Update for the final installed system. Everything is as described above, except that side speakers wouldn't fit in the room so I used ML ElectroMotion IC (In-Ceiling) speakers for the sides instead of Motion 15's. There's no question I'll miss the quality of my Summit/Theater/Depth and Sony G90...

Well, after many, many hours of evaluating what I want, what I need, what's available, what I can afford vs what I'll spend (not at all the same:D), etc., etc., I decided on a 7.2.2 system with the following: Anthem MRX-720 Receiver Sunfire TGA-7400 Amp ML Motion 35XT for the fronts ML Motion...

I've been looking at the Dynamo 800X/1100X subs and I really like their built-in ARC support. It looks like I may also get the Anthem MRX-720 receiver, which also has ARC built into it. How would these mesh together if I get them both? Would the Dynamo ARC be simply redundant (or even used) in...

:D :stop: NO! Say it isn't so! :stop: :D Actually Tom, I hadn't realized that you'd gone through something similar while I was away. I now see that you're "MartinLoganLess" in your signature, and reading over your System #1 thread I see the reasons and results. And yes, although I'm still...

Yeah, I tried really hard to find a configuration that could work, but finally had to give up. You think they'd make that much of a difference? The SLMs seem to visually be so much 'cleaner' and I'm not a big fan of the glossy black of the X35s. Also, I've found that over the last few years I've...

Hey, all. It's been quite a few years since I've been active on this forum. I still fondly remember the discussions and advice, though, and give those a lot of credit in evolving what I still consider a 'killer' home theater system. (Click on the signature link to see its original...

I marked enthusiast, but I probably lean more toward the Audiophile/Videophile position. (Check my system to see what I mean.)

If you look at my system, you'll see that home theater is a big part of its identity. I've had my ML Theater center since 2002 when I picked it up with some Ascents, and kept it when I upgraded to Summits back in 2007. When I listen to music I only have the Summits enabled, but I'm quite happy...

You might be interested that I had exactly the same setup as you, including the switch. I had Ascents with a Descent sub for 4+ years, and then in early 2007 I upgraded to Summits. My system also serves as a home theater (check my system link for details) and the Descent sub does an excellent...

I see most of the prior comments have been applied, except that the "....while all the while" should probably be "... all while" (note 3 dots and a space instead 4 dots for the ellipses).

Could you tell us why? TIA

A good high-end, solid state pre-pro like the Sunfire TGP series should probably last at least 10 years, and probably much more.

Queen. At the very least, "We are the champions" will still be played by the winners of big games for many years to come.

BLUE MEANIES!! (You'll understand after the movie. :D )

I was actually referring to their music as opposed to the Beatles themselves. I strongly identify their music to my high school and college years. (I'd bundle the Stones and others in there, too.) Although, if you recall, we had (or at least perceived) this huge 'rebellion' going on, and a lot...
