I have Vistas and Dynamos at home. My cherished Monsoon flat computer speakers seem to be malfunctioning so I'm going to be purchasing a work system in the next few weeks. I started Googling "computer speakers" and found the A5+, then kept escalating in price as all good people do: -...

Can I use my 5.1 Sony as my pre-amp/amp for my center, surrounds, and subwoofer, and somehow use a 2nd amp (Yamaha) to drive my Vistas? I'd like plug my input sources (Blu-ray, DVD, etc.) to my Sony STR-DE475 since it's a 5.1 and it can decode DTS, etc. It's a cheap home entertainment amp but...

My Technics turntable died about six years ago and now that I'm building a modest ML system I'd like to spin my 200 LPs again. Can anyone recommend a budget turntable? I read some reviews of Sony turntables on Amazon.com and just don't know which one to buy. I'm hoping someone can recommend...

Background: We've just moved into a new larger house and I'm dividing my previous single system into two new systems with different purposes: 1. Two channel music enjoyment system in the family room. [two Vistas] 2. 5.1 channel system entertainment system in the upstairs "bonus" room. [two...

I've hooked my new ML Dynamo subwoofer via the LFE (RCA) to the LFE output (RCA) of my Sony STR-DE475 5.1 receiver. When I turn off my Sony amp the Dynamo makes a moderately loud humming noise (as if a person were to hum loudly) so I immediately have to flip the power switch off because it...

Because money is tight, for a while I'm going to try to use my Yamaha AX-570 amp for my Vistas and my Sony STR-DE475 amp for the surrounds, center, and sub. This way I can enjoy both music and movies until I spend the $2K on a real 5.1 processor. Question is, how do I separate the signal...

I'll be in Chicago for an e-commerce show from Sunday to Wednesday and was wondering if anyone could recommend a place I could hear some high-end gear near Mccormick Place. I Googled this and did the Yellow Pages thing but can't make any heads or tails out of the results. Thanks in advance,

I'm looking for the widest possible sweet spot for my center so that as many people as possible on our couch can enjoy the ML sound. I'm guessing that the convex (outside of banana) would be better because sound emanates outward in more directions where the concave focuses on a narrow listening...

My vignettes just arrived today and I'm so excited! Boy, those suckers are HEAVY! I expected them to weigh perhaps 1/2 to 1/3 as much. Installing them will take some time. I was at a Tweeter on Saturday and even the ML guy confessed that he used cheaper non-ML speakers for his personal...

1) What is the difference between the Script and Script i speakers? I Googled this and because of the 'i' I can't find any relevant SERPs. 2) What does 'i' generally mean in the ML line of speakers? 3) Do you recommend the Script speakers? I'm considering for surround speakers for a HT...

Has anyone ever purchased from here before? It seems that they sell ML below MSRP. I thought ML only sold through specialty stores or Amazon.com and didn't discount (kinda like Apple Macs). For comparison it appears they sell a pair of cherry Vistas for $3,235 (MSRP $4K) and the Dynamo...

Another newby question... On page 7 of the Vista manual it says that I need to break-in my speakers for 72 hours @ 90Db. Do I have to purposefully do that or just through casual listening will this happen slowly over time? I'm in no particular rush... (but I think they are sounding better...

This may be a stupid question but it's on my mind: For a home theater setup, ML sells the vignette, which appears to be the lowest-end center speaker. It's about 600 bucks. This might be a relative/opinion question, but from a ROI (return-on-investment) point of view is it worth it to buy a...

Q1: If you had a $1K budget what amp gives the most "bang for the buck" to drive Vistas? (I think that's all my wife would allow me to spend at present!) I like to listen to classical, new age, and jazz. I care more about sonic ability that looks. Can anyone drop out some suggestions...

The only amp I have is a Yamaha 100 watt AX-570 for my new Martin Logan Vistas. Will this damage my Vistas? They seem to sound fine and it's really loud at volume dial "4"... I've never turned it up any louder. I'm hoping in a few years I can save up some more pennies and buy a "real" amp...

Hi, I'm Peter, a newby from Charlotte, NC, who for the first time is venturing into deeper waters of high fidelity. Perhaps I didn't do enough research, but I just purchased a pair of Vistas this weekend and noticed that my classical CDs are uninspiring and flat/blah. (Everything else sounds...
