Martin Logan speakers


Are Martin Logan speakers still considered to be high quality speakers?   (I have an opportunity to buy a used pair of Vistas)   I have an old Audio Research VT130 amplifier.    Would it be a good fit with the Martin Logans?  If not, what would be better, but not outrageously expensive?

I haven't heard the 13A or 15A Expressions yet.

But I do know this about my Montis setup...... Went to 2 Stereo separated REL S3 subs right next to the Montis and tuned them to accommodate the speaker, not overwhealm it.

Have a Krell KSA-200S currently driving the Montis, and with the addition of the 2 RELs, full bodied sound that seems like it would cost four times as much to achieve.

I wouldn't buy too old a Martin Logan speaker.
They are very reliable recently and you can get some great deals on ones that aren't too old. I had A TUBE AMP for 5 years on a set of ML ESLs. Sweet sound, but nothing like Krell amp with my tube preamp combo.
