Hello everyone.
I am new to the whole audio scene and only started auditioning speakers a month back. Of all the speakers I've heard so far, I love the Martin Logan's the best.
Now, the problem is I live in Canada - and only Future Shop (Best Buy subsidiary) seems to carry them. The selection is poor and the prices are way too high compared to that in the US.
Please see: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/cla...=EN&catid=1047 (speaker type selection on side - front/center/sub etc.)
That being said, I listened to the Vista and the Source, and for my needs, I think the Source x 2 is perfect for my fronts. For the center I am thinking the Encore. I also have a Velodyne Optimum 10" sub which I will use as my sub.
Now I have a few questions:
1) Is this setup ok - Is the Source/Encore/10" Velodyne sub a good combo?
2) What can I use as my surrounds? The surrounds will be flanking my big couch so WILL have to be on a stand.
3) Is there a place in Canada which can give me a better price point than those of Future Shop? (1 US$ ~ 1.07 Cdn$)
4) If I make a trip down to the US to buy, does ML honor the warranty when I bring the equipment back to Canada?
5) Can I drive this setup with a 6/8 ohm capable receiver? Would a Pioneer Elite VSX 21 be enough?
Thanks!
