Anyone heard the MK III Innersound Eros??


Being an avid 'stat fan, I am wondering if anyone has heard this latest incarnation of the Eros, and, how might it compare to Martin-Logan Odyssey?

Imaging, midrange, dynamics, etc.??

I have not heard the MKIII, but I own the MKIIs and can honestly say that I'm ecSTATIC (no pun intended) with them. I compared the MKIIs with the ML Quests, and Requests and the Eros is a much better speaker overall, especially in the bass area. The bass is much tighter, lower, faster and better defined, thanks in part to the transmission line desigen, and crossover amp. The crossover/amp allows you to place the speakers almost against the wall without the resulting thumpy bass, something you can't do with MLs.

Imaging is excellent, soundstage is accurate, and of course, the stat panels bring the music to life -- everytime you listen. You may find the MKIIs on the 'gon for sale, and save yourself a bundle.

To top things off, you can't get better product support than Roger Sanders.

Good luck.

You are right -- the sweetspot is narrow when compared to dynamic speakers. However, what you do hear when you are in the sweetspot is considerably better than what you would hear from the others. I considered it like this -- How often am really listening to music when I am not sitting in the sweetspot anyway? When I am up moving around with "background" music playing, I am not listening critically so it doesn't matter that the sweetspot is narrower than MLs or Quads.
