Please give the Summits another chance ;--) The ones you heard may 1.) not have been broken in and/or 2.) been driven with a SS amp. They have much cleaner bass than the Prodigys with their built-in SS amps, and if you drive them (only the panels) with the Wolcotts, they should be fantastic.
Because the panels are now computer/mechanically stretched (tighter) they take a bit longer to break in, and even though smaller than the Prodigy panel, put out the same SPL per watt.
Additionally, ML now makes two slightly smaller models (than the Summit) the Vantage and the Vista. They are the same physically but the Vantage has additional bass contour controls.
