whoever said oddyssey doesnt have good customer service has never called or met Klaus.   Hes about as solid as they get as far as helping with anything audio related.   Go check out his shop, he also sells symphonic line if you wanna hear some rea... 
Upgrade the projector or projector screen?
Maybe he wants white screen vs gray..  That way the  whites are white and the colors are vivid.  Grey is gonna dull it down a bit on colors. Grey is good if room has ambient light, but you get duller colors and off whites. my jvc dla 4k upshift pr... 
Looking for Recommendation for AVR
I tried  4 returned 3... one marantz, one nad , one anthem (demo), and an onkyo.  Im just using them for the processor, not the amplifiers.   Surprisingly I kept the cheapest  Onkyo rz730,  has full set of pre amp outs and was only 600 bucks. Adde... 
Sansui717 with 4 Bose 901VI issue (custom stand and subwoofer add on)
I cant see how you could hurt the sound by turning them sideways.  Not my cup of tea, but if you like them horizontal then vertical should be about the same.  The design uses multiple cheap drivers arranged goofy anyways/ 
Outdoor Home Theatre with 7.1 Surround Sound
I like the yamaha pa speakers better than what i own now,  I have a pair of qsc k12.2's and it works great for my garage band in my morton building, and doubles as fronts on a 5.1 speakers on a 200 inch screen.  Would check out JBL control x if yo... 
Have a pair of REL S3 HO and they don't produce enough bass
you answered your own question rerun the arc.They are probably less efficient than your svs and/or input voltage might need to be a little higher to get same sound levels. 
Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers?
I used to have tannoy windsors, they are really good speakers.Bass solid not boomy and mile wide soundstage.   In my home theater i built 6 diy subs with 15 inch tannoys that we took out of a church, they do wicked bass in big 8cubic foot enclosur...

Its cuz the new ones have amazons alexa built in and blue tooth.LOL    No idea why so many, for sale.   I bought a non working set of wilson cubs cheap  and put gorlich drivers in them (which are kinda spendy drivers) and they are pretty amazing. ... 
Any avantgarde acoustic owners?
I demoed the duo's and was amazed, the room we wanted to use them in was just a little too small.  They sure throw a big soundstage.  If i didnt already have 2 full sized setups i would not hesitate to get a pair.My others are Dunlavy SCiv in our ... 
If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you.
Its not possible for a 1/4 transmission line speaker using  8 inch driver and tweeter in a small box to be 101 db... something is not exactly right.Or they have invented a new driver. which i doubt based on they only had one pair in stock to sell ... 
Best power amp for Martin Logan Expression 11a
odyssey amplifers can run them if limited budget,   most krell, pass labs, are not gonna shut down at 1 ohm.  Vintage soundcraftmen or crown amps are also good. 
MMG sub hookup....
preamp to via rca subwoofer, then rca from sub output (crossed over) into your amp. 
Electrostatic pros and cons.
Ive had several ML's over the years, the key to getting the most sound is room placement out from the walls and having a high bias current amplifier.   Its amazing how same speaker can sound on the same amplifier just by playing with the bias.  No...
