Martin Logan Owners...Why should I?

Fellow Audio Lovers,
I currently own B&W speakers... 805's used in a stereo setup, I am looking to add to my system to incoporate home theater "5.1", I was going to add N802's as mains and a center channel HTM 1 or 2 not sure on that WHEN a friend suggested instead of adding to my B&W collection I go Martin Logan. He suggested Aeon 1's at minimum if not Ascent 1's... for center a Fresco or a Cinema 1, and maybe Fresco's for the rear surrounds... My question is MAYBE someone on Audiogon has "been there done that" already and can give some advise... I will use the system mostly to listen to music say 90/10... My musical tastes vary... You might say go listen to them and decide for yourself...good answer BUT for me... a side by side demo isn't going to happen...I haven't found a dealer that has both..some input from Audiogon readers is important..As I started this thread I stated why should I?? TELL ME PLEASE!!

because you find the sound of electrostatic speakers special? that's why i bought mine. i never heard such clarity. room size is an important factor when deciding which speaker to get.

Owned B&WS and most models of logans ,the logans are better sounding than the B&Ws but I found horns and fostex fullrange driver systems to be much better than both,Have had other B&W and logan owners say the same.Have a good friend still using logans he has theater and 2 pair cls2z plus 2 descent subs,krell mono amps lexicon mc12 pre nice system but even he is thinking of going with a fostex speakers system
