Speakers to replace Martin logan Prodigys

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.

The no preamp thing is more of a source/amp impedance thing... so if it worked for the Prodigys, it will work for another speaker.

Just make sure the amp is efficient (and has enough current) for the new speaker. The wolcotts are powerful and will be fine for any monitor that I know of.
