Sub For Martin Logan Aeon's

I forgot to add that the HGS-10 blended well with the Aerius i's, but the Descent just blows the HGS-10 into the weeds in terms of authority, depth and even tightness. Oddly, they seem to have blended about as well - not what you'd expect.

Remember that I am cmoparing the HGS-10 to the Descent not because I think they are comparable in the market, but because I own them both and can play them alternately. (The HGS-10 normally lives in my office with the old B&K system and my ProAc Tablette 50's.)

I use a ML Depth with my SL3. It replace a 12 inch Velodyne F-series. I found the Velodyne to be boomy and drew way to much attention to itself. The depth will as low as the Velodyne and play louder, but it's seamless, tight, and very fast. My dealer told me that the only difference between the Depth and the Descent is 3db of output and $1000.00. I would recommend either of the ML subs or perhaps a REL. I have never owned a REL, but a friend uses one with Maggies. I'm not sure which model it is, but it is very good as well.

Martin Logan Depth is the one to get. I think around $1700. I have M/L Odyssey's and have never heard anything work with them better. That includes all Velodyne, MK, Rel,Sunfire Etc.....

The Depth uses three 8 inch woofers and has a 300 watt amp peaking to 400 watts. The Descent has three 10 inch aluminum woofers and a 400 watt amp peaking to 800!!The Descent is a larger cabinet. Martin-Logan recommends the Depth if using more than one for home theater otherwise the Descent is the preference. Steve

Actually the depth is 350W, 500 Peak.

For a 3x8 it is incredible. But I agree the extra 1000 isn't for just 3db. The 10's are much fuller.
