I love Maggies, I dislike MLs.
Martin Logan vs. Everything
I have a pair of Martin Logan 13a. to me they sound incredible. The thing is I also like to spend time at hi-fi shops , whether they be brick and mortar or or online and it seems like those dealers think the Martin Logan are the weak Link in my system…
I’ve listened to Speakers twice and even three times the price and they don’t sound any better to me but I do have my room treated and everything is tuned just in my liking. my personal opinion is that Martin Logan has spent years perfecting what they do with the electrostatic speaker, and that it’s just not financially feasible for some of these smaller companies to try and do the same so they have traditional box speakers, which are great, but to me not as great as the Martin Logan .
so how wrong am I ? Fight me.

Believe me, Martin Logan makes great sounding speakers. Brick and mortar like all businesses stay in business with sales. Sure they are going to weak link you. Your ears tell you all you need to know. They are unique to you, and no to people hear exactly alike. Enjoy those great MLs. I wish I could afford them. |
Great post! A dream came true for me when I was able to afford my Primaluna EVO 100 integrated. Brought my system to a whole new level of enjoyment. I could imagine your thrill, getting the MLs. I wish I had a pair. But, my DIY speakers are very good, better than the B&W by a long shot. I heard at Best Buy at Magnolia when there was one. The Martin Logans out classed everything else with a superior delivery of dynamic accurate sound. The MLs sound better than my DYIs, but they should. |
I’ve owned ML’s for 35 years. I’ve also owned Open Baffle speakers, which are a different type of dipole speaker. We all have our speaker preferences. We don’t need to attempt to justify why we choose what we do. Simply enjoy them, and allow others to enjoy their choices. It’s a big audio world with something for everyone. Be happy you found something that appeals to you. Case closed. And @technomagus I also own Spires and have them in a smaller room. I feel zero need to upgrade. |
