IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A

I have a pair of 13A they are very good speakers, you can not compare them to box speakers the clarity the expanse is very good. You do need good power to run them and the better your system the better sound.  But this is true for any good pair of speakers, so don't get scared by comments above.Go listen to them.

Go big or go home. Actually, go big at home.
Kingsound King III electrostatic with twin Legacy Audio XTREME XD Subs in 13×23 room. GLORIOUS!

Don’t rook yourself by under-purchasing on performance.

Both reviewed by me for Dagogo.com

(Old thread; maybe someone now can benefit)

Douglas, I had to look away quickly from the gear you have reviewed. Lol

I have been reading some good things about the ARC DAC-9 . But it came out a few years ago already.

But==I do have an itch to upgrade my bluesound streamer/auralic vega dac combo.

What is an awesome combo or two under ..let's saaaay $10,000??

Streaming is really picking up steam for me since I tried Qobuz.

ps..I still love my M-L's.....with carefully selected gear it provides really nice sound. But--to each his own of course.

I own the Aurender ACS10 and the Audio Research DAC 9.  I've owned and listened to several music servers  and the Aurender is the best I've heard.  On top of that it is a CD bit perfect ripper also.  Two (2) terrabyte internal hard drives and it streams also.  The DAC 9 is without a doubt the best DAC I've heard.  The DAC 8 is also pretty darn good, but Randy in Santa Monica Optimal Enchantment convinced me to upgrade.  No regrets.

The music is wonderful.

By-the-way, if it is still posted, you might want to consider the Monolith III Speaker. It has new panels (a $3000) value using their new  panel designs (same as the 15), and electronic crossover.  I've heard the Monolith IIIs vs the 15s and I still prefer  the Monolith III.  Last I saw, they were being sold for $7000

enjoy
