Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be?

Better than they have ever been.  Anyone disagreeing is looking at the old models with nostalgia goggles.

Good to hear...

I owned the10T’s for many years and found them very particular with certain amps. Also had Vandersteens, wound up selling the t’s and kept my 2ces. Nothing like them. I listened to ML’s but never got the appeal. Just me.

@audiosaurusrex  Yep.  The Vandersteens have a truth about them that is difficult for most other brands to match.  You just enjoy the music and forget about the gear.

I have the older Monoliths with the "newer vapour deposited clear coating" esl panel which is what the Neolith use. And nothing ML makes save for the Neolith comes close. The linear power supplies and xovers are far superior quality to the newer stuff. quality poly caps, air core chokes ect ect. so is the "exterior" build quality. The ESL panels on the old ones were held by a frame solid, not flapping around in the breeze (say goodby to solid imaging) useless to spike these new ones they still flap, they need a support bar ala Quad https://www.stereophile.com/images/717quad.bac.jpg
