Martin Logan Ascent question - Please Help

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?

Just had a panel replaced on an Aerius i which is good. However.....

when I hooked her up, the new panel overpowered the other speaker throwing the balance way off. My dealer feared that that would be the case thus my other speaker gets a new panel tomorrow.

Fortunately, I bought his demos and will now have a 'new' set of speakers two years later.

Bottom line in my experience? Replace panels in pairs.
