Martin logan prodigies

Romin--I also did have a rather quick chance to listen to the prodigies-- But I figured that it was not enough for a thorough investigation. The dealer had them driven by both the bryston and the new classe CAM 350 at 8 ohms and 700 at 4 ohms. As danish, suggested maybe the big Krell was a bit to active to bring the warmth and non-fatiguing sound that the logans are Known for. Furthermore, do anyone know if these speakers can be obtained at a discounted price if so where. The dealer where I auditioned these speakers did not want to move pass 5% the MSRP. I read in an audiogon thread that someone has purchase the logan at 20% discount $8,000.00. Any idea that you might have Danish or Ronin will be very much appreciated. THanks guys.

Patou- If you like I have a pair of 5 week old Prodigy (with Black side rails) and all original packing etc. Email me at amrik@mediaone.net

patou,

i'd look into the newform research nhb645's or r645's. check out their www & the reviews at audioreview. at ~$2250 delivered, w/30-day in-home audition, there'd be lotsa $$$ left over for a sub system... ;~)

Buy the Quad 989's - no contest with the Prodigys - less money - fuller sound - goes low with just the right amoount od balance. Pus these with tubes like the EAR 534 amp or even the mcIntosh 275. Full range electrostats are the way to go.

You might try listening to the new speaker from Martin Logan, the Ascent. I recently heard this on what I considered mid-fi electronics, B&K & Yamaha. The new voice character of this speaker is truly amazing. What I think is more amazing, is its price, $4,000. These speakers would be a great match for the new Jeff Rowland model 10 or 12. These solid state amps will not only provide great Mid range & high end performance but will really give you performance at the lower octaves as well. If you combine the price of the JRDG amps with the reduced cost of the speakers then it becomes a more cost effective match. Or maybe consider a used JRDG model 8ti. You might do that package around $11,000, not much more than the speakers you are considering. But the sound will be angelic. Good Luck
