I’m designing a dedicated home theater for a house we’re getting ready to build. The media room will be 21-1/2’ x 24’. You can look at my sig to see the electronics I’ll be using. However, I plan to augment my speaker mix by adding a pair of CLXs and relegating my Ascents to rear surrounds duty...

I’m in the process of building a new home, which will include a dedicated home theater (24x21.5x10). I’ve been reading all the glowing reports about the CLX’s and was curious from those that have heard them how they think they’d do in a home theater environment? I would retain everything I...

As I delve deeper into the depths of vinyl playback and, which TT should replace my Basis 1400. I question how mono vs. stereo playback is affected using a single cartridge/needle. Most folks, I’ve noticed only have one tone arm so I’m assuming they’re using one cartridge as well. Is that much...

Recently, I got the idea to start a music appreciation night at our house. I thought it would be kind of cool to expand everyone musical knowledge as well as appreciation. The first session is planned for early November and, I was curious if anyone else has done something similar. For my first...

I realize that Mc gear users are in the minority, but for those that do use it McIntosh is offering an amp upgrade program through August. Up until the end of August you can trade in any McIntosh amp for 75% of it's original retail towards the purcase of a new amp. Sorry it must be a McIntosh...

Currently I have a McIntosh 119/207 driving Ascent I’s, Fresco rears, and theater center. I am very happy with this arrangement for HT; however, like everyone else I’m looking to improve the sound. (Should’ve never listened to those summits!) I’d like to replace my Ascent’s with summits then add...

Now that everything is installed I thought I’d share my thoughts. But before I do I suppose I should describe my system. It is comprised of ML Ascent I, Theater I, Fresco, Descent; McIntosh MX119 & MC207; Denon 3910; Pioneer DVL-919 (not yet arrived); Comcast HD/DVR Receiver; Audioquest Circular...

Now that all of my equipment is here and I’ve had an opportunity to listen to it, albeit in 2 channel only, I thought I’d share the experience. What I’m listening to is ML Ascent I’s being driven by McIntosh MC207 amp, MX119 pre/pro, and a Denon 3910. My first surprise was when I went to unpack...

Next week I’m going to be pulling the trigger on getting my “new/used” HT system. I am both anxious and nervous at the same time. However, before I actually pull the trigger I’d like know if anyone has or has at least listened to Ascent i’s being driven a McIntosh MC207 amp and the MX119 preamp...

I'm designing my room layout and I'm curious how critical speaker placement is regarding side walls? If I go with Samsungs 67" HDTV then on one side the best I can distance the Ascent (which I don't have yet) from the side wall is 13". If I go with the 62" then that increases to 16" and lastly...

Hello, I’m new here and I’m looking to completely replace my current system. After listening to many speakers I’ve settled on ML’s; however, I don’t trust most of the young kids working at the stereo shops so I’m looking to you folks for guidance. I want a complete surround sound system and I...
