New speakers from Martin Logan, Ethos $6495

I was just looking around at speakers and saw the new Ethos on Martin Logan's site. I have not heard anything about them but they seem very similar to the spire but use a smaller 8" woofer and an 8" passive radiator.
The panel is smaller and only 9.2 inches wide compared to the Spire's 11.3" panel.

It seems like an odd price point/model for them. I would think it would eat into the Spire sales. But I guess it could sound a lot better than the Vantage which always seemed to have bass issues to my ears (port noise/boom).

Anyway here is a link, they look very nice.

I remember when $3400 would but Requests new. ML has been less bang for the buck since then IMO

I certainly don't want my woofer to act in "unnatutal ways". That's a job for my tweeter. ;-)

the dsp has nothing to do with the short comings, it is far more accurate way of controlling the excursion to the Bass driver , even the Best Velodyne , and JL audio use these and accelerometers to monitor this, this is why this new reference series is so much better than the past models.
