    HELP! My Vista sounds worse then .99 cents earphone

    Do the newer ML speakers also have the power light that my Aerius's have? If so make sure that the light is turning on indicating that they are getting power. Also the bi amp jumpers should be installed as well.

    Looking for Amp info

    Technically if the A7 lacks a radio tuner its actually an integrated amp not a receiver but your point remains that very few receivers can do large ML's justice esp for music. A solid receiver like this one though will get you pretty close and would a solid choice for most situations. Its always...

    Building Home Theater, decided L/R ML Source but what for in-wall surround

    As far as rear surrounds go they should be a couple of feet above your head when seated and I like them to be a couple of feet behind my listening position. Truthfully for movies your rears don't really have to match the fronts that critically...they are mostly effects and ambient noise and when...

    Calling all Car Guys/Girls

    That sounds like the perfect day. Wish I could do that once in my life.

    Please help me choose Center/Rears for my ML Prefaces

    I have an encore that I'm using as a center and it works well enough. For the cost you really can't go wrong with the encore as a center. For rear surrounds though I still prefer in-ceiling speakers at least for movies/TV.

    Apple tv as music server?

    Lots to discuss here but the basic idea is solid. I use an appleTV to be the front end to my iTunes collection which is nearing one TB in size and is a mix of TV, movies and music. Music is again a mix of fluff which is mostly in MP3 format and the better stuff is stored in AAC lossless (or in...

    overheard at the San Antonio airport yesterday:

    I see the leafs have new uniforms...to me the best looking leaf uniforms where the black and white ones from the days they were winning games...or was that just the TV that was black and white?

    Too much room treatment?

    I've had a room that had the rear wall covered in linacoustic as well as the side walls up 36" from the floor and treated walls above that and it sounded awful. Granted I didn't have the Logan's at that time but I did have tower Ushers that were very very nice...but in that room it was too...

    System #355 (Aerius i)

    uploaded some more recent pictures of the front now that the center speaker is in place.

    overheard at the San Antonio airport yesterday:

    Actually no. All I'm saying is that dollar for dollar you an do better for less. Take something like the Energy Take 5 system. Its very similar sized, looks as good or better then the Bose system and is far cheaper plus its freq response actually covers the whole spectrum.

    overheard at the San Antonio airport yesterday:

    The problem is other the price they aren't a premium brand. Their headphones aren't bad but tend to be more expensive then similar products while their acoustimass products are terrible...and very expensive. As a company Bose does make some solid products, unfortunately most are for the...

    introduction to panels help

    Andrew welcome to the board! I'm not that far from you and just bought my first Logans...Aerius i's with upgraded panels so I know how you feel. If you'd like to listen to my set one night just give me a shout. For what its worth my set came from Creative Audio. I've known the owner there a long...

    Painting Ticket speaker grill

    Take the mesh off the speaker and use thinned paint to paint it. I like using a small foam roller to do it and don't try to put on too much paint at once. Its best to use several thin layers as you'll clog the holes if you apply too much at one time. If you do clog holes you can use a tooth pick...

    Repairing cabinet scratches on Ascent i's?

    Depending on the size sometimes something as simple as a black sharpie can be used to hide a scratch...its not a fix like paint would be but as a quick and dirty band aid it can at least make it less obvious.

    Squeezebox Duet opinions?

    AAC is an open standard and as Macallan points out you can stream data just like you can with a squeezebox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding Anyway my point wasn't that the OP should consider an AppleTV given the FLAC issue but to refute some of the miss information in this...

    Squeezebox Duet opinions?

    Now that's just silly. You can use MP3 or AAC (both lossy and lossless). I use a mix of AAC lossless for critical music and high bit rate MP3 for background noise (ie pop etc)

    Squeezebox Duet opinions?

    I use a Roku and AppleTv to stream my ripped music and can't see myself going back to CD again.

    ML 5.1 system - help

    Also why use a helio 20 for front Left and Right when the 10's would seem to be a better option being a single voice coil
