The Martin Logan speakers are without doubt the best imaging and most clear speakers I've ever listened to. I am amazed at the clarity of femaie voices, Doobie Brothers and Eagles harmonies, and acoustical guitars. Paired with the Martin Logan 700w subwoofer, these speakers handle everything I've thrown at them from Beethoven to 5 Finger Death Punch, Patsy Cline to Lita Ford with aplomb.
That said, they need a lot of amplifier horsepower. Martin Logan states 20-300 watts, but I wouldn't drive them with less than 200w. I'm using a Carver M1.0t (200w/channel), and I'd hate to use less.
To get the best imaging, speaker placement is critical. One inch can change things immensely. Martin Logan's instructions in the manual are clear and spot on.
I have been thoroughly enjoying working my way through my CD collection, and for many selections, it's like I heard them for the first time. Now if only my turntable would get back from the restorer...
HP Envy 4500 e-All-in-One Printer: With built-in Wi-Fi, this e-all-in-one printer provides a wireless connection to your network, so you can print, copy and scan with ease. HP ePrint and Apple® AirPrint let you print from your enabled mobile device.
After a pair extremely poor HP printers, I'm pleased to say that this one is working quite well with a Linux PC, Windows 7 notebook, Android phone, and an old iPhone. The price was right, and it was easy to set up on a wireless network.
2 drawbacks that keep it from 5 stars. It was bloated with preinstalled HP apps. It took about an hour to uninstall them. The second is that it takes up quite a bit of real estate. I do concede that is typical for an all-in-one printer/scanner.

I've had excellent results so far. I've used this on a Windows 8.1 notebook, and then transferred it to a Magiea Linux desktop with no problems at all. The Linux machine immediately recognized and mounted it. Money well spent.
What's great about it: Very easy to set up, true plug and play on Linux
