Martin Logans

Do ML's mate well with tube gear? Specifically Rogue Cronus Magnum with KT90's? Or would it be more beneficial to bi amp, i.e. a bryston 3B or 4B for the woofers and tubes on the electrostats??? I have the chance to get a pair of Martin Logan Aerius i's for a great deal but have already purchased the Rogue but still have the Bryston, so my choices are such. Please help???!!!

Sorry for my bad English. I meant to write "the combination sounded too thin and fatigue".

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.

ML's are very revealing when you get higher in the model range. Never preferred tube gear when I had a set because most tubes have a low s/n ratio, lower powered, and most are single ended.

I would sell the rouge and get a higher current 100+ s/n ratio 200w balanced min SS amp. As stated a few posts before ML love power and current so more is better.
