preamp. I went to Magnolia HT and they told me the Audioquest Volcano is the best with ML Summits and Stage but when they told me the price I almost fell backwards. I want the best...

Well I have an Audiophile friend that has most of the speakers I'll be using (Summits, Stage, Decent i, ect) and showed me the different sounds that come out of each of his different amps. He uses some huge amp switches for demonstrating the various quality sound differences for his speakers. He...

What do I need for these that apply: 2 ML Summits 1 ML Stage 4 Passages 1 Decent i Preamp (Denon Maybe) Emotiva XPA-2 Amp Emotiva XPA-5 Amp Playstation 3 Thanks again my friends!

I'm getting some new Emotiva amps with the dim. of: 17"w x 9"h x 19"d. Where can I get something with 20" depth for 3 or 4 components stacked vertically or horizontally holding 75 or more pounds? Do I need to find something custom or what?? Looked everywhere on the net for hours!! No luck.

OF COURSE, NO PROBLEM. Do you think the new Denon PreAmp is going to be good with those 3 amps (mono+mono+5channel)??

Do you think this is a good choice? Thanks for all you guy's help! On one of my previous posts someone recommended Emotiva. So I looked at their new upcoming amps the XPA-2 and XPA-5 (2 & 5 channel amps). WOW, the 2 channel does 500 watts @ 4 ohms and 5 channel does 375 watts @ 4 Ohms. I called...

I'm not sure if I made a huge mistake but I just changed order of Vantages to Summits (Chome AirFrame). Like I wrote in other threads I also got a Stage center, 4 Passages (rear & sides) and a Descent i sub. Man-o-man am I went crazy: I went from originally wanting the little Puritys to Vistas...

Room Treatments? What do you guys mean by room treatments? I'm thinking of changing my Vantages to Summits. They sounded very good! I heard them with the MX120 and MC207. People are telling me that the Panasonic Blu-ray Player does the DTS HD MA internally, and that I don't need my mac preamp...

Is this the best possible combination for music & movies? Would the new Denon AVP-A1HDCI for the preamp and the McIntosh MC207 for the 7-Channel Power Amplifier be the best possible combination for music and movies? Magnolia said it was. But you guys are the real hands on professionals. Could...

Are there any PreAmps besides Denon's AVP-A1HDCI that does DTS HD Master Lossless Audio? I heard the 14k ($7x2) Denon's Pre/Amp Combo output to Martin Logans 7.1 setup on the the movie "Speed" in Blu-ray. It sounded amazing. I noticed when he put the same Blu-ray movie on another system (same...
