Martin Logan Summit and Classical music.........


I owned Innersound Eros MKII stats but have a hard time recalling an impression I would feel comfortable sharing with my dad who seeks new speakers. As he is almost exclusively a Classical music lover would the Summit be a good speaker to check out? Just want to know if I should bother telling him to audition. Audio Research Pre, Esoteric CD, VPI Scoutmaster, Classe mono amps in the chain. thanks

The key to electrostats is a great tube amp (I just got a new McIntosh MC275 MkIV for my CLS's and it sounds even better than my Levinson 23.5) After that, all music sounds totally real.

Summits make using such a tube amp (as the Mac) easy since they provide the SS amp for the bass, so it's pre-biamped so to speak.

Add to that some really clean SS preamp and SS phono pre and you're in biz.
