Martin Logan Odyssey transducer problem.
Try switching the L/R speaker cables. That would confirm whether the problem is the speaker or your hearing.-Brew 
What is meant by subwoofer room pressurization?
Bondmanp is right. If you have a good sub that can dig deep and you're minding your own business watching a movie AND all of a sudden your clothes move before you hear anything, you have experienced room pressurization.But don't make a buying deci... 
DTS light not coming on
I also have an AVM 2 but it is out of service now. You're probably asking it to decode the DTS-HD Master Audio format which didn't exist when the AVM 2 was on the market. Your preamp might not display what you want to see, but still decode the for... 
With average use how long for panel replacement ML
I recently replaced the panels on my Aerius i's and they became brand new all over again. I bought them in '01 and they were floor models with very few hours on them.I confess to being a smoker which is very bad for the panels. And Atlanta can exp... 
Mirage BPS-400 subwoofer or something new?
Are you really in the Atlanta area? I am. I have a BPS-400 that I would gladly sell you for $250 and you pick it up at my house in Stone Mountain.I upgraded to an SVS Ultra a while back but the 400 puts out some very nice clean bass if you dial it...

Looking for a Great Sounding Outdoor Speaker
Ok Ok.Brewed is piping back in.I acknowledged in my original post that it was a cheap shot at our president. The thread's title just happened to strike me as a great "straight line" to get a laugh.And I just couldn't resist. It was too easy to fin...

Barak Obama is a great sounding outdoor speaker. But you will need two of them because words come out of both sides of his mouth.Sorry. I couldn't resist an easy jab.... 
Best Super-Tweek You Possibly Ever Did
You put a PB 13 Ultra on a table? Must be one helluva table. That's a 120 lb. sub right?I have the PB Ultra 13 cylinder sub. The best tweak wasn't really a tweak. It was $500 worth of bass traps in the corners of the room.A nice tweak was putting ... 
What should I upgrade?
I don't own nor have I heard any of the gear in this thread. But I DO own some Martin Logans and love them.My semi-educated suggestion would be to treat your room with bass traps in all four corners (I use Auralex) to reduce the boom and clean up ... 
DTS-HD Master Audio
My answer was a tad incomplete.If your receiver has that logo, it implies that it decodes the format. If so, you're good to go. If not, new can of worms. 
DTS-HD Master Audio
Telling us which receiver you have would have been a post saver. However...All BluRay players will feed your receiver that format via HDMI. 
Blu Ray Player
I just installed a new Panasonic BD-80 a couple days ago. It decodes the new formats but I needed that, because my preamp doesn't. I ran analog out to the preamp.I also have a Panny projector that is only 720P capable and firing a 90" screen.Altho... 
Subwoofer resonance isolation platform vs footers.
Rubber bottle stoppers! I remember those (circa 1955) as little plunger devices to keep the fizz in a 16 oz. Pepsi 'cause I was too young to drink the whole thing.To the point, I use 4 sorbothane "pucks" under my SVS Ultra13 on a flagstone hearth.... 
will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio
I agree with Bob. Get a decent sub and set your mains to cross at about 80hz (I know. It seems like you're not getting your money's worth out of your speakers. But it's the right thing to do.)You'll get much more clarity and soundstage info.I, lik...
