I have owned ML SL3's, Aeons, and Prodigy's. The SL3's are great speakers and I would not hesitate to recomend them (especially at used prices). The Aeons are about on par with the SL3's (actually I like the SL3's better), but the Prodigy's absolutely blow the others out of the water in every way....... then again they cost MUCH more. Be picky about your amplification and front end equipment to get the best out of any ML speakers though.
