Which to keep! Pick one of these two soeakers

Sorry about the typo in the title, I have two sets of speakers and I need to sell one. Of these two, which would you keep or which would you be more likely to consider a better choice? I’ve been running the Spendors for a while and they are very good, very transparent and I’d say their weakness is that they lack low end but I run a sub so it hasn’t been an issue. I just got the ML Ascent’s in a bundle buy of equipment and I’m really liking the looks of them in my space but I am still sure about how flat they are sonically or if they are as good as my Spendors. I’m having a hard time deciding.

1. Spendor S100 circa 1970’s

2. Martin Logan Ascent w/ new ESL panels

Get rid of that Spendor (generic crap, nothing special about it) and keep the MLs. The MLs are a bit too unique/not replaceable.

There are many speakers that can easily best that Spendor in 2023. If you miss the spendor one day, get a Mofi Sourcepoint 10 (which beats the living snot out of that Spendor and you will no longer miss it) or a JBL HDi-3800.

One of them is concentric driver done right and the other is a compression driver/waveguide/horn done right. You will thereby end up with a ML and one of these, i.e., 2 very different designs that do very different things well.
