Thank you. That is really what I wanted to know, are MLs unique regarding the rear wall or are all speakers affected by this.

I have room that is 18 x 15 and I currently have Klipsch RF-7s about 6 feet apart across the long wall and a couch that is 12-13 feet back (about a foot away from the rear wall). I have been wanting to upgrade to Vantages or Spires for quite some time. I posted a question before on the forum...

Thank you. You can actually get the Vantage for much less if buying used. I was just curious how similar the panel would be as I agree the bass should be better on the vantage

How would you describe the vantage vs the theos?

Heard theos and really like how would they compare to Vantage?

Both were much better than the Vantage which I have now. In what way? I have heard that the Ethos has tighter bass than the vantage. Was that the primary difference?

Maybe I was not clear, my speakers would be about 68-75 inches apart (the space needed for my media cabinet) and a couple feet from the front wall, i have space for more if needed. My couch sits about 15 feet back, but i could easily move it up further or back a foot. I just meant that they...

I understand that the set up may not be ideal. Basically with a sub in a room that size what real world diffence would i notice between the Spire and the Vantage? Would you classify this room as large or medium?

I have read several times that the Spire is better than the vantage because of the size of the panel and the bass performance. However it is usually stated that in a smaller room the difference is minimal. My question is what is a medium vs large room? My room is 17'x19' with 10 foot...

How would you describe the differences in the two?

What are the pros and cons? Vantages are going for 4K on Amazon and Ethos can be found for roughly the same price used. Vantage uses an older panel and port vs Ethos with a newer panel and a passive radiator. The Ethos is also slightly taller and has the DSP. I have a nice sub already what...

Thoughts on buying Logan's used on Audiogon? I have purchased amplifiers and a DAC second hand and had a good experience but fear something as fragile as an electrostat could pose a problem. Thoughts on buying Vantages of Audiogon? I would like to spend less than 5K for new speakers which...

The harddrive is completely silent but if FLAC is a requirement the ATV will not work. I researched the Squeezebox extensively and the reviews are split between those that love it and those that find it unreliable, difficult to set up and overall frustrating. Ultimately, I was content with...

good point, i missed that, personally i would convert the Flac to applelossles or re-rip the collection. The squeezebox is a poor interface compared to the apple. Additionally the streaming issues with drop out etc. are eliminated with the local hard drive of the apple tv. It is truly a...

I looked at the duet but went apple tv iPod touch instead. Refurbished iPod $160 + apple tv $180 same price better interface and zero networking hassles+ 160 gig hard drive. Also you can watch movies surf the web etc

I am curious about this as well, I am looking to replace my Klipsch RF-7s with Spires and go phantom for a center. I have experimented with my Klipsch in phantom mode and the sound is fine. Would the Spires have a similar "sweet spot" size the the RF-7s? I feel like my Klipsch are pretty...

Good to hear that the Logans can rock with enough power, why do the McIntosh 501s not do the trick?

good point, i have never listened to them with Vinyl.

I agree that listening is the best idea, i have tried and have only been able to listen to Vantages. In my experience they sounded great on simple singer/songwriter music but sounded compressed on more dynamic material. For example, Floyd's Wish you were here sounded awesome until the drums...

I can't accept that it is the recordings fault, when i have heard several high end systems sound amazing with Zeppelin. I have heard 802ds, Von Schweikert and my lowly RF-7s sound great with lots of Zeppelin. I admit that this was not always the case with my Klipsch, tubes fixed that problem...
