TV upgrade! (31” maybe 1080p -> 48” 4K) Some of you may remember me from a month ago, when I posted about the start of my AV setup. Anyways, I managed to find a deal on this 2021, so my partner and I are set until we don’t share walls, when I can create the rest of the home theater!

How do you like the Martin Logan’s?

I really like them and think they sound absolutely amazing! I Definitely went and got the speakers before I had the available space as they’re supposed to be a bit further apart and farther from the wall, but that just means they have room to improve and sound so much better

That’s a great way to think about it! I have I believe the same models as you do, and I’m in the same boat as far as they could be placed a little better. But wow do they sound angelic.

I would turn your speakers slightly inward to where they are facing where you’ll be sitting. Like you’re at the tip of a triangle. It’s crazy how much more precise they sound just from a few adjustments.

Yea when my buddy and I were doing set up, we found that using the flashlight trick paired with how far apart they are (only like 60”), that the best toe in would be having them facing almost straight out, so we decided to scoot them in just a bit to make it look better. I could always play around more with the placement. What are you powering your ESL’s with?

I believe it’s a Rotel 1570. What about you?

Which Marantz is that, SR8015?

It’s the SR5015 actually, I can’t see myself ever needing more than the 7.2, in fact I’ll probably end up with a 5.1 or 5.2 setup, it’s just nice having the 7 available
