Hello,
I had posted some questions here about choosing for Vantage or Summit...
After reading the pros and cons it was still difficult to decide.
The final decision went to... Summits... It actually took me several month to decide but when I read about January price increases on this forum It was like a push in the back and it helped to jump in the water from this high bridge. I sent my order payment a few hours before Christmas eve.
I know I may not be able to make a huge difference between this two outstanding speakers, but the main reason is I was worried about getting out the train at the last stop before heaven. So I thought : go for Summits. I received advices of Vantage + Sub, but then the price gap is become smaller and I could experience problems of sub integration, + Summits have wider pannels, and many of you told me the summits have beter imaging and this is also important to me. I like total immersion. Last thing is I think I will keep the speakers for at least 10 years and I will probably forget the pain of the price after 1... Actually I already forgot it right now and the pain is now that I have to wait a few months before getting... MY SUMMITS.
I hope a made a good decision and I Thank you all for your help.
Well... mmmhhh... now I kindly request your help again... I still have a few days to confirm the wood finish. At this time I choose for Black frame and Dark Cherry Cabinet because I like this warm color and... I like this picture of the guy enjoying his red wine while listening to his dark cherry summits on the ML website (it is dark cherry, isn't it ?)... that's me after a hectic day at work. But actually, I am still not sure about that choice.
I am also thinking about Natural Cherry, Black Ash or Wenge.
The problem is ML pictures on the website are so small. I looked for some pics on this forum and found some pics of other finishes. I saw no pics at all of Natural Cherry or Black Ash, and only a few of Dark Cherry or Wenge... but too dark or too close or too far.
So my question : Would some of you having those colors please post some good quality pics. I know this kind of question pops out quite often, but there still aren't so many good pics. This would help me, but, I think, would also help a lot of other guys. Furthermore, what do you think of Dark Cherry (besides honorable Dr Joey who, I already found out browsing the forum, does not like it that much )
Thank you very much
David
