The appear to be very similar speakers. Stats wise, the Theos has a slightly larger panel while the Vantage has slightly better frequency response. I think you need a stronger/better amp for the Theos, and a sub. You will likely want a sub for the Vantage as well so that may be a wash, unless...

People die in soccer riots, that is probably more ridiculous. It's pretty simple... How would we feel if we were occupied by a Muslim army and they burnt a couple of copies of the Bible? A lot of people would probably be ****ed. It wouldn't be the burning itself but what it represents.

If by update you mean "making it new"... Have you considered just buying a new crossover board from ML? If by update you mean "modifying".... Check out the thread: Modifying the Odyssey crossover - my adventure

So how did the Marantz AV7005 work out? I'm debating whether I should upgrade my Sunfire TGIV for the Marantz AV7005. Feature wise it's a no brainer, but sound quality (both music and HT), I want to know if it's better. Also...this is a minor question, but does the AV7005 automatically...

In option 1, you are sitting 90 degrees from the speakers? Maybe turn the sofa, have it sitting mid-room. Push the speakers closer to the wall, and use sound absorption behind the speakers and the wall behind the sofa and see what you get. For option 2, I'd try to center it on that recessed...

How do you feel the Vignette pair up with the Vantage? I have a very similar setup to you, except I have the Aerius i back there...always wondered how something smaller would sound.

Congratulations Luca! I also entered into the fray with the Aerius i as well :).

I think this is a very valid comparison between the XPA series and UPA series. This is the type of data folks are looking for in their purchase designs, A vs B. I had considered Emotiva and read lots of good things about them in magazine reviews. I personally have no opinions as never heard...

Valid point... But they also say for Plasma TVs that the negative burn-in affect gets reduced as the screen gets used 100 hours and has time to burn-in a little overall. I guess that has some logic to it. I'm in your camp though for the rest of the stuff :-).

Welcome fellow Jerseyian! Nice setup you have there...make sure you show your system with pics when you get the chance. This forum will help you explore your obsession big time ;).

I'm using a couple of airport express. They do wireless-N. You use your iphone or ipad to control them. You could also use your laptop running itunes as the controller if you want. You can stream music from: any itunes computer(s), the library on your iphone/ipad even youtube (and some...

Nice setup! Is the PS3, an older one, for the SACD? or do you have a TV/screen hidden somewhere?

I'm with the majority on this one. A used cinema center won't break the bank though.

I was going to say Ascent i ;) and then the Vantage. I would look at retail price...and I believe Ascent was in the same range as the Vantage. As for ranking...you could also go up from the bottom.

Just wondering, but can you install them horizontally?

Depressing day today....really.

We have a party for the poor. We have a party for the rich. We don't have a party for everybody in the middle. Reason is... The rich have money to influence with greed (you want my campaign funds?). The poor have the stories to influence with emotion (I live in tiny apartment and can't go do...

I can speak Passage (Voyage's little brother) vs the Vantage (Ethos' cousin maybe?).... Wider soundstage? Passage...the ATF driver is directional, but not as limiting as the electrostat panels. Decor friendly? Passage gets the edge as the curved cover is nice..they have a paintable one, and the...

I'm in favor of DBT...or any type of testing that removes the bias of price and brand out of the equation. I also understand that the test may need to be longer than a 5 minute clip of the same song. I also understand it may require the equipment to be switched back and forth multiple times...

The Ascent and Vantage are in the same family, so you won't be doing yourself a disservice. Might I suggest if you could find yourself the "Ascent i" as it comes with a 2nd generation panel.
