Classical music, symphony AND planar speakers


Does anyone like this combo? ie Martin Logan, Magnepan, $5 k or less?
Maybe it is the same person with a different name on several other forums that says they don’t sound good together, IDK

OTOH I have heard that solo acoustic?instruments, voices, and small groups are rendered well or with a distinct realism.

I have a pair of Quad 2905’s and an ASR Emitter II Exclusive amplifier. This combination has worked well for me. The lower frequency range on the Quads 2905’s makes them worth considering, though the 57’s are legendary for there tone. I like chamber music most of all.
frogman, there were some other’s who did modifications with the 57’s, can’t remember who they were but yes, seems like many wanted to achieve that bliss. I turn 58 on the 29th, 1978 seems like yesterday.
I like my Quad 2905’s because of the bass panels. It has that consistency of planar all the way. I’ve heard of folks successfully integrating subs with room correction but I’m a skeptic at heart.
Mark Levinson built stacked Quad 57’s with lower frequency panels. This would be worth looking for but still costly by today’s standards.
