B&W CDM 9 / ML Aeons


I am losing sleep over my inability to make up my mind -- I keep on wafering back and forth. Now I am finding great deals on audiogon for Aeons:-(, which makes things even worse:-) I am building a hometheater/listening area in my basement and for my budget have decided to either go with B&W CDM 9NT L/R or the Martin Logan Aeons L/R, my Theater/Music ratio is 50/50. What am I to do? I thought the B&W's sounded great with Jazz (which is what I most listen to) as did the Martin Logans. The only thing is that I am concerned that if I purchase a mint set of Aeons at a great price I will not receive the warranty. This is my first big audio purchase (big for me). I have a Cinema Grand and AVM20 pre/pro. I am a bit discouraged to buy the B&W due to lack of info on this site, this site is a vast wealth of info and I believe if no one is talking about them there might be a reason. Anyone offer any suggestions -- also, my third choice was DynAudio Audience but I really couldn't get over the laminate finish.

Thanks,

Thanks for all the input -- I guess the bottom line is that I need to audition a little more -- I have been doing Jazz audtions only, I think it is time to audition some movies as well.

Tinman - I will take a look at the 801's:-)

Thanks again!
