You never told us which Logqans you want? Also the Bryton and the B&K are not a good match with martin logans. They are both very cold and analyyical sounding.(sorry) Martin Logans are very sensitive to components that offer those qualitys.When I had my Logans I had Aerius i, SL3 and Accents I used Mark Levinson 335 or my new Krell FPB 200c which both sounded very good But I sold the 335 and now own the 200c I cant have them both if I could I would because they both offer very nice things to the logans. Krell used to be very harsh now they are more on the natural side but can still be a bit harsh if you dont properly match wires and other components.7 out of 10 dealers who carry Martin Logans use Krell on them so it is a safe choice. But be very careful how you match your system or you will very unhappy. Best of luck " Stand United"
What kind of power needed for Martin Logans?
This question has been asked in one form or another, but this time I need some specific advice. I listened to a Martin Logan home theater set-up the other day and I'm in love. I am willing to add or change anything to get these speakers into my system. Electronics right now are a B&K Ref-30 pre-pro, Sony 9000ES DVD, and 5ch Acurus 125x5. The Acurus is gone, I know that, but now I have to replace it with something. I have a Bryston 4B-ST that I use for my 2ch system. I can move that over to the home theater and add to it. My home theater room is small, so I will not be buying the gargantuan Martin Logans. A nice set of the smaller ones ($1000-5000 range) will do nicely. So let me have it. Do I go five channel amp? mix and match 2 and 3 channels? monoblocks? Brands? I'd like to keep the amp purchase down to a reasonable number ($2000-$5000). Any advice would be appreaciated, especially from people who are running Martin Logans now. Thanks.
