Martin Logan: They finally did it

Pstahlman, the Ascents are worlds better than the sl3s @4,400 anything above that will also be better. Also when you by Martin Logans you need to size the panel according to your room size( very important) The new series Martin Logans got the bass correct, They are much more dynamic than the older ones. The sl3s bass is like its not even involved in the music, very sloppy. If you bet the sl3s disconnect the 10" woofer and use a sub and you will then be happy

When I first got them I was far from impressed with the bass. After almost two weeks I love them.

hello,
This post was not started to start a war. It is simply to display opionins and findings that we have all had. I like Logans and Levinson the next guy will like Krell and B&Ws everyone has diffrent taste and when your in high end audio that is to be exspected. Thats why there is so many diffrent audio manufactures. Enjoy your gear for what it is and because you like not because 10 people said its the best. Your ears are the boss. Opinions are great. its good to get alot of them when shopping but when it all comes down and you pop in your cd you are the one who needs to be happy. ENJOY

Ha Ha, I sold my preamp. I have had the aerius and the sl3s and now the ascents my room is 17 x 12 but it is a dedicated listening room. No tv in that rrom just my system my cds and my couch. Your room will work really well for those speakers. I had called Martin Logan prior to buying the sl3s and they said they would work really well in my room. Your room is even better than mine. The farther away from the walls the logans are the better they sound. Mine are about 44" off the back wall to the front of the panel. Good luck you will be blown away if you get rid of the aerius and go with the ascents. I was blown away when I went from the sl3s to the ascents. Email me I can get them a little cheaper than you I get a little discount through my dealer. Let me know
