    Newb needs help. Aperion Grand Verus Tower, Infinity P363. - Help Gene!!!

    Hearing/listeing is very subjective. Since you bought these from a friend you must have listened to them prior to buying them. Did they for some reason sound better before you bought them?

    Music is different than home theater. Home theater has to appeal to a broader array of people sitting in different positions relative to the speakers. Electrostatic are very directional. Just my 2 cents and I am not an expert.

    No, heard them at Magnolia/best buy. Again, not trashing your choice, just for me it was a deal breaker. You love your speakers, I love mine, can't we just all get along? Now when I can get a dedicated pair of Maggie's, that may be a diff story. Cheers enjoy you your wonderful speakers. No harm...

    Yes, I have the versus grand center, and yes it is huge. Can't compare it to the forte though as I have never heard it. Wasn't crapping on Martin Logan. Fabulous speakers, just don't think great for home theater. Better for stereo listening. Wish I could afford both. My opinion only, and we all...

    I really like my Verus Grands in paiano black. They sound great. I also looked at the logan martin ESL's, but decided against them for home theater use as you have to be sitting in the sweet spot to really get the good sound. Even standing up, when I was in the sweet spot was enough to throw...

    Emotiva XPR-5 Five-Channel Reference Power Amplifier Preview

    Just like a comparison between the XPR-5 and the a series of XPA-1L's (that are due to come out soon). Which would be better for music and movies? Really don't think I need 400W per channel as I plan on keeping both my ears and speakers for some time to come.

    PS3 to DAC

    I use my ps3 as CD player, movie player. Will connecting it to a DAC improve the sound? Have to use optical cables for sound as my reciever is a little old and doesn't take audio over HDMI

    Ascend Acoustic Sierra OR Aperion Verus Grand

    All I can say is I bought the Verus center and towers at the end of December just before the price hike and I am totally happy with them. Love the piano black finish. But your right the center is a monster. You can mount it to the wall though.

    DIY tube amps?

    Just gotta ask , passed by the magnolia section at best buy the other day and they had a Macintosh set up playing with Martin Logan's that sounded terrific. Unfortunately I don't have 3 grand laying around to spend on a tube amp that just can't be that difficult to replicate

    Do all amplifiers sound the same thread

    it depends Have you wrapped your speaker wires in tinfoil and elevated the wires off the ground and are you using oxygen depleted copper. If so, than I can more or less guarantee you will hear a difference between amps. :)

    first system

    should have mentioned I already have a sub and maybe I am just tone deaf, but I can't tell a huge amount of difference between my $200 Polk sub and others much more expensive. I probably will wait awhile on the amp and just see how it sounds on the pioneer first. But I'd like to move that and...

    first system

    So ready for my first real system. Right now I have a pioneer elite vsx-80 hooked up to my 58 inch panasonic with Polk RTi's and a polk center. Been fun but I want something with a little more juice for music. Pretty much settled on the aperion grand verus towers and center (at least for the...

    Call me a sceptic, but...

    I have yet to see a review that says "these speakers, components, etc. suck" are the reviewers paid to review the products or scared to say that something doesn't live up to the price? Where could I go to find unbiased reviews, free of conflicts of interest.
