    Benchmark AHB2 Bridged Monoblocks -

    benchmark ahb2 is one of my dream amps to drive me Theos, since ahb2 is the lowest distortion amp out there. but my only concern is, does it have enough watts to really fully maximize my Theos (especially your montis)? it’s spec states only 190w rms @ 4 ohms while Theos can go up to 400w

    Emotiva XPA-DR series amps - NO Bueno!

    i used to run my Theos with only crown xls 2502. Very powerful amp down to 2ohms class D. My motif x was only ran by my marantz avr. I upgraded to ATI 1803 (3 channel , class AB) so I can run my Theos and motif x. They are way more musical now and very clean & clear compared to my previous set...

    Emotiva XPA-DR series amps - NO Bueno!

    If any of you are planning to get Emotiva’s top of the line XPA-DR series (differential reference) to run your Martin Logan’s , scratch that idea! Emotiva email stated: “The DR amps are fully differential, using two amplifiers in a bridged, differential configuration. Electrostatic speakers...

    Hello from Rhode Island

    thank you! The Crown is definitely way more powerful since it has 3x more wattage. But the ATI is more musical. I wish the ATI just had more power since it’s only around 270wpc @ 4 ohms.

    Hello from Rhode Island

    Hello, here’s my simple HT set up; Just replaced the crown XLS 2502 amp with ATI 1803 3-channel amplifier. I’m glad I did! Fronts & especially the center channel improved (center used to be ran by AVR)! ☺ VIDEO: -Sony XBR-75X900E LED TV -Sony UBP-X800M2 4K UHD player 5.2 SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM...

    Blue LED light not turning ON

    Hi Roberto, Yes, the Theos don’t have internal amplifiers. I run my theos using my crown amplifier (external amp). Both the theos have sound on the panel, and sounding perfectly. But one theos don’t have blue LED light when running. Only the other theos has blue led light. I’m hoping that...

    Blue LED light not turning ON

    Hello, I bought a nice used pair of Theos online. They’re both working fine, but one of the Theos doesn’t turn on its blue led light. I tried switching the low volt cables, but no luck. I know it’s ON since I can here that slight buzz from the panel, when I turn up the gain of my external...

    System #542 (Theos, Motif x)

    Thank you Roberto! Where is your famous “hola!” Lol I was reading a lot of your comments about theos and ethos for the past few weeks...which really made me upgrade my sources to theos! Definitely worth it! :)

    System #542 (Theos, Motif x)

    Thank you! What amp are you using for your theos? Do you think, my crown amp is not enough to power the theos? Or are you talking about a tube amp or something ....to make the quality of music even better? Before lunch, I actually just bought a pair of 2’x4’ (2 inch thick) AlphaSorb® QS...

    System #542 (Theos, Motif x)

    Thank you Brad! I bought the ML Sources a couple of years ago with an impulse without reading a lot about MLs. They’re a good set of speakers, but again only basic entry level, and of course people always want something better :)

    System #542 (Theos, Motif x)

    Thanks Tom! I just upgraded my Sources and Polk s35 center literally a few days ago, so I don’t think I will be upgrading anytime soon lol. My wife will literally kill me! lol The crown amps are not really known as a “home” amplifier. It’s known for as a professional gear for concerts/etc...
