Martin Logan: They finally did it

Hello Everyone,
This topic is getting more and more interest and I got to speak out for my two pairs of SL-3. I got to say you really need good equipments with Martin Logan Speakers I started off with Marantz MonoBlock (MA 500) now up to EAD PowerMaster 2000. Everytime I made an upgrade on the amp the bass just got more and more tighter and quicker. So during these upgrades I have upgraded my cables and also have improve the speaker performance. What I am trying to say here is, these speaker are great but make sure you are running the very best thing for it. I wish some day soon I will be able to upgrade to a pair Ascents. but in the meantime I really enjoy my Martin Logan Speakers. They are one of the best speakers out there what won't break you wallet.

Pctower: I listened to the Vandersteen 5's a few weeks ago and must suffer from your hearing anomaly as well. The only problem that I can see is setup since the subs are contained in the same space as the rest of the drivers. The dealer however had done a very nice job of it.

Appreciate your validation. In looking over my previous post, I was harder on electrostatics than I should be. ML has a long-standing, well deserved, high reputation and I have not heard any of the new models. I just get a little upset with posts that contain judgmental, blanket statements about deficiencies in those who do not agree with the post's author.

hello,
This post was not started to start a war. It is simply to display opionins and findings that we have all had. I like Logans and Levinson the next guy will like Krell and B&Ws everyone has diffrent taste and when your in high end audio that is to be exspected. Thats why there is so many diffrent audio manufactures. Enjoy your gear for what it is and because you like not because 10 people said its the best. Your ears are the boss. Opinions are great. its good to get alot of them when shopping but when it all comes down and you pop in your cd you are the one who needs to be happy. ENJOY

Lev335, what size room do you have these in? I currently have aerius i but whould like to go with the Asscents very soon if they will work in my room which is 17'w x 15'd with cathedral ceilings. How close can you have them to the back wall? ( measuring from the woofer module )thanks in advance.
PS...If you arent' doing anything with that old 380 I will be glad to keep it warm for you!
