Where is this " see a ton of Martin Logan speakers for sale at about $1500."
I just see 1 page of assorted ML’s? There is a handful of lower end entry level models, is that a "ton?"
I picked up a pair of Theos not long ago, when there wasn’t any listings for them. There is a pair right now for a REALLY good price.

Perfect for someone like myself, who is just curious about the ML sound in their setup. Great speaker for the money. The seller has dropped price a couple of times.
"They are hard to drive because of their impedance dip in the treble so you need a superamp that can drive sub 1 ohm loads in the treble but if you can manage that then they are worth the time and effort to get one but you will lose some body to the music because of their electrostatic nature."
All that stated above may be "technical rule" on paper, but subjectively, they sound fine on both my $250 Receiver from 2002 and my 70 watt tube amp. They are not hard to drive.
What is missing is the lowest bass, but subs take care of that. I could live with the ML sound, but it would be the current Renaissance/Impression level $$.
Going back to my sealed cabinet Operas. Anyone ML curious? Perfect gloss black-beautiful to look at and hear.
