I agree with the above posts. Upgrade the projector--your speakers are great. I've used Logos and Monoliths in the front and Triads in the rear, but will be changing to MLs for the rear as well in a new room that has the space. The previous one did not allow for MLs in the rear. As previously said--ESLs are addictive, and difficult to listen to much else once you are acustom to the transparency. They are not the last word on dynamics, so if 90% of your movies are comprised of crashes and explosions, well then maybe a speaker switch makes some sense, but my guess is the thrill of another speaker would diminish soon and you would wonder why you ever got rid of the ESLs.
Martin Logan, thinking of upgrading HT speakers??
I currently have a Meridian 561 with Aragon 8008 and 4004 driving ML Sequel II's as the fronts, ML Logos as the Center and ML Aerius i as the rears. Sub is Velodyne ULD 15, Tv is 65" rear projection. My dilema is; I have been listening to first Magnaplaners in the 80's and then Martin Logans since 1994. I recently stopped by my local gear store ( big mistake ) and was impressed by the sound and feel of various conventional speakers. I would like to hear which speakers people with similar pre-amp/processor and/or amps have had good success with as well as from other Martin Logan owners that have jumped ship. Are you happy? Did you go back? My room size is L23'x W20'x H10'. I have also been told to leave the sound alone and spend the money on a new DLP projector since 98% of my systems use is home theater. I discovered Audiogon by mistake ( this is first posting) and cannot tell you how much I am enjoying. Thanks in advance for your comments.
