Yes, I am seeking validation for the possible purchase of Martin Logan Esl 9 classic. I have owned several loudspeakers in the past. VANDERSTEEN 4A's( incredible bass slam) Thiel Cs 3.5 ( transparent and neutral), Apogee Duetta Sig( magical midrange) and Acoustat 2 plus 2(an electrostatic that could rock!). It is the ribbon and electrostatic speakers I have owned that impressed me the most. I listen now to a wide variety of music but I still want a loudspeaker that can for the lack of a better word, BOOGIE!! My budget is 6 grand new or within a couple years old used. Any Ideas my fellow "goners"?
Martin Logan ESL 9 CLASSIC
As I have grown older my music tastes have changed and I am no longer the hard rocker I used to be. I have owned Thiel 3.5, Vandersteen 4a's and Acoustat 2 plus 2's in my younger years and all these speakers rocked!!! They could play popular rock, electronic and hip hop music with aplomb. I am really mesmerized by the BIG and detailed sound electrostatic speakers produce. I am wondering though if these speakers could still rock out on occasion. What do you "goners" think. Any one heard these or owned them?
