I agree with those suggesting optimization can be a big factor You've had one for decades and they tend not to be too particular on set up ESL's typically a different story I would guess the Martin Logans have greater potential for realism, accuracy, esp for seated listening in the sweet spot
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
