Nice stuff Love the Electromotions

Thanks Beek. I really love how sleek and clean they look. That was a BIG selling point, next to sound of course. I wanted aesthetics to the room as well as sound. They are just UNIQUE And of course, I love how "focused" the sound is. And my new C2 really takes the bulk of the load and keeps the EM-ESL on standby.

Martin Logan Electro-Motion Surrounds (EM-FX2)

Just got these babies...and they are "hefty" babies coming in at 16.5lbs. But they mate perfectly with my ESL fronts (left, right) and EM-C2 center channel (hidden in top-center cabinet of the BDIUSA furniture). Now my 5.1 system is complete!

Update: sold the Dynamo 700 10" subwoofer and replaced with the Outlaw LFM-1 EX 12" subwoofer capable of going as low as 16hz! ULF!

Nice system Gio!

Nice system Gio!

Thanks Churchill! Now I have to wait about a month.... Turns out the DSP processor is defective or at least that's what Marantz thinks it is, with regards to the RIGHT, surround rear output terminals. Instead of pure white noise when doing the test tones, I'd get static with the white noise. So for it to be fixed is going to take a while as my authorized repair center is backed up for a few weeks. But glad I'm all Martin Logan 5.0 (the 0.1 is Outlaw....I'm such a rebel )

That's why I just bought mine.. Just got the EM C2, 2 days ago. I'm using def tech 8040 surrounds. I'm using a 12" sub and a 15" sub.. Sounds great.

 

[jaramill]

The EM C2 is a big boy. It mates perfectly and takes the load off of the ESL fronts. Enjoy.

Welcome.......

I'm eager to get the FX 2's myself. Expensive,but I want all Martin Logan also. Might also look into getting a new sub.. I think the 1st thing I get might be an Emotiva X3.. Will that make a big difference with the ESL's and C2?

Now that is a great setup for movie time. Its also gona be a great 2 channel music experience with the electro's I bet them fx's sound great when there are explosions and shards of glass and shrapnel flying everywhere during a bluray. What are your impressions on the emc2 blending with the electromotion

 

[ML Goat]

I blends perfectly in my opinion,otherwise it would really bother me. Dialog is crisp and clear without being harsh at all. Great detail.
