I looked at the reviews for the eminent technology ltf8c and I'm interested in those I'm a few hours from you
Thinking about going electrostatic
Got that itch for speakers again I have a pair of Joseph audio pulsar and a pair of talon khorus. I like both but now thinking about martin logan my budget is 3 to maybe 4500 I would look for a used pair can't afford new not to concern about bass I have a talon roc sub. Speakers would be powered with a rotel 1090 and prima luna dialogue pre amp. Have never herd of that type of speaker. Would like to here your thoughts

+1 Jeffbij I had ML13 and upgraded to ML15 driven by a Classé CA2200, really nice combo at least for me (tried Pass Labs, Luxman, Parasound, Krell). They do need a lot of juice! Starting on the ML9, the woofer is much better integrated with the panels. I don’t need a subwoofer with the 15 nor did I with the 13. The type of amplifier will actually change the woofer response as confirmed by ML. One perk: Customer service is top notch. |
Very early on I was also interested in ML. They work wonderfully for singer-songwriter type music, indie, etc. However, they are very bland with electronica/synth pop, which I enjoy. So anything with frequent sharp attacks may not sound so good on MLs. So ML is highly dependent on type of music you enjoy. |
Yep. Best to drive and go listen whenever you can. Worth the extra time and drives. While I own smaller MLs in one system, and Magnepan 3.6/Rs for a short time due to room size limitations. They all can sound quite different. Some members have commented on the "room" considerations, it matters - a lot. My larger 3.6Rs did NOT do well at all in shallow room I had them in years back. The smaller Magnepans sounded much better there instead. Needed a bigger room for larger Maggies, MLs. Eventually trying and demoing speakers at your space is the key to know a lot more. Local dealer has big/smaller SoundLabs old and new, Eminent Technology 8s, 16s, used Martin Logan CLX to compare to, each offer their own type of sound for sure. Whenever I need my electrostatic fix, it’s fun to go in and listen to the large SoundLabs, and the ET speakers too. Heard both many times there. In a smaller room, the ETs are nice. In a large room, with proper amplification, the SoundLabs are my favorites. Was lucky to listen to all of them with my larger QS Mono 120 tube amps too, very nice! |
