Martin Logan: They finally did it

I have owned a pair of aerius and sl3s the bass was better in the sl3s. Well I was going to buy a pair of revel gems but I decided to give logan one more chance. I sold my sl3s and bought the Ascents wow they finally have a speaker that the bass intagrates with the panel. I compared them to the request and they sound better.(the revels are still better and my first choice but I didnt want to have to buy a sub). I was wondering what other peopl think of the new Martin Logan line? Thanks for your input

Ligi --- For the over 30 years, I always have believed that my obsession with this hobby was due in part to the pretty good hearing ability I thought I had. Now because of your post I must reevaluate this belief. The integration between the subwoofers on my Vandersteen 5s and the upper drivers appears to be seamless. If my hearing were not defective, as you point out, this would be quite an accomplishment for Richard Vandersteen, because Peter Moncreif has said that the Vandy 5s are as transparent as electrotastics.

I used to own the SoundLab A-1s, and I am not impressed with the inherrent limitations of electrostatics, compared to a multidriver, cone-based system such as the Vandy 5s. However, I now know that my hearing is defective, so my opinion should be disregarded.

Appreciate your validation. In looking over my previous post, I was harder on electrostatics than I should be. ML has a long-standing, well deserved, high reputation and I have not heard any of the new models. I just get a little upset with posts that contain judgmental, blanket statements about deficiencies in those who do not agree with the post's author.
