I hate when this happens ......

I was on business last week and I stopped in to visit a very nice high end shop where the people were actually very nice and cordial. I listened to a pair of Marten Django L speakers. ( these were are the XL 's )  and was very impressed at the sound. Musical and dynamic and yet not clinical or sterile. A very well built speaker for about $10,000. I just paid off my Sonus Faber Olympica III's which are not inexpensive.....and did that ; hmmm for a moment. What impressed my was the musicality and no surprise that Sonus Faber does have house sound as all speakers do, but the Marten's just seemed to allow the listener, me, to see deeper in the music. So if any owners of the Sonus Faber's and Marten Django L's care to shed some light I would like to hear from you. I hate when this happens......

douglas nailed it. What you hear at the showroom may not and probable wont sound the same once you get it in your system. IC's and speaker cables can make a huge difference in the existing system that you have.

Power cables and conditioning can also have an impact.

You financed speakers!  Unless you got a special zero interest deal, which speaker twiddled your sonic interest wouldn't be a priority concern for me, financial planning would.

You can bet on it that what you hear in a salon will not sound the same in your room. The Marantz Reference SACD player I auditioned sounds so much better in my room than in the showroom. It gave hints to it's potential but it's in my system that it struts it's stuff. It impressed me so much that I got the matching integrated and couldn't be happier.

As for speakers, you can get a good idea of how it will sound at your place but you should be able to take a pair home and hear for yourself.

All the best,

There is always something better out there, it gives you a perspective, and that's good.

dpphd - thank you for your response but I am not real sure of what you  are getting at. My post was about speakers and not about how I handle my personal finances. Thank you just the same .....
