I get the feeling that he's a diehard Wilson fan. Most people I know that really like Wilsons always have alot to fault with ML. I have also heard some of them mention MLs as colored before too. That I just don't understand... If anything, it is likely the Summit won't have the last word in...

Chordeater, did you ever get the impression that the built in amplifier for the summit woofers just wasn't enough to get everything out of them? Just curious as 400 watts seems a little low for those long throw woofers cramped into those little boxes.

I'd like to know myself. I would surmise the Summit is more explosive and dynamic top to bottom..more live and unrestricted.

I have yet to hear the Summit. If those reQuests are well cared for then you'd be hard pressed to find a better speaker anywhere for that money. Just my humble opinion ofcourse...

The reQuest retailed for less than the Vantage does now, only just a few years ago. I've heard the Vantage on two occasions and I don't care what anyone says, unless you have a very small room, the reQuest was a better speaker at a better price. The reQuest may not be "quite" as refined with...

I think they really are quite stunning to behold. But gee, those cabinets look like they're constructed of some really thin material there :eek: Talk about serious equalization to provide flat response in a box that small...only 200 watts per woofer? :cool: And why the Cinema mated to...

Your system is stellar. Bet you love those monos (I admit it, I'm hooked on the Krell fpb sound). Regarding your plywood platform...I believe if you clad it with some 1" dark granite you could make everything tie in much better even with that huge tv there. Barbados

Oh man...the subject of digital cables...I've had very good experience with Discovery AES/EBU digital cables but don't really worry about that stuff anymore as the KPS 25sc is all in one :D I also use their analog interconnects from pre to phono stage and I find them very very good.

The Servo 15 Mk II with it's 4200 watt RMS amp and all new driver design is superior in output to the DD 15. The EQ flexibility is not there with the Paradigm but the price more than makes up for it. With the servo subs I find very little to be gained from infinite baffle designs because the...

Eric, There is something about your media room that I really really am drawn to. It is so perfectly setup and clean. The proportions are all correct it seems... Now is the time to just sit back and really immerse yourself in all those 5.1 DTS and SACD recordings. Enjoy! :p (Don't forget to...

Everyone here seems to think that the Statements need to have a relatively live surface behind them (on the front wall). I've found this smears the soundstaging a bit as the Statements propel quite a bit of sound as compared to the Prodigies or reQuests. In fact I feel that I must have the...

My back row is on 8" risers. As I use Monolith IIIps now it is no problem. Before when I had the Aerius as rear and sides it was a problem. I got custom built steel stands to bolt onto the wall to lift the speakers 2 feet off the ground. From there I tilted the speakers forward with the rear...

Thank you. The media room is my place of refuge and where I find it easiest to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You can find the musicians here: http://www.allthatjazz.cc/ The pictures do not do them justice whatsoever. They are absolutely stunning to behold and would fit any...

I never trusted those Canadians...

What do they actually do? Well they set it up with your help (only tricky thing is getting on the rear midbass grill cloth), get it reasonably good sounding, have lunch with you and then take the next plane out! The differences I made on my own tweaking over the next year or so thereafter made...

As soon as I get my Theta Casablanca III and get my Theta Voyager repaired you guys are welcome anytime. Also this is the 3rd time my FPB 600 has broken down due to some microprocessor board fault so I'm thinking of just getting a Dreadnaught to drive the subs, center, and surrounds and have it...

I would never buy a thing from Andy Singer.

Hello, It's air conditioned 24/7 and the reflective side of the tube traps is facing me.

I realize the thread started only asking about reQuests vs. Ascent but I'd like to add that the Odysseys are more linear with a more extended an airy top end. Further to Spike's post, I agree with Tom in that you should not use ML dealer demos as a reference...do not trust them. Online reviews...
