Damn, you americans really practise censorship!

Ideally, for 5ch listening (and movies) all speakers should be identical (w idendical ampification). So another pair of Odysseys or as close as possible would be good :) When I upgraded the ReQuests for the Summit's I wanted to keep the ReQuests for rears, but my wife sat her foot down. Choosing...

Personally I prefer to listen to all music in 2ch, but I do watch a lot of movies in 5ch. Damn it Timm; changing your Paradigm for a ML center will be night and day, period. I have the Theater i center (Summit front and Script rear). I have not tried the Stage, but a guy who bought one of my...

Depending on what you have feeding the Summits and your personal taste, you should try out some cables before deciding. It's fun too :) I prefer bi-wiring my Summits over jumpers. I use Alpha Core Pyhton for the bass, and Audio Innovations silver cables (excellent resolution) I've had for ages...

My EAD Powermaster 2000 (5x400W) is clipping at loud volumes with the Summits, so I guess it's not too happy with low impedance. Anyway I miss the magic of tubes (+ I feel the EAD is slightly lacking in detail), so next week I am auditioning an used Jadis Defy 7 (uses 6 x 6550 tubes per channel...

Dear Pat. It will be hard to find a person at this forum that will second your initial impression of the Summits. Owning a pair of ML's is like being in love, just wait, you will see. Once you go ML, you can never go back :) Tom has a point, the Summits really needs long break in. Had mine since...

thanks zero and twitch54, both recoms are noted with thanks (wish I had your pre twitch!). Actually Audio Research is a much (maybe the most) sought after brand over here in europe-land as far as tubes go.

I have decided to feed my Summits properly. They are now in a home theater setup with Theta Carmen and Casanova, and an EAD Powermaster 2000 (5x400w) poweramp, but I am not happy with the 2channel sound. I recently hooked up a really old "tube-like" Electrocompaniet "The 2 Channel Power Audio...

hope you can ship 4 pcs to Norway!

jtwrace, be patient, the Summits needs break in. I had mine on for a few weeks before leaving on a one week vacation. I left them on quite loud while beeing away, and I was surprised by the differnece on my return, especially the bass. Kepp them playing for a few more weeks, then get crititical.

Glad to hear you're happy with my old ReQuests (sorry for the long drive). For room tuning you should call Frode on 9808 7678 (he bought my Aerius i). he knows a lot about room tuning and will be happy to help you out (he can sell you some good stuff too).

Thanks Kevin, Adjusting the drawings with my wife tonight with 3x5x8 m dims. Do not worry, she will still get the spare room :) Tommy

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I have a lot of reading to do based on your useful links. I have changed the room dims acc to jfm's sdvice, it will be 300 cm celing height with 480 cm witdh and 700 cm lenght (and my wife will get the spare bedroom she's been praying for). I love this forum...

I am planning a dedicated home theater as an addition to my house. My only limit (within reason) is a maximum ceiling height of 300 cm (118 inches). My setup is Summit, Theater, and two Descents in front, Scripts in back (will be upgraded with Vantage once the dedicated room is built). They are...
