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!!

Pardon the introduction.. Sir what do you use as a center channel and do you have surrounds????

You mentioned you had B&W then Martin Logan.. What B&W's did you have and part two is what Logans did you replace the B&W with...
Thanks Dlwask
As I had mentioned I would be using N802's as mains against Aeon's or Ascents... any thoughts of this "matchup"?.. The 805's would be the surrounds..I don't know how the 805's vs Scripts would be do you?
Thanks willhitx!!!
But when you mentioned that I probably wouldn't need a center channel... might sound dumb but wouldn't I be missing alot during movies?
Thanks Again willitx!!!!
I appreciate the clarification on the center channel. Have you heard either the Scripts or Fresco's.... "possible surrounds"
Thanks Pmwoodward!!!!!
Another vote for the ML's I will take your advice to check out the Electrostatics or Dynamics site.
