Martin Logan Owners...Why should I?


Fellow Audio Lovers,
I currently own B&W speakers... 805's used in a stereo setup, I am looking to add to my system to incoporate home theater "5.1", I was going to add N802's as mains and a center channel HTM 1 or 2 not sure on that WHEN a friend suggested instead of adding to my B&W collection I go Martin Logan. He suggested Aeon 1's at minimum if not Ascent 1's... for center a Fresco or a Cinema 1, and maybe Fresco's for the rear surrounds... My question is MAYBE someone on Audiogon has "been there done that" already and can give some advise... I will use the system mostly to listen to music say 90/10... My musical tastes vary... You might say go listen to them and decide for yourself...good answer BUT for me... a side by side demo isn't going to happen...I haven't found a dealer that has both..some input from Audiogon readers is important..As I started this thread I stated why should I?? TELL ME PLEASE!!

Hi Wmwman,

You better have a good amp to drive logans. Even the smaller ones like the Aeons need an amp that can handle the difficult load the ESL will present.

you will get some VERY good answers to these and more questions if you visit the Martin Logan Club online.

I personally have owned MLs for nearly 20 years. I currently have a pair of reQuests and a Cinema and can tell you that it's AMAZING what these speakers can do for movies, if driven properly...

Good luck.. check out the site, you'll learn ALOT
