How do the Martin Logan Ascents compare to the


Older Martin Logan SL3s and ReQuests ? Do they sound better than the SL3s, better than the ReQuests and how so ? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

I personally like the Requests and SL3s. The new Martin Logan line has the "force forward" technology. It makes room placement easier by cancelling the ill effects of 1/4 wavelength peaks and nodes. It's a bit more dynamic than early bass designs. You can read more about it on their website. When they did this they reduced the panel size for the replacement model speaker. While the bass technology may be a significant benefit for some, I prefer the larger panels. This is really a matter of personal preference, as there are certainly merits to the new bass system.
