Martin Logan Summit and Classical music.........

Summits are great with classical music.. great timber and great coherence. The beauty of the Summits is the fact that most of the fundamental frequencies and the remainder of the harmonic frequencies are all taken cared of by a single transducer.

Pair the Summits with a good tube preamp and a solid Class A amplifier/tube amp, position correctly, get a good source and you're on your way to world-class sound!

Absolutely recommend the Summits!!!

the ML Quest line (Quest, Quest z or reQuest) is a HUGE value on the used market. You'll have to have better amplification with these compared to the new MLs like the Summits, which have integrated class D amps for bass module, but when properly driven, the Quest series is awesome.. The panels are HUGE compared to the Summits and much more affordable.

If money is no object, Summits are OK too.. (ha! had to jab Joey V a little bit...)

Good Luck

I once heard a system of ML's smaller units , Accent I believe.with a CJ tube setup .
With classical music it was flat and dull. Though You may have better luck.

Hey all I see this thread got started back up....
Thanks for all replies but we went with the new Vandersteen Wood Quatro's wich were very impressive during an extensive demo. We heard the Sock Quatro's and there is supposed to be not only a huge upgrade in style but also improoved performance.
So anyway as always thanks for everything and wish us luck, my dad gets them installed next week I hope, and I will be out to his place to check them out and attend the NYC Stereo show in 2 weeks with a couple friends from Agon.

Chad,
Congrats on your Dad's new speakers! Vandys are great in my ears also.

Tom,
We love you Mr. Prez!
