Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten dajango L

I am staying with all McIntosh ...what speakers do you feel are a good match with the MC501s ....any suggestions ? 

The Marten Django L is a superior speaker to the Sophia 2 and The
Sophia 3 for that matter.......
and the person who likens their drivers to drum cymbals needs
to simply go hear a pair to see he is absolutely smoking something
he should not be........

I do think you have way too much amp for either of those speakers
for that size room......and I think you could do far better than McIntosh in terms of overall performance.....but if you're keepin em.....keep em.....

The Django L's are some of the best bargains out there in the 9K new range.......I have a dealer friend who just brought in a pair after exhibiting with them at Rocky Mountain with his Zesto gear......I've heard them and they sound absolutely amazing.......

How is the low end on the djangos L ?

You should treat them as you would a good tube amp, as the output transformers are the limiting factor to how nastier load they can handle.

I would say look for speakers that don’t dip below 4ohms and have less than -30 phase angle with that 4ohm frequency.

As in the Martins case above at 65hz a combination of 5ohms with -45 degree phase angle could represent an EPDR load to the amp of around 2ohms. And 65hz is the power area needed for bass.

EPDR= equivalent peak dissipation resistance
Wilson Alexia’s have an EPDR at 65hz of .9ohm!!!!!!!! Notice the simiarlity with the Danjo graph at 65hz?
