Speakers to replace Martin logan Prodigys

This is exactly the price range I will be shopping in next and for a small room too. My two top choices are both dynamic loudspeakers and that may not be your cup of proverbial tea but...

I really like the Merlin VSM-MX and the Acoustic Zen Adagio. You will definatlely want to audition these before purchasing. Especially considering the quality of the speaker they have to replace. The Prodigy is a big shoe to fill.

I am in a small room and thus listen at lower volumes in the nearfield . I have found quite good success with Reference 3 a Di Capo i's , a standmount speaker . I am assuming that you will retain your tube amps , as these speakers really like tubes . Depending on the size of your room , you would be able to move up the line as per your budget constraints .

Now , given that , I have been on a search for a speaker that would give me the stat/panel sound in a small room . The closest that I have found is the new Beryllium tweeter technology .
I have heard the JM Lab version in the Micro Utopia Be which is a standmount . They also offer other versions including the Diva Utopia Be which is a floor stander designed for small rooms . The Micro is in your budget but I am not sure about the Diva . I am talking about new prices as these don't come up used too often .

A less expensive alternative is the new Be Ushers in the Dancer series . They are also using the Beryllium technology in their tweeters and I have heard that they are now offering a speaker with a midrange Beryllium driver as well . Caveat , I have not heard these yet as they are pretty new . The Usher Dancer line comes in at about half price as compared to the JM Labs Utopia .

Good luck and please keep me posted on what you find .

I owned prodigy most other logans buds a local dealer.I would say a edgar horns your best bet.Have spent much time with a well broken in pair of summits with great gear and I thought prodigy sounded better to me but they do need a larger space than summit.

Hey

Sucks you don't have the room for the 'stats

For a smaller space, you're good to want to look into a good pair of monitors. For $5 - $7k you can get some of the best.
Some good choices would be:
* Dynaudio C1
* Sonus Faber Electa Amator (1 or 2)
* Verity Parsifal monitors
* micro utopias

You're going to miss the prodigys bass with one of these... but pick up a used rel strata 3 for $700 or something and you will be in business

I will be using the Wolcott tube amps and running my 581 direct.
The Prodigys sounded great with no preamp will box speakers be the same with no preamp?
I have to ask as I haven’t owned a box speaker in over 15 years so I don’t know what to expect.
Thanks for all the ideas.
