Martin Logan vs. Everything

I have a pair of Martin Logan 13a. to me they sound incredible. The thing is I also like to spend time at hi-fi shops , whether they be brick and mortar or or online and it seems like those dealers think the Martin Logan are the weak Link in my system…

 

I’ve listened to Speakers twice and even three times the price and they don’t sound any better to me but I do have my room treated and everything is tuned just in my liking. my personal opinion is that Martin Logan has spent years perfecting what they do with the electrostatic speaker, and that it’s just not financially feasible for some of these smaller companies to try and do the same so they have traditional box speakers, which are great, but to me not as great as the Martin Logan .

 

so how wrong am I ? Fight me.

The only answer to the dilemma of "what's best" is to have at least three main systems!

Indeed - and that's how many I have, as I am reluctant to dispose of gear that I really enjoy.

One of my systems is based on original Martin Logan CLS, and they are just magical for reproducing things like strings (but forget about using them for amplified rock music).

An earlier poster indicated that they had a narrow focus and that is true, but I don't keep my systems around for anyone else to listen to - you just set it up so that your chair is in the ideal place relative to the speakers and don't worry about anyone else in the room (except to let them sit in the listening chair for a bit)
