I have the martin logan cinema, very pleased with the results. Tire I do ht/music all in one. Yes it can be done, just a bit expensive(pre for music and seperate pre for ht). I hear what your saying about the 2 fronts setup correctly the vocals come right from the center of the room. I experienced the same thing w/my 2 fronts but when I add the center I heard what all the hype was about. Big difference. I say the hell with the negative points. Whoever came up with "rate this post". I find this funny, every time you state your opinion and its negative to what some one else said; everyone feels they need to add IMO or IMHO. Of course its my opinion, I'm the one punching the keys. This is what I experienced when I auditioned the equip. and here's my opinion. Don't feel like I'm knocking what you own, it just doesn't work with what I own. I think before someone can rate a post, they should state who they are(screen name) and why the negative rate. Stop hiding in the closet and come out lets talk about why we disagree. Hey its probably something as simple as different cables. Tire I think I'm going to give you a negative rate cause you used martin logan in a sentence. Sorry in a mood swing today. Pete
