Mine will be here tomorrow to audition against my Theater-i. You guys have any recommendations for blurays with good center tracks to demo?

The speaker cables I'm using are Monster M2.2s in 8 foot length. When I bought them, I think it was the second nicest cable they made, only behind the biwires. I sent the electronics portion of both Ascents in for service a few weeks ago after I plugged a cable back in when the amp was on and...

I finally have my media room set up in my new house with the Logans. It is a pretty good size room at 12'Wx26'Lx10' ceilings. I am driving the Ascent i's with a pair of Emotiva XPA-1 500 watt monoblocks and an XPA-5 200 watt amp driving the theater I and frescos. The processor is an Emotiva...

Was that for a new pair priced on clearance? If so I might have to find a dealer with some in stock.

I am just thrilled that I don't have to watch Tom Brady winning another superbowl. I'm guessing the Pack takes it from here.

"The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object." - Thomas Jefferson What positive impact would they have? They send back more money to Mexico than they pay in taxes. Their cost to the education system...

I think he was saying that the public sector is growing faster than the private sector which is never good. In the last year, Texas has created more jobs than the other 49 states combined. Texas' business model consists of, little government regulations, low taxes, no unions running the place...

I have the XPA-5 which has all the same specs as the XPA-3 but with 2 extra channels. It drives my Ascent i's well. I had a Sunfire Cinema 7 previously and auditioned the Emotiva to compare. The differences between the 2 were minimal, so I sold the Sunfire for a little profit. I'd like to...

I still enjoy my 2007 350Z. Its fun to drive and still comfortable enough for day to day use. Most importantly it will be paid off soon.

In Mitch McConnell's case, I would vote for someone else in the primary. The estimated cost to the American taxpayer is 100 billion per year for illegal immigration. I would much rather spend the money building a fence and paying to guard it than encouraging breaking the law. I'm sure they...

If you have a little more money, the Emotiva UPA-1 monoblocks are supposed to be a much better amp than the 2-ch UPA-2, and they have XLR connections. Now would be the time to try them since they are on sale with free shipping. I have the Emotiva XPA-5 and it matched up with a Sunfire amp just fine.

Updated my equipment list. New pics to come soon. Hopefully some new gear too.

Has anyone had a chance to audition the Ethos yet? I haven't seen any on the members systems forum. If so, any comparisons against the Spire or Vantage?

Has anyone tried to repair scratches on the cabinets of Ascents or something from that product era? If so, what did you use? I have a few on the sides from when I moved that would be nice to have fixed if I decide to sell them sometime for maybe some Spires or Ethos. Thanks for the help.

Just a heads up, ML posted the information on their mystery speaker that was shown at one of the audio shows a couple months ago on their site. It looks pretty nice and I definitely like the flamed teak finish. I had been eyeing some Spires, but these will be a little easier to squeeze into the...

I want to see Muse again when they come to town in March. I really want to be able to get some floor seats. Several years ago I was in the third row when they played a small show. Everyone leaving the concert had a look on their face of "HOLY CRAP". If any of you guys haven't seen them and get a...

Sounds like we are in almost the exact same situation. I just bought the BD-P83 and now I have a Denon 2910 and Sony DVPS9000ES to sell. I am enjoying mine as well.

Are any of you guys running multichannel analog outs straight to a preamp/receiver? I'm interested to know if the sound quality from the non-"SE" player is comprable to or better than my current setup. I'm currently running a Panasonic BD50 bluray and a Denon 2910 for CD and SACD. The Oppo would...

Well for one, I think I'm missing out on some of the low end out of my blu rays by using the analog ins. All the players I've seen that do have analog outs seem to lose 5 to 10 db on the sub out where it sould be fine with HDMI. Several of my movies sound great, but I had them on DVD and the LFE...
