My ML Quest Z's sound great with MIT Z Cord II power cords, Audio Research pre-amp, Classe Audio amps (two DR-8 amps) with Synergistic Research power cords, Classe speaker wire, Oracle Delphi IV/SME345/Grado Reference, YBA CD Integre....
Martin Logans are too damn transparent!
I have a pair of Aerius i and they are pretty much as transparent as the other Martin Logan's. Theres just "less" of the sound in LF and in dyanamic capability. But I've been trying all sorts of electronics with it and I'm not throughly satisfied. I know I love the speakers so their staying. I want a system that sounds detailed airy, precise yet able to sound all the sound on a a referance recording or chesky records cd, yet decently good with most recordings (most of the overly bright pop recordings). I was thinking of getting a Conrad-Johnson Premier 11a amp and Premier 14 preamp with either a Audio Research Cd2 or Classe CDP-1. Any other suggestions of what other people have used to achieve a succesfull system with Martin Logans?
