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

What about Sonus Faber Homage or Cremona they might match well sound wise with the McIntosh MC500's.

The big'ish flagship ones I looked at have very hard to drive low bass similar to the Martins.
Just go into Stereophile and look at the impedance v phase graphs of all the speakers they have reviewed. And look for something like the 4 I posted 2 posts back.

His Mc's have autoformers built in for 2 ohms,4 ohms or 8 ohms loads, shouldn't they be able to handle the Homage or Cremona ?

I use Mc501's with Sophia 2's in a room similar to yours. I also have Mac amps driving the matching Wilson center and surrounds. I also use dual JL112 subs in the room. I've gone through tons of speakers and amps and so far, I am digging this combination. It works.
