fyi, I went with dual (or as I was afraid of, duelling?) subs. Grottos were on closeout for $800 at the local dealer, since the new line of Grottos are due soon. These really worked together - the bass remained tight, full, rich (use your favorite adjectives here :-) Seriously, I'm quite happy...

I have Aeon i fronts. Supplemented by a Grotto currently. For stereo listening, my preamp routes mid to low to the Grotto as well, since I find the Aeon's are lacking in the mid to lower ranges a bit. I'd seriously like to do something about mid-low freq.. A bit of a dilemma: do I trade-in the...

Is there any point in bi-wiring Aeon i's? Is there a noticeable difference? I have them in a home theater setup, but still primary stereo listening as well.

Can Mosaic owners post recommendations for integrated 5.1 amplifiers? Recommendations are welcome from all the other wise ML owners too..These are going to be used as mains. The plan is to add surrounds & center in due time. A little budget constrained, so reference quality amplifiers are...

so what did we achieve? Looks like all that was accomplished with the email exchange was you shut down a way to get better service and lower prices :) Costco has a fantastic return policy - you can either return and get money back, or exchange for new products: this is far better than 'repair'...

Does anybody know the real differences between the new Vistas which are replacing the Aeon's? I bought a pair of Aeon's last year.. I'm happy with their performance, but I would love to know if it's really worth moving to Vistas. I might be able to talk to Magnolia folks to swap me a pair.

Robin - I will certainly take some pictures soon and post. B&K AVR507 S2 amp. Belden 5000 series 10-gauge cable. Denon dvd-2910 universal player

Robin, for $7000 - I would recommend a good DLP projector under $5000 and a fixed-mount screen. I have an InFocus screenplay 7205 (roughly 4K) + Stewart Firehawk (roughly 2.5K). With my Aeon i, Cinema i, vignettes this is just great for DVD & HD theater.

thanks everybody for the responses gstring - that was quite helpful. I will try with 60Hz XO & play with the notch filter for room eq. I assume I shouldn't cut it off low on the sub as well.

I have a pair of aeons with a grotto sub. B&K AVR507 amp. Should probably upgrade to the Depth or Descent for the sub, but I am having trouble getting tight bass response. I set the crossover LFE at 35Hz, and inverted phase from the amp. This gives me the best so far, but I can think I can do...

New to this forum. I'm planning on the following setup : Aeon i for front Cinema i center Vignette surround Grotto sub B&K AVR 507 Denon 2910 DVD player The idea being I may go for Frescoes as surrounds in future and move vignettes to rear. Room is 20' x 14' .. Any opinions .. Am I...
