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

Re: Georgelofi- do you think using a pair of Zero Transformers would make the Marten's easier to drive?

In my opinion the zero’s are an interim band-aid fix for something that can’t drive it properly without them.
I’ve played with them and found that with an amp that IS very capable of doing the job properly, and then inserting them even though they weren’t needed it was a definate step backwards.
Your far better off getting the right amp to start with.

I am staying with all McIntosh ...what speakers do you feel are a good match with the MC501s ....any suggestions ? 
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.......
