Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?

Dude, you've posted this question before and I think you received many good suggestions--including my own personal favorite, the InnerSound Eros--so what's the problem??? If you didn't see all the follow-ups to your thread, they're accessible from "My Page". Rgds, Frank

There is nothing wrong to ask opinion more than one time at a group conference. you have 2 problems: 1. not loud enough and low enough - I cannot comment until I know what kind of gear you are using to drive the ML. 2. no dynamic speakers can give that kind of transparency ML does except those panel speakers like Genesis and Infinity products

So oft these two 'problems' are addressed at the backend when they should be addressed at the frontend. The Logans will go loud enough and low enough with proper source and power. VTL monoblocks or similar quality will drive these with ample amplitude and solid bass(no, not rumbling subwoofer, I have the need for eviction bass, go buy a 24" Hartley). The Logans also fool people because they disperse so well you are unaware of sound pressure levels. They can be real loud, meter them sometime and it will surprise you. Good luck. Satchmo

I own a pair of Martin Logan Quest Z's, and they play plenty loud with excellent bass. I've yet to hear another speaker with the speed and detail of the ML's (I owned a pair of Apogeee Duetta's for several years, very smooth but a power hog and lacked a little on the bottom end). Once you get hooked on the "panel" sound, it's awfully hard to go back to traditional box speakers. My suggestion to you, sell the Aerius' and move up a notch or two in the ML product line. JL
