I recently sold my SL3's and went back to the box (Dunlavy SCIV-A). I was happy with the ML albeit I felt I needed more midrange and better bass. The soundstage and clarity of the ML SL3's are great but they need to be placed right to enjoy their potential. I have listened to the ascents and IMHO, was not different compared to the SL3's. The Prodigy's are in a different league--better bass, more clarity and the "plastic sound" of the lower models is not there, but the return is not that great with the step-up due to the huge difference in price.
