Thank you again for all the help & insights you’ve given me 🙏 The c18’s very wide sound just fills up our 13x13x8 room without even the help of LR channels 😂 the emotiva HC-1 monoblocks fit perfectly on our AV console, I’m so glad. They look pretty sexy sitting there side by side by side 🥰...

First of all, I would like a shoutout to ttocs (Scott) for all the help & feedbacks He both tried c18 center (he currently owns it) as well as Emotiva HC-1 monoblocks (he tried them a year or so ago and they did fairly well against his 3 channel krell). For my set-up it’s purely for watching...

SOLD all of them today 🙏

Congratulations! Now I’m super jealous 😅

Mine is only a motif-x and someday I would like to upgrade to focus c18 like yours I agree with all the stuff u mentioned, since I tried them too and ended up just putting the center channel below tv. Also propped to a slight angle :) I’ll place the focus at the same position of my motif x as...

That’s awesome! You’ll probably need another person or two , hanging that 50lb speaker on your wall. Excited for you

Have fun with the focus c18 demo Scott!

I’ll be upgrading to Martin Logan Impressions and Focus c18, so I’ll need to sell my current speakers and amplifier. The units are available for pick up here in RI. Martin Logan Theos - $2000 Piano black & mint condition I no longer have the box and manual. I will not be able to ship them...

from what I understood, all the xpr series…..all the channels are “bridged” internally. That’s the issue anyways, I saw your post, and it sucks that emotiva didn’t help you out at all.

yeah because of the bridge set up internally of their XPR set up. I guess generally eve a other amps that are bridged set up sees half the load already …..that’s why it’s no good especially for 4ohm speakers or lower

Emotiva currently don’t offer their XPRs on Martin Logan electrostats. They offer XPA instead. read the email they sent me on this photo attachment

What happened?

Wow, you really measured REeverything! That’s awesome! Thank you for that info! I think, if I’ll get the HC-1, I’ll get 3 units for all the fronts. So I can sell the ATI lol Need to recover some funds at least lol plus it will look cool to have 3 monoblocks side by side :) thank you again...

yeah I saw this on your post at emotiva lounge. That’s so weird. I thought advantage of monoblocks is you can put them beside the speaker and have a short speajer but that’s ok, I currently have 8 foot wires that are 8 gauge

bro, I didn’t even know you’re a member here! I was reading your posts and experience at emotiva lounge forum last night! i even joined that website so I can PM you, unfortunately, even after registering this morning, it still had to be approved by mods. They haven’t approved it up to now...

Ha! 😅 have you considered Emotiva HC-1 monoblocks?

hi you didn’t dream it. I actually was the one who posted it! Lol https://www.martinloganowners.com/threads/emotiva-xpa-dr-series-amps-no-bueno.19078/ That emotiva line is their “DR” series (differential reference amps). They’re bridged internally, so it’s not good for electrostats especially...

Thanks! That’s what I’m afraid of, spending money and not even hear any differences. Basically just a lateral move :(

So I recently have ATI 1803 amp (3 channels) running my pair of Theos and Motif X of my home theater. Room is around 20’ x 20’ and 8’ ceiling. Sound system includes a pair of Atlantic technology subs (powered 350w rms) and the rear surround speakers are powered by the marantz AVR. ATI specs...
