Fresco, Vignette or Script for Surrounds?

5.1 system with Aerius i and Cinema center. What would you recommend for surrounds? No local dealer other than BB/Magnolia. Replies appreciated.

If you can afford it, and you have the room, Script's would be my choice.

attyonline,

Go with more electrostatic panels. The sound of the ML's Script i's electrostatic panels proved to be very seamless / homogenic in my system, as the mids / highs flow from center to front to surround electrostatic panels, the sonic imaging / transfer is simply breath taking really beautiful...
I love mine, Script i's, they are fabulous speakers. I even purchased / ordered my Script i's without having hear them at all, which was very risky, but proved to be a smart purchase in the long run...

Good Luck.

The scripts will be the best sounding of your three choices.

Thanks for the advice and responses. I have been inclined to look at the Fresco due to its small size and no need for AC. Has anyone compared the Script to the Fresco as a surround?

I couldn't fit another pair of 'stats into my room, so I went with Frescos on the wall. They blend perfectly with the Summits. My passion is 2 channel, but these provide a fine ht experience. BTW, we all have different perceptions of sound. Your best bet is an audition of components that you are considering and decide for yourself.

I also use Frescos as my 3 surrounds and they sound great.

Another vote for the frescos here,although I havn't heard the scripts. Don't worry about the blending with them.

I bet anyone of those would sound nice,it could just come down to money.

Well, the Script i and the Fresco cost the same. I have no local dealer for the Script, but could buy Frecoes/Vignettes at BB/Magnolia here in town. Leaning toward the ribbon alternative since my nearest "real" ML dealer is over a hundred miles away

I don't think you'll be sorry!

Although I have heard neither speaker, I would go with the Frescos. Scripts take up more space and look ugly. I know, I know, the sound is what's important but in the real world it is nice to have a decent looking HT room as well. Plus you absolutely have to leave room for furniture or at the very least a couch.
