Why so many problems with martin logan?


I have owned 8 pairs had problems with allmost all of them .3 pairs where deliverd in damaged or missing parts ,or wrinkled pannels.Or cosmetic damage.I like the sound but have found a better way so Iam glad I have moved on .Since I havent owned M/L the other speakers I have purchased worked right out of the box with out many calls to my dealer and martin logan .Iam talking about there new models .Just wondering if others have had these problems ?Thxs for your imput.JK

Yes Iam crazy and have owned this many logans .I have nothing to prove if you dont believe me .Thats your problem .The damage martin logans where not damaged by shipping .Dont see how the parts could just fall off the speaker and out the box.lol .And wrinkled pannels are a design problem martin logan admited it was having ,problems with the lexan spars.The best speaker I purchased from them was my CLS2Z only took 3 months after I ordered for them to arrive.And the descent sub had no issues.I knew I would upset some with this post but this is my experance with martin logan .Yours maybe diferant
Marakanetz why reply if you have nothing to offer ? Seems like you are wasting your time and ours :)
LPG fake thread ??I have owned this many pairs ask university audio in Madison WI. What I hate is people who reply to post with nothing usefull to say just to bash the poster .This is my honest experance with martin logan .
All my martin logans where purchased new from a dealer .The problems where not shipping related .I dont mean to offend happy logan owners just letting others know my experances with there products .1 time after many complants about my Prodigy,wrinkled pannels ,cosmetic dammage ,screws missing bolt holding the binding posts was missing .They took care of me after a month and 1/2, also sent me a shirt and 3m dust cloth .So nice of them .JK
Maybe people don't believe your post because you SAY you have had 8 pairs. Come on, why would anyone buy a speaker 8 times who has had nothing but problems???? I would think after a couple of bad speakers, no more than 3 you would say enough is enough, but to buy 5 more pairs that doesn't make any sense. You also say that the damaged Logan's wasn't by shipping so I guess that means all 8 pairs that you bought were packed damaged?? If this was the cause and a practice Martin Logan does do, don't you think this would have been talked about a lot here and on other message boards?? 8 pairs?? If they were all bought from the dealer wouldn't he take them back?? Or did all this happen after they were in your system for a period of time?
