Martin Logan's Prodigy


I recently auditioned the new Prodigy by Martin Logan. Despite reading 4-5 different reviews on this speaker that reported an impressive bass section with the two 10-inch woofers, I found the low end to be somewhat muddy and unimpressive. However, the demos were done with amps no more than 200 watts into 4 ohm.

The reviews indicate a relatively long break-in period which, as Stereophile reported, greatly improved bass response over several months of use.

I am also thinking of teaming the Prodigy's with a Velo HGS-15 to improve bass response.

Does anyone have any experience with the speaker that they will share? Did you see a great improvement in the low-end over time and what amp are you using? thanks in advance for your input.

I agree with Dave. When I auditioned my pair of prodigy speakers in the show room which was 100% dampened. The sound was a let down. I begain to think I would stay with my martin logan Sequels of nine years. Than I took a chance and bought the pair, took them home and wow. A regular living room, sheetrock, furniture, carpet, rock fireplace and windows the sound was alive and the sweet sounds filled our room. Sometimes you just mustgo with your instincts.
