Thinking of a Schiit Freya + and Vidars, to Power Martin Logan ESLs

I just bought a pair of Martin Logan EM-ESL's. They definitely throw a nice soundstage and image. Not bright to me, as I don't like a rolled-off sounding speaker. Deeper bass than I expected, but a little midbass shy. Not bad though; just not hyped up, to better blend with the panel. So far, I'm using the ESL's with a modded (capacitors) Schiit Saga V1 preamp, into a Adcom GFA-5400. A Sony UBP-X1100ES into a Schiit Bifrost MB is my primary source. But, my TV sound is patched in too. Oh, I just received an Aragon 2004 MK ii amp. That gets hooked up this weekend. As to Martin Logan and Schiit, everything plays nice together. Relaxed and musical. But, I'm not sure "Aegirs" would pair well. Bridged mono Aegir amps don't like low impedances. The amps will shut down, if driven too loud. Schiit recommends Vidar's in those instances. A ML owner, on the Martin Logan Owners Forum, has a full surround system, using 7 Vidar's for his various Martin Logan's. Must be OK. Good luck. |
