    Vista/Vantage and new receiver to pair

    Can't speak for the Vista/Vantage debate.... As for AV receiver....if you can work with 5 channel...the Sunfire (5200, Cinema Grand) 5x200 are going for under $1K and folks around here like them cuz they handle MLs low impedances pretty well. You can spend a little more and get their 5x400...

    Processor vs Receiver to feed amp?

    Really? The Sunfire was so much better? That sounds encouraging. I have been thinking whether it's better to get a processor that can handle the newer audio standards (Dolby DTS HD, uncompressed 7.1, etc). The other option is to get a BlueRay player with 7.1 outs.

    Aerius i vs SL3

    No insult taken. I see what you are saying...I'm the one that needs to like it at the end of the day, and it doesn't matter if it's popular or not. What I wrote didn't come out right..... Of course I can tell a difference, but liking some of the difference is very subjective, especially when...

    Processor vs Receiver to feed amp?

    I have been digging into the Sunfire Theater Grand. I really can't tell much of a difference between the I, II, III, IV and TGP-5. I and II seem the same. III and IV have extra component inputs. TGP-5 has HDMI inputs but only for video. I need to look into the multi-channel input and getting...

    Aerius i vs SL3

    Thanks for all the feedback guys :bowdown:. You may laugh, but I'm not one to audition stuff really, mainly because I'm not enough of an audiophile to really be a good judge. My ears aren't that good in that way. I kind of need to be told what's good, then I'll look around for a good deal...

    Aerius i vs SL3

    Hi guys, I have been bitten with upgrade-itis :). My setup is in a 15x20 x 8 room. I use the room for both music and HT. I was thinking of upgrading my Aerius i set. I don't think I can fit something huge like the CLS/Request line even though I'd like to. I was thinking of getting either...

    Processor vs Receiver to feed amp?

    Hi folks...I just recently bought a pair of Aerius i, and a Logos center. I delegated my PSBs as my rears. The upgrade bug is still hitting me... I was powering the setup with a Harmon Kardon AVR7300. It sounded great, with no thermal shutdown nor problems at loud volumes. I randomly...

    Aerius for theater mains?

    Are the Aerius' going up front or back? Most important is fronts and center matching. Ideally everything should match though. I have a pair of Aerius i, and a Logos center. I'm pretty happy with it. This replaced a set of PSB 800s and a PSB 100ci up front. I moved 800s to the...

    Power Cord for Purity

    I just replaced my power cables with those I had lying around for a PC. They were thicker than the ML missing-prong ones I had. I would think they would work fine as the wiring in the house is either 14 guage (15 amp circuit) or 12 guage (20 amp circuit).

    Power Cord for Purity

    Wait...are MLs not supposed to have the 3rd prong? My set came with 3rd prong missing...I had assumed a previous owner cut them off cuz he didn't have a 3 prong extension or something like that.

    Hello from Piscataway, NJ

    Nice.....I did the reverse move..hah. I used to live in Mountain View, CA. I have been searching diligently on Audiogon. My first challenge is making heads and tails out of the models which has been a process in education. ML chose to use names which really makes it tough to know what's what.

    Hello from Piscataway, NJ

    Heey...thanks for the welcome! :) I ended up getting a set of "Aerius i" that were being sold close by. I did some A/B testing against my PSB and the Aerius is better hands down. Then again to be fair, I don't believe the 800s are in the same class. The goal was to find something budget but...

    Harmon Kardon AVR 7300 for Aerius i

    Okay...I went ahead and set it up with the receiver. It sounds great! :) Only caveat is I notice that I have the turn up the receiver dial higher, compared to my old speakers, to get decent volume. Anyhow, I cranked it as high as I needed and I didn't notice the amp showing distortion, nor...

    Harmon Kardon AVR 7300 for Aerius i

    Tosh: Great...working is good. Better? Yes...but I want to wade before I swim :). Heh..just realized I wrote MK...not sure what I was thinking :o. I did a search on the forum before posting...I must have missed the thread. If you have a link to the thread, I'd appreciate you posting it...

    Harmon Kardon AVR 7300 for Aerius i

    Hi guys, I'm new "to be" to the M/L world...I'm looking to get my feet wet with something reasonable. I'm looking at a pair of Aerius i that were built in Dec. 98. Original panels. I'm hoping they are in good shape. What I really wanted to know was... I have a Harmon Kardon AVR 7300 which...

    Hello from Piscataway, NJ
