Martin Logan Summit, better than Prodigy

Chadnliz -- what you say about the bass of Martin Logan (hybrid) speakers is true, but it's not true of the bass on the Summits. They have just about the fastest, tightest, most powerful bass I've heard anywhere. When you have time to hear a pair, I'm sure you'll agree.

And they have built-in woofer amps this time (finally!) which means you can drive just the panels with a modest tube amp if you want, but without compromising bass performance (as with earlier models) by trying to drive a hybrid full range with a tube amp.

I should go listen again, my regrets if I was wrong, if what you say is true and I am sure it is, then the Summit is a better contender now. I still feel for bang for the buck ET'S are still the way to go.

I just heard the Summits yesterday and they are by far the best speaker ML has produced to date. Bass is tight and fast and the clarity is amoung the best I have heard. They where using Musical Fidelity to drive them, which was a very good match for these speakers. I have heard the ET and they are damn good, but these are much better, but the cost could be a major factor if ML and or dealer doesn't discount these. They are however coming out with a smaller version of this by Fall, which would be in the 5-6k range.

Can anyone tell me what equipment was used at the CES show where Nsgarch heard the ML Summit speakers or the equipment used at other shows.

Electrostaticman > It might have been a Krell, but I wouldn't swear to it. ML demo's their Statements with the big Krells and I remember thinking "Oh, of course." I can say it wasn't a toobie, which would have been nice.
