    sound differences between asent-i vs vantage vs summits

    I know the obvious answer is the Summits are the best sounding, and also most expensive. I currently have 2.5 yr. old maple Asent-i's and I love them. They are powered with (2) Sunfire amps and a TG-4 processor. My possible change is both a search for a sound upgrade and looks as we are building...

    question probably old, but building new home and need placement answers....

    I have been away from the sight for awhile, glad to see some familiar names here again. Well, after 25 years in s. florida we are building a new home and while working with the main room which will be the music/HT room I am trying to figure out some placement issues. The room is pretty good...

    cleaning my ML's more than a cloth?

    we have recently done a great deal of remodeling, and as hard as I have tried I could not keep all the construction dust off my speakers. I have (2) asents (2) aerius-rears and a theater center. I looked at my manual and they say use a cloth. I thought I remember seeing a post on a shop-vac with...

    Scripti or Cinemai for surround channel?

    I believe you would use the Cinema, or Theater as a center rear surround (1) only as a 6.1 system. 2 mains, 2 side surounds, 1 CC, 1 sub, and ONE rear center. When you run a 7.1 set-up the (2) rears are in mono, not rear mixed. So it becomes a matter of preference. room size etc. IMO there is...

    Damaged ML Theater!

    Just a FYI on Insurance. I had an expensive sub damaged, it WAS insured. However, the insurance protects the shipper (seller) UPS came out, did an inspection, and paid the insurance which was close to 5K. They would not even talk to me, as the agreement was between them and the shipper. He got...

    Center speaker

    Hello Cherian, well I guess you decided on a Sunfire pre/pro after-all, I hope you are happy with it. I love my TG III. In the same sense that you bought that pre/pro. there are deals to be had for a CC. Maybe I have been lucky, but I have yet to have a bad "used" purchase. It just stands to...

    New to Martin Logan - in over my head?

    I would not suggest mixing the Klisphs with other speakers. Kliisph had always had a sound of it's own (horns) and you either love it or hate it. I don't know of some of their newer products. But they ave traditionally been a sound of their own, like ML and Maggies, not say they are bad, but...

    Speaker Cables

    Tom, You the man, the center channel is great. My better half and I thank you. I know I am in the minority here, but I can only justify so much on cables, I think there are some myths out there, but hey I buy used center channels also, so maybe I am just cheap. BTW anyone need nice (white)...

    Logos Dimensions

    You are right, the manual and the brochure state that size with no mention of the bracket. I would be inclined to say the dimensions are WITH the bracket. That's how they measure the Theater as the primary measurements. If you look and the size proportionatly it also looks like the stated size...

    Crown XLS-402A ????

    Absolutly correct, I used a K-1 amp to power 2 very large subs. It did that very, very well for absolute earth shakinh HT bass. Just experimenting I ran it 2 channel, no problem with power, but the sound was terrible, harsh, not refined at all, total loss of detail. This was a 2400.00 retail...

    Soon to be Ascent i owner... a question for Odyssey/Ascent/Aeon owners...

    Yes Anthony, I had the cinema, and now have the theater (not the i version however) Maybe it's just me, my room placement, whatever, but I was not very impressed with the cinema, I thight it was good, but expected more. I felt it could be vauge at times. I thought it did not blend that well with...

    Finally heard (and saw) Summits

    new, more money, "better" complex............. Because a product is being discontinued does not mean it's a bad product. Obsolete to whom??? Obsolete to the company that wants to sell their "new improved" stuff!! ML and other companiies have to come up with "new" products, and marketing. Thats...

    Finally heard (and saw) Summits

    Tascam, My only point was the ascent is a fine sounding speaker. You pretty much slammed it, and I for one, love their sound. You mention it has limitations, what product doesn't, I am sure the summit will have "limitations" of it's own. Is it a better sounding speaker?? I would think, or at...

Hey I am not a "high end" guy, my cables don't cost thousands. I am always willing to "listen" to input from those...

    Sunfire Theater Grand II

    Hey Cherian, I love my Sunfire pre/pro. The Sunfires just seem to be a great match with ML's, less so when I used them on my previous Maggie 1.6s. They sound supurb with Martins. It is a great sounding preamp, very nice quality build. I have never had any issues with any of my (3) Sunfire...

    Theater/center placement question(s)

    Thanks for the input all, I could remove the back panel that would give me about 12" to the rear wall. The 4 sides would still be there of course. I don't know if that would be better? It sounds damm good, I just don't know if it sounds as good as it could?
