    I am getting sound from the rears when in Stereo

    I recently, tonight, upgraded my mains to Martin Logan Aerius i speakers. I noticed that when I played a cd while in stereo mode, the rear speakers were on. This has never happened before.
    When running my Energy Veritas 2.1's, this did not happen. I know that my speaker wires are set up correctly.

    My system is the Outlaw 950, 2 Parasound 855HCA's, Martin Logan Aerius i's for mains and Energy Veritas everywhere else. The Martin Logans are 4 ohm speakers while everything else is 8 ohms. Could this be confusing the Outlaw? I have my ML bi-amped. So for the left speaker I have one channel coming from amp A and the one channel coming from amp B. Could this be messing things up?

    Please help.

    Are you sure you weren't in a DSP mode like pro logic II or DTS Neo ? That's about the only thing I can think of to explain it.

      Maybe your new ML's are giving you a 3D soundstage that you've never heard before! To be sure, recheck your wiring however, what you've described for a hookup should be just fine. You might want to just try it out without bi-amping to make sure you have the "plumbing" correct then take the next step to bi-amp and figure out what's going on.

      Good luck!

        Thanks guys for the responses.

        It turns out it was a wiring issue. ops: I knew that my wiring was absolutely correct, I had my Energy's hooked up this way. What ended up happening is that on the wall plate where I was not using banana plugs, two of the wires were touching! Once that was remedied, the problem went away. Man, do I feel dumb.

        The ML sound incredible. My wife was very pleased. She loves listening to music and she loves the sound of the ML!
