Roleplay, this quote is exactly what I'm talking about. Plus, you mentioned you watch movies 50% of the time so I'm guessing my suggestion would work better for you

I had the NAD Master series Trio ($14,000), Spires, more amps etc. Friends cheap Onkyo with XT32/Klipch blew it away The biggest difference I made is when I purchased a cheap 50 watt Denon with Atmos/XT32. That combo destroyed my separates and made watching movies more immersive. In fact, I...

Way to ugly up your home and create more of a wire mess with these boxes placed everywhere. Would've been nice to see these integrated into their existing motion line for a cleaner look that better fits their aesthetic style

If you stand up with your EFX, you will lose detail because the panel isn't that long but if you're standing up you probably don't care anyways as you are busy doing something else. Just be mindfull how high the second row is. I would go with x8 Vanquish (4 hight + 2 front and rear) for a Dolby...

I can sell you my pair of EFX when I get back to Cali on the 10th of November. I do not have the original boxes but our UPS store packs it themselves and insures. I paired these with a Motif X and the tonal match was fine (I guess) in fact, the folded motion tweeter is supposedly tonally...

Have you plugged your current amp into a wall outlet with a watt meter or power conditioner that displays the watts at your desired listening level? My average listening levels are under 10 watts per speaker and couldn't max them out with my $300 50wpc slim Marantz. I since sold my high end NAD...

Of course a blind test would reveal all these type of comments to be false as they have in the past

This is such an old thread that I've learned a lot since I wrote this. I'm now powering my Martin Logans with integrated AVRs with no problems. The expensive and powerful amp requirement is a common bandwagon fallacy or consensus fallacy. Martin Logan even states you can drive these with 8 Ohm...

Blown power supply. Easy fix. Cost $100 bucks. Thanks Peter, Rob

I used to think I needed separates too. Watch Dr Vojtko on youtube about amps. An 8 Ohm amp will handle a martin logan as long as you're not playing above the amps capability. He says we test all sorts of amps on our speakers and they all just work with no issues...

Thanks for the input. I emailed Dana

MLO, I'd like some advice on what is wrong with my speaker and if I can buy the part and repair myself. Basically, I moved an amp with the front L and R channels disconnected, some how, they touched I think but not sure exactly what happened. It just made a bad grinding sound out of the...

My setup is EFX front and rear and going 11.1 shortly. I have no other measuring devices except XT32. I'm not interested in using REW, Omnimic, Antimode etc. I'm just curious if the low pass filter settings file can be done via the standard dials on a sub? Otherwise I'll go with the BalanceForce...

I have ML EFX. How hard would it be to adjust the low frequencies to that of what the filters would do? Could you just use a program to read the filters and configure those settings onto a non ML sub?

Peter, Have you compared XT32(sub eq ht) vs the PBK? I read one or two statements that the difference should be negligible. Also, how hard would it be to manually tune the sub to that of what the filters would do? Does it just set crossover as I would manually on the dials?

In regard to your speaker setup. I think DTS took a new speaker layout plus you might see Auro3D which also uses the same layout. They use hight front as well as high rear channels and ditched the typical wides at the 45 degree angle. Just fyi since I'm also trying to future proof the speaker...

Sorry can't help but did want to suggest using DTS NEO:X for real 11 channel output since you are already spending all this money, an extra $1500 for an Onkyo or slightly more for a receiver that does this wouldn't be too hard sounds like. The DSX isn't as favored from the couple hours I spent...

What are you talking about? If I can't hear a difference sighted under my own A/B, how can I hear a difference blind? Sounds aren't magically going to pop out of nowhere under controlled conditions. I think you're lost on the purpose of a controlled test. Did anyone say all pre-amps sound the...

I am selling my hi-fi gear based on my own testing. Never purchased based on controlled tests but if I had, I would have saved myself thousands. The industry standard for determining audibility is a time synched, level matched, double blind test which are some of the guidelines outlined in BS...
