IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A

I am also tempted to get one as my second system.

Second the idea that you need the best electronics you can get with Martin Logans. They are very transparent and you will hear any money spent or not spent upstream.  They like power too.

I have a pair of 13A they are very good speakers, you can not compare them to box speakers the clarity the expanse is very good. You do need good power to run them and the better your system the better sound.  But this is true for any good pair of speakers, so don't get scared by comments above.Go listen to them.

Go big or go home. Actually, go big at home.
Kingsound King III electrostatic with twin Legacy Audio XTREME XD Subs in 13×23 room. GLORIOUS!

Don’t rook yourself by under-purchasing on performance.

Both reviewed by me for Dagogo.com

(Old thread; maybe someone now can benefit)

Douglas, I had to look away quickly from the gear you have reviewed. Lol

I have been reading some good things about the ARC DAC-9 . But it came out a few years ago already.

But==I do have an itch to upgrade my bluesound streamer/auralic vega dac combo.

What is an awesome combo or two under ..let's saaaay $10,000??

Streaming is really picking up steam for me since I tried Qobuz.

ps..I still love my M-L's.....with carefully selected gear it provides really nice sound. But--to each his own of course.
