Yup. I believe that is correct. That sounds similar to what I did with my old integrated amp and the sunfire amp.

Couple of things you can do: Get a hold of the serial numbers to determine the exact age. You can use the serial number decoder here: http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5178 or maybe call ML to verify. I would check/ask if the speakers were kept in direct sunlight...

Great report, Tim! If I didn't have so much going on, I would have attended this show for sure. I just went on vacation to Europe, but after seeing your wonderful posts I wish I would have ventured out to CO! There's just so much to see and audition! Great job! Erik

Are you talking about the Denon Pre-amp (AVP-A1HD). The AVP A1HDCD is the flagship denon receiver, so you are probably referring to the A1HD - the preamp. Are you wanting to use your current receiver as an amplifier and then get the A1HD as the pre-amp? I suppose you could do that if you...

There's a few things to consider such as amplifier topology (class A, class AB, etc). Supposedly class A amps are the best (and the most expensive) since they reproduce the signal with the least amount of distortion. I want to say that class AB amps are more efficient from a power consumption...

Well you could certainly move the speakers to the other side and see if you like them there. It may make a nice difference, or be worse. It's hard to tell until you try. This is so subjective. Room treatments almost always help, so tackling the corners and, if possible, relocating the TV...

Both are excellent and this choice could easily be a coin flip. I did listen to the Fathom a ways back and I was very impressed. Having said that, the Depth is no slouch either. Erik

I am not sure they have attended this particular show over the last 2-3 years. Erik

Yup. They sure do. Lots of decent gear at this store: Cary, NoLa, Manley, YG, Davis (never heard of these), etc.

Not sure if you can nab them under $500, but take a look at Sunfire amps. Gobs and gobs of current and they stay ice cold even when playing at high levels. Erik

Been away for a while and I just got back from my trip to Europe. While in Geneva I visited a nice hi fi salon.

In that price range, for new equipment, you can look at either Rotel or NAD. If you aren't opposed to used equipment, a lot of options will open up in the sub $1000 price range. Erik

I slept in until about 8 or 8:30 and I just started grad school at Univ. of Florida. I turned on the TV (spanish channel of all things) and I saw the buildings burning. I had no idea what was going on but something in the back of my mind told me that those buildings looked a lot like the World...

Conservatives >> Liberals. That ought to do it.

I've heard a mixed bag of opinions between using the voltage and current sources. My sunfire does not support both options, so I have no direct experience. Having said that, I really do enjoy this amp and I think Sunfire delivers lots of bang for the buck. Erik

No issues driving my Aerius i with the Syphonic Reference and the newer ML models have powered woofers (not the Vista, but the Vantage does). Thus, the task for the amplifier may be less taxing since they are not burdened with powering both the low and high frequencies. Buy with confidence. Erik

I might be able to attend. I need to double check the dates. I have a trip to Europe that ends in early October. THe show is an absolute blast and it's nice to run into a few MLOC members! Erik

You can also look at Kimber.

He's not blameless, but the underpinnings of the credit meltdown go back beyond his time at the helm. The credit meltdown was the result of a variety of complex problems (shadow banking industry, the securitization of just about anything - CDS, CDOs, etc) and a number of people are at fault: the...

I haven't shot clays in ages, but I did enjoy it. I love to give this is 'shot' again!
