The low end on the Django L's is absolutely fantastic......in a 20x16 room, it was plenty and the Django XL's would have overpowered it.....of course your taste in music might affect that judgement......I am just not inclined toward the bass heavy at all......
Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten dajango L
I have narrowed my selection to the two speakers Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten django. I currently run all mcintosh mc 500 amps and I also need a speaker where I can match with a center speaker . I haven't heard any Martens speakers so how will they compare to the wilsons ? My room is 14 x 20 stereo/home theater room....I listen from acoustic rock to Pearl Jam mostly from my VPI turntable ....any input would help before I pull the trigger budget around 5k give or take .....thank you

George what speakers do match the phase of McIntosh ?Here are just some in the same’ish price range class that the OP mentioned, from Stereophile impedance v -phase angle graphs that transformer coupled amps like push/pull tubes and McIntosh should have an easy time with. There are many many more, it’s all about doing your homework, understanding what amps are capable of doing by their measurements/topology, by reading about them and understanding graph of speaker measurements. http://www.stereophile.com/images/416Van7fig1.jpg http://www.stereophile.com/images/714R208fig1.jpg http://www.stereophile.com/images/713YGS13fig01.jpg http://www.stereophile.com/images/615KEF2fig01.jpg Cheers George |
Clearly, not everyone can hear the difference nor can they be expected to understand how ultra light rigid cones might behave differently from soft fabric or paper/pulp or "intrinsically damped materials". For those mentally challenged, imagine a wine glass versus a pillow - which one will ring most when you tap it - extreme example of course. |
If what you are saying has any reality attached to it, then the MBL 101E must be the most metallic sounding speaker on earth.......also, any vintage Apogee cannot possibly sound musical..... Drivers are made of hemp, paper, plastic, carbon fiber, woven products of all exotic variety, even wood products.....they are made of metal, metal ribbons, folded metal, mylar with magnets......tweeters of berillium and coated with crushed up diamonds (wow, that must sound like someone working in a mine LOL) The material of the driver has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what it projects into the listening room...... As beautifully simplistic as your wine glass versus pillows and cymbals analogies are, they are simply fantasy...........you need to go out and do some listening and when you are finished I hope you realize that speakers don't consist of apparatuses actually STRIKING the driver..like a gong.........LOL |
