Martin Logan Ascent question - Please Help

Kirk's advice is good. Martin Logan sells their panels at reasonable prices. Get the serial numbers off the panels before you call, they may be in warranty (although it does not sound like a manufacturing defect to me) or you may only need to replace the one panel. Jim Powers at Martin Logan can tell you for sure.

I own a pair of Ascents and agree with the others. Plan on having the panels replaced. You should be able to factor that into the purchase price if the seller is reasonable. It almost sounds like they were exposed to some extreme heat.

Thanks guys.I just purchased the Ascents from A dealer that is giving up the line. Hope to hear them in a few days. Purchased Ascents up front and scrips for rear. Now looking for center channel and a good sub.

Rd1: I would highly recommend the cinema center channel. I have the Logos, but in some respects I think the Cinema is better, particularly for your setup. Obviously, it's well matched for your speakers.

Do you think the THEATER center is that much better than the cinema? Double?
