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?

Sorry I can't comment on the Vistas.  But...I have a friend with M-L Montis with a 16 tube AR amp and I've never heard M-L ESLs sound as good. Great match!
I have listened to the M-L Montis in a VERY large room with cathedral ceiling.  Because of the room size we sat farther from the speakers than in most installations and experienced a much wider sweet spot. As has been said here so many times, so much depends upon the space in which you listen.
