but why aren't you using the tympani's alltogether?
and isn't that projector in your way when watching movies?

Great system!

Keep them spinning,

I use Martin Logan Summits for the electrostatic transducers that
are considerably better than the midrange and tweeter of the
Magneplanar Tympanis. The electrostatic transducers are better
for several reasons. There is no xover between the midrange
and high frequency range and because of this the imaging is
far superior to the Tympanis. Another area is low level detail
that is simply awesome and transparency is also in a class by
itself. Electrostatic transducers have far less distortion because
of the operating principle. The technique is known as push-pull
operation and is a major contributor to the sonic purity of the
electrostatic concept due to its exceptional linearity and low
distortion. Since the diaphragm of an electrostatic speaker is uniformly
driven over its entire area, it can be extremely light and flexible.

As for the projector, it is not blocking the screen because the
seating is raised up and the view is perfect. With the projector being
located in a straight line with the screen the picture is sharper
and brighter.
