Martin Logan Don t Rock


I own a pair of Martin Logan SL3 speakers. For vocals they are amazing. For Jazz they are impressive, but for rock they stink. I have decided to look for new speakers which have the clarity and imaging of the Martin Logans, but can play a better variety of music. I am looking to spend $3,000 - $6,000 for a used pair of speakers. My room is fairly large (15'Wide x 30'Deep). I suspect the speakers will have to be fairly large to completely fill the room with sound.

Any suggestions?

Like no money said the 10t's do rock. But what are you using for an amp w/your SL3's. I have tried many amps with my aerius i's and your right they don't rock, UNLESS properly feed. That may be your problem. It's all in the pre amp/amp that makes these Martins rock. I've even tried 250 watt amps that did not make the Martins rock. So finally someone told me about the BAT gear and I auditioned a bat vk200 only a 100watts and now my Martins rock. The vk200 out performed all of the big amps I tried, including the grand signature, AR, classe, meridian and many more. Yes I was very picky on my search, the above amps seemed to polite for my martins, but the bat just controlled the martins and made them perform like never before. The vk 3i is the ultimate match with the vk 200 and martins. Good luck to you and I hope you find what you in search of. pete
Minalt, I agree with you on the sl3's, I did not like them and bought the aerius i's and am very happy with them. Lev335 has the ascents and loves them also, eventually I will try them, but I'm leaning more to cls2 with 2 subs for music. Just have to find the right subs. Maybe the vandy's 2wq or the storm III.
