New Speaker / System Suggestions


Hi everyone,

I am in need of some advice and opinions on a speaker and or possible system upgrade as well. My current set up is a pair of Martin Logan Motion 40 speakers driven by a Yamaha AS2100 integrated. I’m trying to gain more clarity with better dynamics and imaging. After much research the speakers that really look like a possible winner are the Sierra Ascend towers with RAAL tweeter or possibly the revel f206. My question is do you think my current integrated is enough to really let the speakers sing or would something with more juice be needed? Thinking of going separates with a Parasound A 23+ or the standard A21, Rotel 1582 MK2 or even a Cambridge Audio 851 W ( or 851 Azure Integrated ). Any advice and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think you’ve got a great amp, and at over 50 lbs. and the capability to pump 150W into 4Ohms I think you’ll be perfectly fine.  I’m familiar with the Motion speakers, and I think you’ll be very happy with either the Sierras or f206.  Best of luck.

Maybe a pair of Klipsch Heresy III's or IV's.  The Yamaha's warmish tone will mate very well with the highly efficient, dynamic, and revealing Klipsch.

You can gain clarity simply by changing resistors in your amp or preamp.  Start with some Audio Notes.  Vishays will open the sound up more but they are not as musical.  Shinkoh are more emotional sounding.

Happy Listening.
