Martin Logan: They finally did it

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!

Ha Ha, I sold my preamp. I have had the aerius and the sl3s and now the ascents my room is 17 x 12 but it is a dedicated listening room. No tv in that rrom just my system my cds and my couch. Your room will work really well for those speakers. I had called Martin Logan prior to buying the sl3s and they said they would work really well in my room. Your room is even better than mine. The farther away from the walls the logans are the better they sound. Mine are about 44" off the back wall to the front of the panel. Good luck you will be blown away if you get rid of the aerius and go with the ascents. I was blown away when I went from the sl3s to the ascents. Email me I can get them a little cheaper than you I get a little discount through my dealer. Let me know
