Martin Logans

I don't think the Rogue Cronus will be able to drive the Aerius effectively. Martin Logan's like power to sound their best. Tubes are a great match with electrostats. I am driving a pair of Martin Logan SL3s with an Audio Research Ref 110. I find this a very nice match. But I have found that less powerful amps make my SL3s sound closed in.

How big is your room? The SL3s work really well in my 13x24x9 room. The Aerius are a bit smaller than my SL3s. They may not sound their best in a very large room.

I have listen to Martin Logan Summit X driven by a Bryston combo, i.e. BP-25 pre and 4BSST amp. The Summit surely liked the power of the Bryston and threw a huge soundstage and lots of details. But after approximately 30 minutes my ears started to hurt. The combination was to thin sounded and fatigue. However, I sure that a tube pre-amplifier would have transformed that system into a marvelous one.

I have heard the Martin Logan in an all Jadis set and that sounded very good to me. I don't think the Martin Logan speakers with an active sub need a lot of power. I don't know about the other models.

I ran ML Ascent i with a 100watt Jolida integrated in a 12' x 13' room and it was a good combo for almost all music and volume. But the SS on the bass and Rouge on the panels would probably be even better.
