Review 1 of 43
Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary: Very disappointed with sound quality. This unit is very good for movire usage and the logic 7 is pretty good too. I do like the bass management features and the adjustable mute function. Overall this would be a great piece of gear IF it sounded good! : <((
I'm very displeased with the dry, sterile sound. I recently replaced it with a Sunfire Theater Grand III. The sound difference is UNBELIEVEABLE. I LOVE IT! Strengths: This unit is VERY adaptable for just about any configuration you want. Weaknesses: Sounds like a Dog Squeeze in the yard!
: <(( Similar Products Used: Sunfire Theater Grand III, Sony TAE-2000 pre-amp

from audiogon.com Summary: I set up a dedicated home theatre about 4 years ago and felt that I had a fairly good set up. However, it was not until I purchased the MC-1 that I got much more from watching movies. The surround effects are excellent and the bass management I feel are stellar. I find that I'm watching movies again, just to hear the difference and they are significant.
My theatre contains;
Lexicon MC-1 processor
Marantz MA-500 monoblocks (X 5)
Atlantic Technologies 370THX speakers complete with 372 PBM Sub
Infinity BU-1 Sub (secondary)
Sony VPH-1272 projector
DVDO Iscan Plus
Draper Shadow Box Clarion with M1300 screen 90"
Sony DVP-S330 DVD
Monster Power HTS-5000 power conditioner
and 5 other components. Strengths: Bass Management
Processing
Set up Weaknesses: no component inputs
Not upgradable Similar Products Used: None as good

from Sound Video Summary: I have had my Lexicon MC-1 Processor now for a couple of weeks. I am finding
myself getting movies that I have watched before just to hear everything I have
been missing. (And it is a lot) This Processor has it all ample Video inputs Ample
Digitial Inputs. All in a sleek unit. The Logic 7.1 is a great benefit even for those
using a 5 speaker system.

Sherbourn 5 1500/a

Bettercables Silver Serpent Interconnects, SVideo And Digital Coax
Audioquest GR8 Speaker Cable Strengths: 7.1 processing. Effects Weaknesses: Manual makes setup more difficult than it is
The THX Preamp specified levels, doesn't
use all amps capabilities Similar Products Used: Carver CT-27V

Review 5 of 43
Price Paid:
$2200.00
from Local Audio Shop Summary: I bought this unit to replace my DEAD GTX-1 The MC-1 added so much more detail to movies that I have already watched. ie. U571 in DTS Logic 7. I heard things that I never noticed before, and a sound field with way more space then I remember. I am am sorry my GTX-1 had to die but, it may be for the better.
