7. Comments and/or stories about your Martin Logan experience:
I first heard Martin Logan speakers as a rookie salesman at a national semi-custom CE chain. I was blown away by a pair of Vantages and instantly fell in love with sound quality that I previously never knew existed. This experience opened my eyes to a whole new world of Hi-Fi that has become my passion and will probaly always be until I die. I tried my darndest to spread this joy with every customer that walked into my store. Unfortunately, in December '08 I lost my job due to this company going out of business and I lost the income to support this habit for now. I'm staying positive and I hope to find another job soon in the industry so I can continue to open other people's eyes as mine were 4 years ago. (and so I can afford to upgrade!)
I am a long time lurker and I have finally decided to post my 6.1 system. It has been a 4 year process to get where I am today and I am looking forward to upgrading for many years to come. I have done all of the installation, programming, and setup myself but I continue to tweak it on an almost daily business. My use is primarily home theater, but I do quite a bit of 2-channel music listening when my wife is away. Please feel free to comment and pass on any advice you might have. Also, please excuse the quality of the photos--I am not a pro photographer.
