Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten dajango L


I have narrowed my selection to the two speakers Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten django.  I currently run all mcintosh mc 500 amps and I also need a speaker where I can match with a center speaker . I haven't heard any Martens speakers so how will they compare to the wilsons ? My room is 14 x 20 stereo/home theater room....I listen from acoustic rock to Pearl Jam mostly from my VPI turntable ....any input would help before I pull the trigger budget around 5k give or take .....thank you

The Marten Django L is a superior speaker to the Sophia 2 and The
Sophia 3 for that matter.......
and the person who likens their drivers to drum cymbals needs
to simply go hear a pair to see he is absolutely smoking something
he should not be........

I do think you have way too much amp for either of those speakers
for that size room......and I think you could do far better than McIntosh in terms of overall performance.....but if you're keepin em.....keep em.....

The Django L's are some of the best bargains out there in the 9K new range.......I have a dealer friend who just brought in a pair after exhibiting with them at Rocky Mountain with his Zesto gear......I've heard them and they sound absolutely amazing.......
The low end on the Django L's is absolutely fantastic......in a 20x16 room, it was plenty and the Django XL's would have overpowered it.....of course your taste in music might affect that judgement......I am just not inclined toward the bass heavy at all......
If what you are saying has any reality attached to it, then the MBL 101E must be the most metallic sounding speaker on earth.......also, any vintage Apogee cannot possibly sound musical.....

Drivers are made of hemp, paper, plastic, carbon fiber, woven products of all exotic variety, even wood products.....they are made of metal, metal ribbons, folded metal, mylar with magnets......tweeters of berillium and coated with crushed up diamonds (wow, that must sound like someone working in a mine LOL)

The material of the driver has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what it projects into the listening room......

As beautifully simplistic as your wine glass versus pillows and cymbals analogies are, they are simply fantasy...........you need to go out and do some listening and when you are finished I hope you realize that speakers don't consist of apparatuses actually STRIKING the driver..like a gong.........LOL
Missioncoonery,

Apparently, Shandorne's comments made their way to Marten.....
They've announced they are going out of business since there is
no way anyone is going to want to listen to a speaker that sounds
like the lid of a trashcan......

no.....you cannot argue with stupid.....

LOL
