Martin logan prodigies


I seriously considering the martin protigies but some of the reviewers seem to have some reservation about the low bass extention at only 28HZ . I need some advise vis a vis the bass. It also seem that in their views a speakers that cost 10K should have been disign to go much lower. what are your opinions.

I've heard the Prodigy at the last CES show. It was driven by the big krell mono blocks, I think they were 600watt. The sound was very dynamic but I think they were over driven too much of the time just to show how dynamic they could sound. The image height may at first seem too high but this is because compared to most speakers which have their tweeters at the 36"-42" height, the Martin Logans tweeter/midrange panel extents to over 65". I've owned their Quest "Z" speakers which are also over 65" in height and the image height sounds just right!! I think that as long as you have your listening seat at least 12' from the speakers you will be amazed! You can also tip the speakers a few degrees forward to "lower" the image height. I have dynamic speakers now and miss the transparent midrange the ML's provide!
