HI. I have gone through the same situation regarding the Martin logans. Do yourself a favor and audition a pair of Hales Transcendance 5 speakers. They are incredible. Placed porperly, close your eyes and you will feel the music all around you. You will need power though. Good luck.
Are You Addicted to Audio?
I love Martin Logan's I love the sound of their life like images, I can't stop listening to my Aerius i, I seem to like it more then $10,000 non electrostat speakers. Is there any speaker that sounds as life like as a Martin Logan. I want a speaker that can play LOUD for my big band and large scale orchestra music. I was thinking of a Aerial Acoustics 10T or a B&W Nautilus 802 or a Dunlavy Aletha. Which do you prefer for detail, imaging power and punch?
