very very nice setup you get a definite 10! dont forget to come check my gallery out!

jkcheng122  » Jan 17, 2011 12:27 PM

Yes it would but unfortunately my receiver does nit have pre-outs and I wouldn't want to hook up the CLS to the lowly Pioneer receiver.

arkgabi  » Jan 15, 2011 05:11 AM

Nice HT with very nice electrostatic speakers! It would be interesting to hear them in 5.1 or 7.1 mode with uncompressed material..

naturephoto1  » Dec 20, 2010 11:34 PM

Very nice Home Theater and 2 channel system. Particularly like the ARC equipment and the Martin Logans.

jkcheng122  » Dec 20, 2010 05:49 PM

Got a Oppo BDP-93 on the way =)

Spurrier Sucks  » Dec 18, 2010 05:27 PM

Very nice!

prerich  » Dec 18, 2010 12:52 AM

Martin Logan CLS will get a 10 from me every time !!!!

jkcheng122  » Dec 17, 2010 03:42 PM

Thanks, believe me it was bothering the hell out of me too with the old one sitting behind the TV like that.

ejusted  » Dec 17, 2010 02:15 PM

Good job, I dont feel so bad about the center chan now!! :-)

jkcheng122  » Dec 17, 2010 01:46 PM

actually what i did instead is get a new center channel. I need to update the picture. Let me do that right now.

ejusted  » Dec 17, 2010 01:32 PM

Great system, I love the HTPC cawe and the ML's look fantastic. Only thing I might add would be to build a shelf on the wall above the tv for that center channel. I think it would sound better. Other then that A+

Johnny Blaze  » Dec 17, 2010 10:45 AM

Very Nice setup! Great looking screen shots!

jkcheng122  » Dec 17, 2010 02:13 AM

The panels on the Martin Logans have finally been replaced, I am back in audio heaven!

jkcheng122  » Oct 07, 2010 01:27 PM

Receiver and PlayStation 3 actually need to be updated too. I've upgraded to a Pioneer receiver with HD Audio decoding and also the PS3 has been replaced with an Oppo 83

jkcheng122  » Oct 07, 2010 01:25 PM

kareface, I actually switched to a new center but just haven't had the time to update the pics. I'm now using a MartinLogan Encore and it is placed at the same spot but in front of the TV. With a flatscreen I don't have a way of mounting the speaker above the display.

kareface  » Jul 21, 2010 01:02 PM

Your mains are titanic! I'd love to come take a listen to those beasts. You might consider mounting your center above the display. I think it would sound better than it's current position. I did the same with my setup (with the same TV), and I think it turned out well.

B.Hulk  » Jul 21, 2010 12:15 PM

Very nice setup. Awesome screen shots...

pab1219  » Jul 21, 2010 11:23 AM

very nice.

soulfly80  » May 28, 2010 03:03 PM

awesome set up love the electrostatics

wafi  » Apr 14, 2010 12:00 PM

Those ML's give off a dont fcuk with us look! Luv em! Very nice setup. Me likes!

BluBlazer  » Mar 22, 2010 10:22 AM

Nice setup. As mentioned, those speakers are GINORMOUS!!! I like the Ideal Lume backlighting. Might have to try on of those.

jkcheng122  » Mar 17, 2010 06:52 PM

The stereo system belonged to my dad but he passed on and both me and my mom are unwilling to sell the system despite its high-maintenance-ness (made up a word there). So going to get the panels replaced but will take some time. It definitely is music heaven when they run at full potential.

jkcheng122  » Mar 17, 2010 06:50 PM

Martin Logan CLS II, still trying to save up the funds for $1500 to replace the panels that are now unlistenable.

jjmbxkb  » Mar 15, 2010 11:58 PM

What are those speakers? I realize they are Margin Logan, but what are the model? They simply look imposing. Have to agree with your choice of sub. I have a A3-300 also. But again my favorite of your great setup are those main speakers. Just amazing!

VictorQ  » Mar 10, 2010 03:30 PM

Great setup and gear. Good job with the calibration.

jkcheng122  » Feb 22, 2010 06:44 PM

It is, when it's working properly =( The panels on the MartinLogan need replacement and I probably won't have the funds til Fall.

DangeRuss  » Feb 10, 2010 03:56 AM

A very admirable system you've assembled .... Must be quite an experience to listen and view .... Excellent screen shots to boot

Tinman7783  » Dec 04, 2009 06:28 AM

Do u have pics of your surrounds? Great set up!! Love the sub.

djflex40  » Nov 21, 2009 10:41 AM

nice ,,,

edubb5  » May 07, 2009 10:39 AM

Man I no we don't have the same TV but is their a break in time on these Pioneers! My Kuro pro-111fd got great picture but something's look dark to me. It might be because I have been used to LCD brightness. And I'm using that device that come with the TV to calibrate itself. I will try another setting. I sold My 52 XBR4 and got the Pioneer pro-111fd

jkcheng122  » Dec 30, 2008 05:02 PM

http://www.cinemaquestinc.com/ideal_lumesb.htm for the bias lighting.

aburns  » Dec 30, 2008 03:31 PM

Where did you get the bias lighting its awesome.

jkcheng122  » Dec 24, 2008 05:54 PM

tv is pioneer 5020fd

Blove23  » Dec 23, 2008 09:36 PM

I love the Pioneer! That's so Pimp need I say more!

lettucenpico  » Dec 23, 2008 07:59 PM

It's nice, what tv is that?

crobert0247  » Dec 22, 2008 07:31 PM

I don't know what that guy was smoking but it looks gr8!

jkcheng122  » Dec 03, 2008 01:10 PM

i should post some updated pic sometime, did some wire management work behind the setup to make things more tidy.

landman2021  » Nov 26, 2008 03:24 PM

go jets!

jkcheng122  » Nov 14, 2008 01:20 AM

the big speakers actually are not used for the Home Theater, they're strictly for stereo. i didnt win the lottery to get them, they were inherited from my dad who was a audio buff. i'm not handy enough to do in-wall speakers and i seriously doubt they'd sound as good.

mike7478  » Nov 06, 2008 10:00 AM

Lol a perfect example of how I'd want my set up to look... when I win the lottery. Very nice!

Blu Man  » Nov 05, 2008 07:58 PM

Those speakers are incredible! There bigger then the screen. I've always been the type of person who thinks that the screen should look as big as the sound and that the sound should sound as big as the screen. Just me.

jkcheng122  » Nov 05, 2008 04:51 PM

they do sound incredible. unfortunately the panels are in need of replacement and i don't have the $ for it right now.

SupaSweet  » Nov 05, 2008 02:22 PM

WOW those are the size of doors !! they must sound incredible! im in awwwe lol

Johk  » Nov 04, 2008 02:03 PM

Wow, those are huge!

prerich  » Nov 04, 2008 11:41 AM

Wonderful, just ....wonderful! Those are my dream 2 channel speakers! Excellent!
