These are reasons I wouldn't get the Motif and would go with the Fresco. If you have the Montages, why not match it with a speaker which is of the same type? The Montages use the ATF and have aluminum cones. The Fresco has two ATF speakers and is a really nice speaker. I have it as the center...
I am of the mind that match your HT speakers as much as possible. I have the Fresco as a center but it is matched with Montages so you create a nice front field.
cvj, I am confused. You mention a jump in cost. I thought the Vistas are about the same price -- about $2,500 --(after discount) as the Aeon-i s. If the Vistas are better, why is the Aeon-i the better deal? And aren't the Vistas easier to drive and have better dispersal? What am I missing?

Well, I actually saw and heard the Vistas today.
My dealer has the first ones off the line, serial #1.
I saw them side by side with the Vantage. They look identical other than the base. The rails are the same.
To me they sounded a bit thin. I was able to switch back and forth with the...
Aren't the Ascents better than the Aeons? Where are the Ascents for 1900? I've seen the Aeons for about that much but haven't even seen any Ascents for sale anywhere.
And Joey_V, you have done this right in front of us, like on a reality tv show. :) (You should change your system description to get rid of Vantages and proudly put in Summits).
I don't necessarily agree that all roads lead to expensive equipment. I am doing quite fine with Montages and...
