Sorry for this very basic question, but what's the difference? I suspect gray screens will require brighter projectors. Will they? I'm not exactly an HT newbie, but I've never used front projection. This will be my first time... Thanks a lot for the help.

Doesn't the forum prohibit hasty accusations as well? :D

Ok. So now I know how a tiny typo error can get me into trouble. I turned out to be someone who promotes illegal DVD copies. For the record, I was refering to Episode I... ONE. You know, where the pod race is. It's a good thing that Patrick is quick to close out that thread. Can someone...

About the bottoming-out thing... I wonder whether this disc is capable of bottoming-out the amazing stacked set of EIGHT 12" subwoofers PER SIDE of the unflappable MartinLogan Statement E2 system. I couldn't imagine these gigantic speakers bottoming-out, but there's always a first time for...

Did the front, center and surround (and maybe subwoofer) blend well? My copycat friend who bought the ML Scenario when he discovered that I did :D now plans to go "full Martin". I only heard MartinLogans in two-channel pairs, and now wondering if HT experts here have tried a full MartinLogan...

Try van den Hul cables. They worked well (mine is the entry-level "Clearwater") with my B&W's (CDM 1NT). I used them bi-wired... it really makes a difference (although slight) compared to single-wired, at least with B&W's, whose crossover filters are physically separated throughout. I used to...

Dynaudios are great, but I don't know of any dynamic speaker within your specified budget that beats MartinLogan Odyssey in terms of effortless micro-detail resolution and transparency. Being an SL3 owner, you know what I'm talking about. I own electrostatics (ML Scenario) so this might be...

It looks absolutely gorgeous. And the improvements over the Nautilus 805 seem promising.

I guess my DVD player's lens is getting dirty, so I would like to know: 1. Is a cleaning disc (with brush and fluid) recommended/safe? 2. Are there any other safe way to clean without opening the transport assembly? 3. For a DVD/SACD player, do I need a DVD cleaning disc, or a cleaning...

Carl, Glad to hear from another happy MartinLogan owner. It must be nice to have the "Full Martin". Unfortunately, living in an apartment and having to move frequently keeps me from having five big speakers. For small apartments, I guess even the "small" Script would seem physically too...

Thanks. :)

ATTENTION, MartinLogan owners! A friend of mine also bought the Scenario for his home theater. Problem is, even if he was such a copycat that he has almost the exact same gear as I do (except for cables and my surround speakers), his Scenario doesn't seem to work fine in his room. He was so...

I thought that my search for a speaker that is both finely detailed and musical would keep on going 'round in circles. But I'm thankful for the day that I ran into a demo of MartinLogan speakers. To put it simply, I think I'm hooked. My Boring Story My first "high-end" speaker was the B&W...

Different people, different opinions... but there seems to be certain audio companies that are very often not appreciated (to say the least) by many people (not necessarily the majority), especially in forums such as this, even if professional reviewers actually rank them among the best out...

I posted a week ago (or so) regarding my Sony DVP 9000ES's disc tray being a bit "lazy"... I mean not treading out properly when I eject a disc. Almost completely out, it stops ejecting, then the sensing mechanism pulls the tray back in again! First, I thought that happens all the time. Now I...

Best Sounding Speaker Worst Sounding Speaker Best Value Speaker Worst Value Speaker Most Beautiful Speaker Ugliest Speaker Thanks for your time in answering yet another one of my regular surveys. This is not about selecting speakers for purchase, just an exchange of ideas. :)

I just got my Scenario, and when I looked at the contents of the "accessory kit", I found no spikes. I just got the normal footers attached to the speakers. I read several reviews that mentioned that their review pair of 'Logans (even the entry-level Scenarios) came with a set of ETC spikes...

Btw, by "20K+" I meant not only $20K-$29999, but also those that cost up to $100K+. In fact, I mean to exclude even the (still very expensive) $10K-19K models, which to some audiophiles are still "sane". I was thinking of something like Wilson Grand SLAMM (or the hell-breaks-loose WAMM)...

I mean those that you wouldn't hesitate to buy if you had tons of cash to spare. If so, pls name it/them and tell us why you think they're well worth their price. Personally, if I were a spoiled rich kid, I wouldn't mind buying a $70K+ MartinLogan Statement E2 system... if I had the...

I agree with the idea of looking at what the best professional mixing studios (such as those in Hollywood) have in their setup, and try to come as close to that. Why? The ultimate goal of HT is to hear the sound intended by the creator of the soundtrack. You experience that exact same thing...

I've been hearing that the DVP 9000ES is soon being replaced. Or already was? If so, it better be as well-constructed and beautiful. I still can't imagine why Sony's new flagship player for multichannel SACD (SCD-XA777ES) seems much inferior in industrial design and build quality, but not...

Would somebody here want to beat that $80K budget? Do I hear $100K? :D

Btw, about the possibility of bad laser assembly... Since an SACD, on a physical perspective, is essentially a DVD, with an additional CD layer for hybrids, why do all of my DVDs play perfectly ok with my player? I'm starting to think that this is either a programming "bug" somewhere in...

Greg, Thanks heaps anyway. Your suggestion has been very useful indeed. Ken, Thanks for the reply. Let's just say that I'm now willing to take the risk, just to save my self the trouble of bringing my unit to the service center. I won't last a day without my DVD player... I want my daily...

Keith, I also hope so! :) Greg, Actually, my unit only allows calibration for these disc types: - CD - DVD SL - DVD DL - SACD I didn't see any distinction between SL and DL SACDs. Maybe that is only available on dedicated SACD models? I tried to find that through the service...

Greg, I just tried getting through the Service Menu to recalibrate the transport mechanism. And it seemed to be working, coz discs that didn't play before now were able to play. BUT... it seems that only the last SACD that I used for recalibration is being properly played. But I don't...
