Martin Logan Aeons and Depth

I have read so much about this that it is time someone steps up to the plate and tells me what to do.

I like the Aeons, but maybe for the wrong reasons, plus I have only heard them at the dealer with some huge amp. Here's the deal: I want a cool HT for my basement room about 22x13x8. I listen to all kinds of stuff, but mostly rock. I have picked out the Aeons, Depth, Cinema, Scenarios, and a Sunfire Ultimate. I don't really know if I want some high maintenance system that is hard to setup. Also, the above hardware is going to take about $10k of my hard earned money. So, what should I do? I know there are a lot of people plugged into this board who are a whole lot smarter than me. I value any and all imput.

That is a nice room dimension for a HT (or stereo) setup. I am a Martin Logan fan so right off the bat I like your choice. Why do you say "but maybe for the wrong reasons" when refering to your Aeon preference? There is more help for you at http://www.martinloganowners.com/ Good luck.

I sat and auditioned B&W speakers for hours. B&W and Martin Logan are the two main speaker lines sold where I bought my speakers. When I went to buy a set of B&W's a different salesperson offered a side by side listen. The Logans blew the B&W's away. It was like a huge wall of sound , much larger than the B&W's. They sounded great loud, real loud.
Try a side by side, bring your own music, hook them both up to the same system. Put as much $$ into your front speakers as you can. I don't think you need bigger or better wires with the Logans. Start with less expensive wires so you can get the speakers you want, you can bi-wire later. Good Luck!
