Thanks Mike and also John; looking forward to our new 77" TV and speakers. Couldn't have done it without Both of your inputs as well as others that gave input too. Thanks again for your time in steering me in the right direction. Mahalo, Robbie

Hi Mike, Thanks for trying to help me get the best of my system but I think we're going to stay with where the Bose is according the Best Buy as it would be easiest just to Remove/Replace. They said that using the tilt/turn wall mounts the Installation Team will do their best in ensuring the...

Hi Mike and John, Thank you so much for all your input about where/how in the proper environment my speakers should be placed. When you walk our house from the Garage, our Kitchen and Family Room is one Big Open living space with no Walls. Our Buffet Countertop where we sit for meals facing the...

Thanks for your suggestions; I appreciate it. ~Robbie

Hi Mike, If you don't mind me trying to explain my set up, True Seating area is 11.5' Wide x 19.25' Deep; TV to Sofa is 16'. Two speakers to Left and Right behind Sofa; Left Front is on Left Wall leading to upstairs and Right Front is to the Right of the TV. Therefore, if I use keyhole, it will...

Hi Mike Up, Is the 'stand offs' the Grill that you are referring too that seem to have like a 'funnel cone' pointing towards the speaker where the keyhole is at the top? So is that 1/2" enough to be considered keeping off the wall? Right now my Bose seem to be able to swivel as it is double...

Aloha Mike Up, Thank you so much for your continued support and comments/information; I appreciate the information about the dry wall anchors and you using the key slot mounts. I wasn't sure if I could use that as I thought I read that the speaker shouldn't be mounted 'flush against a wall' that...

Aloha John, Yes, thanks . . . in fact the SB-1000 was $100 cheaper than Martin Logan. Customer service was excellent at SVS; I was talking with someone who used to work at Best Buy and told him about my problems with Geek Squad and provided me some Tips. He also was the person that told me...

Aloha John Rice and Mike Up, Thank you for your quick response and suggestion on the Wall Mounts; I really appreciate it. You mentioned that you personally would have gone with the SVS SB-1000 which Best Buy is selling, which is the PRO and it is $599.99 vs $699.99 that I paid for the Martin...

Hi Mike Up and John Rice, I forgot to THANK both of you for talking me out of the Cambridge Audio Minx; I really appreciate it. Mahalo, Robbie

Hi John Rice, Thank you so much for your comments about the subwoofer; I just saw your Post after I sent mine. Are you also saying that my Martin Logan should be fine and that I don't need to worry at all as the Geek Squad should know how/what to do in Testing/Setting up all my components? As...

Aloha Mike Up, Thank you for still being a GEM; I really appreciate your time and especially your knowledge. You stated 'You have a complex subwoofer which is unlike most. It does its own calibrations. A subwoofer can go in the low bass with a limit. The sub also has a limit on how high in the...

Hi Mike Up and John Rice, Thank you so much for continuing to help me. Although we are able to Return items if we don't like them and that Best Buy Geek Squad will be the ones to install what we buy; I don't think Best Buy would like to have us do trial and error. Since we don't know how to...

Hi John Rice and Mike Up, I stayed up all night trying to research and read about the Cambridge Minx and was sooooo SAD to see that you folks seem to be abandoning me as I didn't mean to offend any of you with wanting to change to Mini Cube speakers like the Bose. As mentioned, we are sooooo...

Aloha Everyone, First off, thanks Sam Posten for your comments about life of TV. It's me the CLUELESS Senior again and I would really appreciate it if Wayne, Mike Up, John Rice, etc. can help comment one last time as I read through all my posts and your replies and just have a few more...

Aloha Wayne and John, Yes, I think it might be a little exaggerated too; but they really don't build things like they use to the induction stove, fancy refrigerators, etc. My girlfriend remodeled kitchen in 2010 and had to have her stove and refer fixed twice and eventually got new ones. In...

Aloha John Rice, Thanks for saying I did a good move . . . Thanks for the GRINS of your Subs. Nice review and OMG you sure have some GREAT equipment. ~Robbie

Oh WOW John Rice . . . you definitely have a very nice system; but at least you know what to do with your system. As you mentioned, even Best Buy said I shouldn't skimp on the Subwoofer; I know we will definitely enjoy the 77" LG OLED and the new Surround Sound system. Thanks everyone for all...

Thanks Mike, Didn't realize it was that expensive but because Best Buy would have matched Amazon's price for the Klipsch SPL-100 they felt the Martin Logan technically for the same price would be 'crisper and not as rumbling'?? Thanks for saying we did okay with the Martin Logan . . . my...

Hi Mike Up, No, we didn't get to compare the Klipsch R-120sw against the Klipsch SPL-100 subwoofer as our Best Buy Audition Room only had Satellite speakers that was $300 and up and they didn't have the Klipsch R-120sw and SPL-100 so couldn't compare. In Hawaii we only had Circuit City as...

Hi Mike Up, Sorry I didn't see your msg until after I just sent my response back to John Rice. My husband likes to watch Golf and have a hard time seeing the Score/What Hole so decided he wanted a bigger TV. I'm the one that do all the research and didn't know anything about QLED, QNED, OLED...

Hi John Rice, As mentioned, we're Clueless Seniors and don't really listen to music but love to watch action/thriller and don't need a lot of BOOM. Had 54" Panasonic Plasma w/Bose Acoustimass 10 Series II. We were planning to buy the LG 77" OLED G2 then found out that White ACM 10 II Right Rear...

Aloha Mike Up and Wayne, Wow Mike Up you have a very nice set up in your Main Living Room and Media Room. Well since we're Seniors and are very CLUELESS, this is what we bought today for our Family Room: LG 77" OLED G2 w/Stand, 2 pairs White Polk Elite ES10, Black Polk Signature Elite ES35...

Thanks again Mike Up, I'm going to go with the ES35 cause it's shorter and not as deep. Thanks again for your help; I'm leaving in 2 minutes. ~Robbie

OMG Mike Up . . . you're a GEM . . . getting ready to leave to meet Best Buy. As said, we don't really listen to music but enjoy Action/Thrillers but since Seniors don't really need extra loud BOOMS. With that said do you think if I went with 2 Pairs White Polk Elite ES10 @199/pair $398...

Thanks John Rice of your comments of Wayne . . . I just saw your Post now . . . really appreciate your input.

Aloha Wayne and Mike Up, Me again . . . I'm a slow reader and just saw Mike Up's comment: 'ES35 center channel speaker and the larger ES30 center channel speaker are voiced matched to the Polk ES series;' therefore, I guess Black DT ProCenter 1000 might not voice match with Polk ES10...

So sorry, little OLD Senior me again . . . I forgot to mention that we don't usually listen to music with my Onkyo CD player, but LOVE to watch Thriller Action Movies instead. ~Robbie

Aloha Wayne, Thank you so much for saying that I can use any brand speakers I want since I'm using the Yamaha AVR; I appreciate your and Mike Up's comments as both of you have been very helpful. Initially I stated that my Family Room is 21.5' x 19.25' is Approx 410 sq. ft.; however, that is...

Aloha Mike Up, Thank you so much again for your quick response and with all the helpful information you provided, this is what I'm thinking of doing and again would appreciate your comments/opinion since I wanted small speakers and we're Seniors. 2 Pairs White Polk Elite ES10 @199/pair $398...
