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

While ultimately it depends on how they sound to you. However, it also depends on your electronics and how much time you have spent with the Martin Logan. 
 

It would be really helpful to know your components and venue… there is a place under your UserID to create your virtual system. It is easy to attach photos and ID equipment there. This would help us better determine how to help.

 

Just in general, I suspect the Martin Logan’s are more challenging to power and position and perhaps you are not getting the optimal sound from them. They can sound very good.
