Do audio stores rent these? Seems like it would be for one time use unless you did speaker systems for a living (or moved alot).

Hey thanks for the tip Roberto! I think I found a Motif X new in the box for $1400. Think it is worth the extra $200 over the regular Motif?

If only I had another $1500... :p

Very good food for thought guys. Yes, my intention was to active bi-amp them, but as I suspected it is more complex than it seems. If it was an easy fix I was definitely game to try.

Thanks for the reply. I am familar with the line-up of ML center channels. What I am wondering specificly though is will the motif match tonally better with electromotion ESLs verses the matinee I currently have here in the box. I have heard the matinee and motif sound almost exactly alike.

I have posted several question threads here lately, all with absolutely great and informative responses. Very nice community here. I will make this one short... I currently have two Electromotion ESLs as my fronts, motion 4s for my sides, and a matinee center. The user guide for the...

Thanks Spike. Not sure if I will give it a go or not. Doesn't really look that complicated. My main concern is not realizing something about how it is wired and frying the speaker and or receiver. If it is as straight forward as your diagram this is simple.

Truth be told... it is mostly a matter of me hating to see two viable channels on my reciever go to waste. And my living room does not lend itself to a 7.1 setup. Maybe I should have gone with a 5.1 channel receiver then. But the SC-72 is the least expensive Pioneer that has the class D3...

Not to stir the pot further on the posts debate, but in my mind putting a second set of posts on this "entry level" model does make sense. Plug and play people are more likely to run it off a receiver without using a separate amp. In fact, ML says part of the advantage of the electromotion is...

Thanks Spike. That being said... anyway to rewire the insides and add two posts? Just seems like a waste of amps to have two channels sitting there doing nothing.

Sorry if this was discussed in a previous thread, but I couldn't find anything so I will post it here. My set-up is 5.1 off a Pioneer SC-72. Matinee, 2 electromotions, 2 motion 4's. A Best Buy "expert" told me I might want to use the 2 rear surround channels (the SC-72 is 7.1) as a bi-amp for...

The Wall was my introduction to Pink Floyd many moons ago. Rogers recent tour may be the best live performance I have ever seen (and I go to alot of concerts). "Epic" does not even begin to describe it. No record player here however for me to check this vinyl recording out. Might have to...

Thanks so much for your input everyone. :D

I guess I should add that part of my dilemma is that 1.) I don't know much about amps, 2.) it seems very hard to do apples to apples comparisons of amps online. Many of them say "4 ohm stable", but does that mean <2 ohm stable? I saw a 40W per channel tube amp for $700... does 40W of tube...

Thanks InterMechanico. I was considering the Pioneer Elite SC-72. The D3 amps are suppose to be pretty stable. I had the guy at Best Buy run the Electromotions, a C2 center, and two side speakers off a SC-75 and turn up the volume. They sounded fine until it got to uncomfortable volume and...

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. Good info. I was considering the motion line but they are almost as much as the Electromotions. Now of course as you mentioned I won't need separate amps which will save some cash. Truth be told, it was the detail and crystal clear sound of the...

Hello all. Just registered because after hearing all sorts of opinions from all sorts of people I figured it best to get it from the horses mouth so to speak... ML owners. I have a large bright room that I currently refer to as "the echo chamber". It is a great room with hardwood floors and a...
