Martin Logan - wow
Martin Logans are sexy but have a narrow dispersion. Sound Labs are not as pretty, but will out perform the ML's. If you want bass, the bigger the better. I have not heard the Innersounds.If space is an issue and you want some bottom end, consider... 
Home Theater Speaker Advice
I agree with using larger speakers for the fronts if budget permits. Just make sure the drivers match the surround speakers you select.True, dipoles emulate a diffused soundfield, but home theater is out running real movie theaters in the multi ch... 
Home Theater Speaker Advice
Consider the best 5 identical monitors/speakers you can buy and a sub instead. My 2 cent's. 
High end PCs,,,,,in the wall or power conditioner?
Plug them in the wall! You could buy one cord and run one amp in stereo. Probably would sound better. 630 Watts is overkill for just about any speaker. 
Information on N.E.W. A20.1Power Amp
The A20 is a great sounding little SS amp. It's 20 watts/ch I believe. If you don't have power hungry speakers, it should be just fine. The DC-33 was the battery powered version of the A-20. It spec'ed out higher with the instant current from the ... 
Opinions Please?
Stick with the same amps and speakers if possible. Different models of amps vary as much as speakers of the same make. If you can't match everything exactly then at least the same manufacture might have a similar signature sound. 
Revel center channel help. C-30, C-50 or Voice?
You most certainly can use an M-20 speaker for your center channel. If you already have M-20s and are happy with that performance level then a complete system made up of M-20s and one or two subs should work quite well. Unless your room size is ve... 
floorstanders on carpet over concrete
Try adding some more cushy furniture in the room. It's free and worth a try if you can move something down there easily. 
Revel center channel help. C-30, C-50 or Voice?
Matching your speakers is very important for home theater. If your room is small the 30 series might be more than enough. It is unclear from the Revel web site if the top end drivers of the 50 differs from the 30 or the 20 series. If they are the ... 
How can I improve my HT audio?
I would match your speakers first. Move the Kappas to another room. Use B-system (multi-room) speaker outs on your receiver if it has that feature. If you have no use for them, sell them and add that to your theater budget. 
How can I improve my HT audio?
The sub does not need to be the same make as the rest of your system. The crossover may not be an issue either because your pre-processor has an electronic one built-in. Run the sub crossover off or wide open then set the volume level with test to... 
How can I improve my HT audio?
Use the same speakers all the way around. Avoid sideways center channel if possible. These are designed more for looks and marketing than for sound quality and the correct dispersion pattern (There are a few exceptions on the market). Also, avoid ...

krell hts 7.1 or meridian 568v2?
No experience with Krell here. Meridian prides itself on upgradability. The 568 has just started it's product life cycle and will most likely be around for a long time. This is something to think about.Set-up is much easier now with computer softw... 
Meridian 565 vs. 561 Differences?
The 565 has 1 digital coax, 1 digital optical and one analog input. If you have a minimalist system it can work as a stand alone uniit. If you have more sources, then you also need a 562V. You plug all your sources into this box, then 1 digital to...
