I have Martin Logan Aerius's as my front speakers, with a Martin Logan Cinema as my center channel(rears are just small Energy's now). I am using a Denon AVR-1082 for all speakers.
If I upgrade to either 3 200's or a 7100 for the Logan's, should I hear a noticable improvement? Most of my listening is watching TV or music DVD's. Any recommendations as to which may be a better choice? I live in a downstairs apartment, and will probably be getting a Belkin PF40, currently have an older Monster 3500. thanks

I have a friend who seems pretty satisfied driving his ML Cinema with a Model 7100, although his Aeon's are powered by a Classe CA-101. The Classe, like the Model 7100, is rated at 100W/channel at 8 ohms, although it offers 200W/channel at 4 ohms as compared to the 165W/channel of the 7100. Both options (the 7100 and the M200's) would probably be safe choices. My initial thought would be that the M200's might be a slightly better choice, but since the 7100 has just been discontinued and the specs on its replacement (which is due in the next couple weeks) are not available yet, it might be best to sit tight for a week or so before committing either way.

I added M200s across the front and love the change. My Axiom M80ti's are 4 ohm so I'm getting 300 watts from the 200s. I am not familiar with you speakers but the M200 made a big difference in the sound quality of my system.
